But anyway, I wish you all a happy one anyway. :-) <div><br /><div>It's been a while, I actually hardly did any scrap these last 2-3 months, but I have two little layouts to share anyway, the only 2 I did. I hope to get back to it real soon!! I quite like these two layouts. I wanted to make nice pages of my kids for their dad. Crea'chooet had a challenge for a monochromatic layout, so I made the one of Naomi for that challenge and after that I tried to keep the same style for the other one. I love the red and the blue on the kraft paper, I love kraft paper!! I acan't really remember which brands of paper I used, all I can say is that I loooove these little dots on the layout of Naomi. I used glimmer mist on the flowers and lots of stuff I found in my ever-growing stash! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 396px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444288782687152530" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/S43_zYK2KZI/AAAAAAAAAYE/iRUqPeHxwxI/s400/layout2.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 388px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444288779125859154" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/S43_zK5xI1I/AAAAAAAAAX8/nubHcdp4jEM/s400/layout1.jpg" /></div><div></div><br /><div>Yesterday we had a real sunny day, not hot yet but then again it *was* only March 2d!

The website doesn't do polaroids at the moment, but they should be back soon! I quite like the result, the picture I took of the layout is not very good (taken with flash light) but anyway. <div></div><br /><div><em>Aujourd'hui je vous montre ma dernière page avec des polaroids, faits sur le site <a href="http://www.rollip.com/">rollip</a> dont je parle dans ce <a href="http://linnao.blogspot.com/2009/09/polaroid-et-crop.html">post</a>, la page a été inspirée par un post sur ce <a href="http://lescrapdenath44.blogspot.com/2009/12/weekend.html">blog </a>de Nathalie. Le site ne fait pas de polaroids pour l'instant, mais ça devrait revenir bientôt. La qualité d'image n'est pas superbe, j'ai du utilisé le flash, mais j'aime beaucoup la page!

J'avour tout de suite qu'en effet les pages sont simples, mais le coté Clean est surtout grâce à PSE qui m'a été bien utile pour enlever les taches d'encre :-O<br /><br />La première, c'est "Je t'aime moi non plus" avec des photos de mes chats qui se battent, tout le temps! Mais toujours assez gentimment, je crois qu'ils ne se font pas mal. C'est plutot un jeu pour le petit, la grande doit en avoir ras-le-bol! Que du papier Bazzill, quelques brads, un skull (merci à <a href="http://mikrado.canalblog.com/">Mikrado</a>!), des peel-offs et un sticker de Kesi'Art, j'adore ses planches de stickers!! Ah oui, et un peu de Craft Robo pour le titre.<br /><br /><em>A layout about my fighting cats, who are more playing then really fighting. The title is difficult to translate, I'd say something like "I love you, neither do I" which is the title of a famous song here in France. </em><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 391px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409462642063423586" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SxJFnMXvuGI/AAAAAAAAAXs/DK72UtMRL2s/s400/chats.jpg" /><br />Puis une page pour le challenge "Sketch" du forum <a href="http://temporelles.exprimetoi.net/forum.htm">Tempor'elles</a> , basée sur le sketch de Elle scrap. J'adore le C&S mais je trouve que c'est beaucoup plus dur que ça en a l'ai! Bref, pas 100% satisfaite du travail... Papier (tout petit peu!!) Dream Street paper et titre imprimé (c'est la première fois que je fais ça!)<br /><br /><em>A C&S layout about my son with his Halloween make-up after a day in the holiday center. Dream street papers and title printed with computer, my first time ever :)</em><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SxJFmwqRtYI/AAAAAAAAAXk/nL6Xrwm_2H4/s1600/batman.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 315px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409462634624955778" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SxJFmwqRtYI/AAAAAAAAAXk/nL6Xrwm_2H4/s400/batman.jpg" /></a> C'est tout ce que j'ai à montrer, je ne scrappe pas énormément ces jours-ci. Merci d'avance pour vos commentaires!<br /><br /><em>That's all for now, I don't scrap much these days. More to come! Thanks for any comments!</em><br /><br /><div></div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-14820557871742634442009-11-11T01:19:00.000-08:002009-11-11T01:27:32.649-08:00Still haven't found what I am looking forOne of my <strong>favourite</strong> songs by U2 is the challenge of the week at <a href="http://scrappingthemusic.blogspot.com/">Scrapping the Music </a>this week. Perfect! OK, I have to admit that I did this layout two years ago, well, it <span style="font-size:130%;"><em>is</em> </span>one of my <strong>favourite</strong> songs isn't it? It is one of my (numerous) favourite layouts too, so all the more reason to give this one a second life!!

Autumn starts to kick in, after weeks of good weather, sunshine and over 25°, which is not usual for me in October, being from Holland, it started to rain today... <em><span style="font-size:78%;">My laundry was still outside</span>. </em>Not happy about that! <strong>Nothing</strong> makes me happier than laundry drying outside. Well, almost nothing :) A lot of things actually! Had a good day at work, two of my quotations sold immediately which doesn't happen every day, so that made me happy. Scrapping makes me happy, I have two layouts to show you that I made a couple of weeks ago but that I didn't publish on my blog yet. Might actually throw some scrapping in between dinner and off to bed! <div> </div><div>This first layout shows Alban in the swimming pool. <em><span style="font-size:85%;">This happy face makes me very happy too!</span></em> Patterned paper by Cherry Arte and Jellybean (the frogs!!). No title, but didn't need one this time! </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390269374818717506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 387px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/Ss4VcAG8j0I/AAAAAAAAAW8/_vRy34yCzzw/s400/blog13.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>This second layout is featuring Naomi. The colors were very much inspired by her clothing. This picture was taken on a <span style="font-size:85%;"><em>happy</em></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> day, we were visiting Rocamadour (layouts already shown in previous posts!) with our friends Loïc and Rachel and the kids. Naomi was just taking a break from walking on this picture, isn't she cute? I *<em>think</em>* the papers were from Jellybean too, but I'm not sure. Stamp from Magnolia. </span></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390269381861053186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 398px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/Ss4VcaV-EwI/AAAAAAAAAXE/VHUPJTJLftQ/s400/blog14.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>Strangely enough, this little strip of white on black polkadot makes me <em><span style="font-size:85%;">happy!</span></em></div><div> </div><div>Coming home and being welcomed back by little Bugger (the little red cat) makes me happy too! Last weekend I took some pictures of Buggy and Scooby fighting (they <span style="font-size:130%;">still</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> don't get along, Buggy loves Scooby but Scooby does </span><span style="font-size:130%;">not </span><span style="font-size:100%;">like Buggy), I'll have to upload them to show you in a new post. I'll leave it to this for today, thanks for stopping by and thanks for your comments!</span></div><div> </div></div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-58586931371266580552009-10-06T23:28:00.000-07:002009-10-06T23:36:27.075-07:00A gagner!<div>Sur le blog de la <a href="http://la-compagnie-du-tampon.over-blog.com/">Compagnie des Elfes</a>: </div><br /><div></div><br /><div align="center">un superbe lot</div><div align="center">de tampons</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">faites passer le message sur votre blog</div><br /><div align="center">le tirage au sort aura lieu samedi 10 octobre 2009 </div><br /><div align="center"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389742984687764034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 286px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/Ssw2sED3wkI/AAAAAAAAAW0/7iIPE3GTR1Y/s400/comp+elfes.bmp" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">des tampons anniversaire, fait avec passion,</div><div align="center">bisous, la vie est belle, juste pour le plaisir, toi ...</div><br /><div align="center">étiquette cuir, encreur versamark,</div><div align="center">boutons transparents, libellules,</div><div align="center">fleurs et brads</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">pas belle la vie ???</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="left">Et ben, moi je dis TRES BELLE! :-) Bonne chance!</div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-41133093978535970002009-09-28T10:12:00.000-07:002009-09-28T10:23:20.547-07:003 pages en 3 heures, l'atelier de Safo!<div><div><div>Mon premier atelier lors du crop (voir post avant, d'hier) était avec <a href="http://safo.typepad.fr/">Safo</a>. Et voilà le challenge était de faire 3 pages en 3 heures avec les thèmes patouille, freestyle et couture! Pas évident, en seulement 3 heures avec une 'prof' qui chronomètrait à la minute près! ;-) Mais, j'ai pu les finir tous les 3 et je suis assez contente du résultat. En plus! ;-)<br /></div><div>La première montre mon fils et mon petit chat. Le fond de la page a été fait avec des pages de livre déchirée, des tampons et du glimmer mist (j'adore!) de Tattered Angels. La voici:<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386568654563214818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SsDvpu1-heI/AAAAAAAAAWk/IWvSleyhD0Y/s400/crop2.jpg" border="0" /></div>Ensuite la page Freestyle avec un beau papier d'Onirie (drôle de rêve) et une photo de ma copine Rachel et moi, l'été dernier à Rocamadour.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386568642685494210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 387px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SsDvpCmG48I/AAAAAAAAAWc/UIrCxMtBNUg/s400/crop1.jpg" border="0" />Et pour finir la page couture. Vous remarquerez que je ne suis pas très douée en couture, c'est difficile d'aller tout droit!! :-D La photo est de Naomi, qui revenait tout juste de chez le coiffeur, d'où le titre! Alphabets sur ces 2 dernières page sont de Kési'Art.<br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386568658855078066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 382px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SsDvp-1PKLI/AAAAAAAAAWs/e8bulc4q9Mc/s400/crop3.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div><br />J'ai encore des choses à montrer, des layouts faits avant le crop, les minis fait pendant le crop... mais ça va devoir attendre car j'ai un faim de loup!

Et CROP!<div>Just un petit message pour partager ce site que je viens de trouver: <a href="http://www.rollip.com/">Rollip</a>! Génial, ce site permet de créer des "polaroids" à partir de tes propres photos, et c'est hyper facile en plus. Un example de ce que j'ai fait:</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386083548860004162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 333px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/Sr82c3RgN0I/AAAAAAAAAWU/BpTRmWnenmU/s400/alban+et+ses+piques+010+rollip.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div></div><div>J'ai trouvé ce site via <a href="http://www.creapassions.com/">Scrapastuces</a>, et je sens que je vais bien m'amuser avec!!!</div><div> </div><div>Hier, je suis allée au crop de <a href="http://padicrea.canalblog.com/">Padicréa</a>, le journée a été trop chouette!! J'ai fait des ateliers avec Safo, avec Mélanie Lagarde et avec Brigitte de la <a href="http://www.la-compagnie-des-elfes.com/">Compagnie des Elfes</a>, 9 heures de "cours" et ça s'est passé trop vite! Une fois pas coutûme, j'ai pu finir les trois pages proposées par Safo dans le temps (!! d'habitude j'amène mes projets à moitié finis à la maison!) et j'ai quasiment fini le mini proposé par Mélanie (il me reste plus que quelques stickers à ajouter!). Le mini proposé par Brigitte était absolument génial et m'a permis de (enfin!) faire connaissance avec les encres à alcool, que j'ai immédiatement adoptés( lis: achetés)! Je n'ai pas pu finir ce mini dans le temps, car tous les pages et papiers devaient secher et ça prenait trop de temps. Par contre, je n'ai pas encore photographié mes réas donc les photos sont à venir!</div><div> </div><div>Je fais un petit coucou à Céline de Créachooet', Sandrine de Montauban, Caroline de Padicréa et toutes les autres femmes fort sympatiques dont je ne me souviens pas le nom :-O Si jamais elles passent par ici... C'est sur, l'année prochaine je me réinscris!!</div><div> </div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-42057743230121025282009-09-20T00:36:00.000-07:002009-09-20T00:43:41.857-07:00St Cirq Lapopie<div>Another challenge, a layout based on a sketch, which you can find <a href="http://classycoordinates.typepad.com/classygirl_musings/2009/09/week-37-sketch-and-layout.html">here</a>. It's another layout with pictures of our region, when our friends Rachel and Loïc came to visit us during summer, we transformed ourselves into tourists :-) St Cirq Lapopie is a beautiful little town about an hour drive from our house. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383451374554176690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 392px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SrXcgJ3j3LI/AAAAAAAAAWM/AXHa8Eh6fds/s400/SketchWeek37.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><p>Paper are from Basic Grey. </p><p>Today is lazy Sunday, at least that's what I hope it will be!

Well, might just be THE opportunity to scrap some more, I have lots of pictures to scrap (we <em>are</em> just after the summer holidays aren't we?) and really feel like scrapping! Here are two layouts I did recently, for challenges.</div><br /><div></div><div>The first was made for the september challenge on <a href="http://ww.classyscrapper.com/">classyscrapper</a>. We had to use a Classypak, a technique that was new to us (I used dry embossing, something I hadn't tried before but it's so simple and looks neat!) and at least 3 items that have been sitting in our stash for at least 6 months (I used brads, flowers and a chipboard crown). The pictures were taken in Rocamadour when we visited that town with our friends Rachel and Loïc and their kids. Rocamadour is so beautiful! The paper is 7gypsies.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383067741320666994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 388px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SrR_lwtIX3I/AAAAAAAAAV8/PLLSHZB-7p4/s400/MonthlychallengeSept.jpg" border="0" /></div></div><br /><p>The second was made for the sketch challenge on <a href="http://52sketches52weeks.com/">52 sketches...52 weeks</a>. I just discovered this site this week and as I really liked the sketch, I decided to participate. The layout shows Rachel and me, the title is <strong>really cheezy</strong> but I quite like the result! Papers are Porcelain from Basic Grey. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383067747827342578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 383px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SrR_mI8cXPI/AAAAAAAAAWE/6qEefEVYRnE/s400/52blogweek37.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>Look how both layouts have a hand made "flower" in them, I just tried out this technique and really <em>love</em> how these flowers turn out and <em>obviously </em>match the layout. You might just see a lot more of them in future layouts! </p><p>That's all for now, you might see a lot more after the rainy weekend! Thanks for stopping by and thank you for your comments! </p><p> </p>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-79620631823992234512009-09-13T03:13:00.000-07:002009-09-13T03:43:09.234-07:00Birthday boy, pictures and some layouts<div><div><div>I totally feel like scrapping again, after a couple of months of very low mojo! Last week I went to the first 'class' of a local scrapbook association, it was good fun and nice to scrap with others again! I'll definately go more often, even though our mutual time tables here might not allow me to go each time. AND Saturday two weeks from now I go to a huge crop where I'll take 3 classes and hopefully have a lot of scrap fun.<br /><div><div><div></div><br /><div>September means back to school, in France it does anyway. I tradionally take pictures of my kids on the first day of school, easy to compare each year! Here they are for 2009: </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380896263164049634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 192px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SqzIpGMeuOI/AAAAAAAAAVM/QmHXY2_iVx8/s320/rentr%C3%A9e-2009-2010-006-blog.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380896273438682402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 192px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SqzIpseJLSI/AAAAAAAAAVU/Jh66o0Ydddg/s320/rentr%C3%A9e-2009-2010-013-blog.jpg" border="0" />Yesterday we celebrated Albans birthday with a couple of his friends from school (and other), this involved a lot of shouting and screaming, a lot of running and climbing, a lot of playing, a lot of presents and a lot of candy! And of course this also involved a birthday cake with 5 candles:<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380896278054474530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SqzIp9qokyI/AAAAAAAAAVc/lfz362L88mY/s320/f%C3%AAte-anniv-Alban-036-blog.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div><p>I also did a little scrap these last days. I suddenly had this feeling that I needed to scrap some more of the kids first years, as I started scrapping only in 2005, I mostly scrap recent pictures and the first years are really missing from their albums. So I tried to make up a little ;-)</p><p>This first one is about my little girls' second birthday. This feels weird to show her 2d birthday in the same post as <em>his</em> 5th! She's 7 now. Cute pictures!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380900130016482370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SqzMKLV8VEI/AAAAAAAAAVk/h_Xcpk-2cIc/s320/blog10.jpg" border="0" /> <p>This one is with pictures made during my son's first year. It is also the first layout I do without any patterned paper, I just realise this :-O Love these pictures!!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380900133518450946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 314px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SqzMKYY4IQI/AAAAAAAAAVs/YbCpF5ofUdc/s320/blog11.jpg" border="0" /> <p>And finally this wonderful picture of Naomi with Snowwhite and her prince, Naomi is very proud of this picture and for me it was <strong><em>the</em></strong> opportunity to use this paper that I once bought and didn't think I'd ever use ;-) That happens! </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380900143393471890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 306px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SqzMK9LQ_ZI/AAAAAAAAAV0/rzEfLJeD868/s320/blog12.jpg" border="0" /> <p>I have one more layout that is almost finished and I need to finish the layout I started during the scrap class, so I'll have more to show soon!

Besides that it's Saturday, which is always a good thing :-) This last week I registered for a crop in a small town not far from my house, near Padirac/Rocamadour, at the association <a href="http://padicrea.canalblog.com/">Padicréa</a>, I'll go one day at the end of the month and I'm all happy about this! What's more, when I registered I learned about a scrapbook association in my town, huge surprise, a good one! I hope to be able to join them (depends on our mutual time tables here! We'll have a busy year with tennis, aquagym and maybe scrap! And work of course!).<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div></div><br /><div>As promised I'll show you the layouts I made over this summer, because I'm desperately behind on my blog! </div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377918490534167490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SqI0X6tLQ8I/AAAAAAAAAT8/CbVmMskLtgw/s320/blog1.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>Hard to see, but this is Alban being lazy in the garden.

And back to scrapping... even though I did do some scrap in the past months! Yep, I have lots of layouts to show you, but for today I'll just stick to this one layout that I did for the <a href="http://onelittleword.typepad.com/">OLW </a>challenge! The "Word up" is Beauty and with a real beauty in the house, this one was not difficult ;-)<br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376738969065856194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 365px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 366px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/Sp4Dmu0rnMI/AAAAAAAAAT0/Ewhs8rrnXPY/s320/OLW2.jpg" border="0" />I just love these pictures of Naomi, taken last July just before she had a haircut! The title is "Pure Beauty".</p><p>I'll be back SOON to show my other layouts! Thanks for looking and Please leave me a comment is you stopped by! :-)<br /></p>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-6693034677399713482009-06-06T04:51:00.001-07:002009-06-06T05:17:34.123-07:00LayoutsOh my, I just discovered that is really has been a LONG time since I blogged, shame on me! The beautiful weather makes that I spend a lot more time in the garden (doing nothing) then in the house scrapping or blogging. So basically since mid-april I only did 2 layouts! Which I'll show you now ;-) <div><br /><div>Well, if the blogger would hurry up oploading my pictures that is.... slow internet connection! Grr. </div><div></div><br /><div>This first is about my kids making a <em>delicious</em> cake with sand and water, the layout was made for a challenge on <a href="http://www.classyscrapper.com/">classyscrapper</a>. </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344186701798686130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 387px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SipdfZYTvbI/AAAAAAAAATk/y5gNoBJAfkk/s400/MonthlychallengeApril.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div>This second one shows my little <a href="http://linnao.blogspot.com/2009/04/nagawika.html">Nagawika </a>with his huge smile, this picture is photographically spoken quite bad but I LOVE it! </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344186705638943074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 392px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/Sipdfnr5aWI/AAAAAAAAATs/9y_ixr1FPh0/s400/gallery3.jpg" border="0" />Well, even writing <em>a little </em>about scrap makes me feel like doing a layout! And as the weather is REALLY bad today (such a bugger for a Saturday, after a week of sunshine at work!!), I might actually go for it! More to come, soon I hope! Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br /><div></div></div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-90850655141047778062009-04-13T02:33:00.001-07:002009-04-13T02:44:03.723-07:00Nagawika<div><div><div><div>I'm way behind and a real bad blogger! My scrapmojo or whatever you like to call it is GONE, and has trouble coming back! I think some challenges are in order :) I did do this page of my son, who did an indians and cowboy show with his school. We had a great evening watching the kids dance, listening to their cute songs, one of which was called Nagawika, eating (all parents took some food to share) and socialising :) Here's the layout:</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324108386908055682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 393px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SeMIXptVKII/AAAAAAAAATE/qW_zsR8A_Pw/s400/Stashchallenge6.jpg" border="0" /><br />This was before the same cute little Nagawika decided the layout desperately needed some drawing on it :-O<br /><br /><div>And some pictures of the event, I'm sorry for the bad quality, the lighting was horrible :</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324108391867056162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SeMIX8LpgCI/AAAAAAAAATU/8o4ITxy5sLQ/s400/nagawika+006.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324108389812988594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SeMIX0h66rI/AAAAAAAAATM/OJAuBdxiW_Q/s400/nagawika+009.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324108396728682050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SeMIYOSwBkI/AAAAAAAAATc/xnpTYbUnab0/s400/nagawika+037.jpg" border="0" />Thanks for looking!<br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-79003904632614952332009-03-15T09:23:00.000-07:002009-03-15T09:50:39.924-07:00Spring!<div><div>I know we're only the 15th of March, and that technically spoken we are therefore in WINTER, but it almost feels like summer to me!

Spring is in the air!! Temperatures went up to 18°, the sky was blue, so nice after what feels like a long winter! Well, today it's raining again, but I'm sure spring will be back soon! :-)</div><div></div><br /><div>A layout I made earlier this week! Personally, I like it a lot! I love the picture of my little girl! After an article in "Histoires de Pages" about mixing papers from different collections and different manufacturers, leading to mixing colors and textures, I made this: </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308117395091778690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 394px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/Sao4pbCEbII/AAAAAAAAASQ/UDjU2mS3e3Y/s400/gallery2.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div>I used Cherry Arte, Bazzill, Sassafras Lass, Hambly and one more whose manufacturer I forgot... Plus brads, chipboard with stickles, flowers, a felt heart and even some heat embossing, something I rarely do. </div><div> </div><div>TFL</div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-36448497948387177262009-02-17T02:26:00.000-08:002009-02-17T02:38:05.586-08:00One Little Word - mama is having Fun<div>I have FINALLY created a layout for the newest challenge on the One Little Word challenge blog. I've been wanting to participate for ages, and finally did it! I have to say, I am totally, utterly intimidated by the incredible talent on that blog, so jumping in with a layout is not necessarily easy, for me, but I did it and I kind of love my creation. </div><div></div><br /><div>I had these pictures of my son who was willing to do some kind of photoshoot with mom (me!), I have my new camera for about 2 months now and was so happy he wanted me to do the photos! I have to add that normally he says something like "I'm really annoyed with you taking all these photos" :-) Yes, he's 4! So in order to scrap these pictures, I wanted something else but "Alban on a photoshoot" or something similar, I wanted it more to be about ME liking to take photos. So what better word to use than the Word Up "FUN"? Here we go:</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303712374026339442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 210px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SZqSTcyvBHI/AAAAAAAAASI/bJRXKGL2at0/s400/OLW1.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div></div><div>I used paper from Love Elsie, Bazzill and Pink Paisley Vintage Moon. And Bubble plastic, ordinary staples, buttons from I-don't-know-who, some rubber like feltish stuff, no idea what it is called, Autumn leaves stamp, American Craft Thickers, Pink Paisley letter stickers, Paint dabbers and a piece of cardboard that I ripped of one of the last moving boxes still around! It is actually a hanging layout, but I had to crop most of the background because the picture is taken against a glass door and I just realised the glass is really dirty! :-O</div><div> </div><div>TFL</div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-64069488407812430132009-02-15T07:54:00.000-08:002009-02-15T08:42:29.561-08:00A valentine inspired challengeBut not a classic valentine challenge, not necessary to use red :-P I did this layout for the February challenge on <a href="http://www.classycoordinates.com/">Classyscrapper</a>, I rejoined the kit club so felt it was right again to do the monthly challenges! The challenge was to use at least 3 hearts, one of the following words: kiss, hug, sweet and another I forgot, in the title, and to use paper from a past classy kit. I used basic Grey, don't remember which month (and year!) they're from. the title is My Sweetheart. I'm actually not really satisfied with this layout, but after procastrinating for at least a week I didn't even want to look at the papers anymore, so I let it be. :-) TFL<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303054923004174466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 387px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SZg8Ww4M4II/AAAAAAAAASA/HeuqYLObHDQ/s400/MonthlychallengeFeb.jpg" border="0" />Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-87069164688841115782009-02-04T12:44:00.000-08:002009-02-04T12:57:39.193-08:00Crescendo and a Happy Dance!Wednesday today, a day off work! Today was so cool, the weather was beautiful, blue skies and lots of sun. The thermometer even showed 15°C!!! Wow, and it is only February!! <div><div></div><br /><div>Two layouts to show you. The first one is one of my personal all-time favorites, I like the photos, the paper, the colors... Hope you like it too! :-) I used Bazzill, Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket (the mat), a hambly transparents (love it!), flowers (prima and unknown). that reminds me, this one too (see my last post) was for the use your stash flower challenge on <a href="http://www.classyscrapper.com/">classyscrapper</a>. (and the second one too!) </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299048051579595186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 397px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SYoAIJogqbI/AAAAAAAAARA/otAzouiFrDA/s400/Stashchallenge2b.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div>This other layout is one I love too. It's my little girl doing a happy dance at the playground, love this picture! I used Bazzill, Rouge de Garance and WeRmemory papers and rub-ons, flowers from Prima and Chatterbox, American Craft thickers, and loads of little thingies from unknown sources. </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299048049525568194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 397px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SYoAIB-yssI/AAAAAAAAARI/2LqjICkG3MU/s400/Stashchallenge2c.jpg" border="0" />Thanks for looking!<br /><br /><div></div></div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-70858498969469312692009-01-30T23:39:00.001-08:002009-01-30T23:46:29.480-08:00Celebrate Friendship!<div>For christmas, we went to our former region to spend the holidays with family. We had a chance to go see our friends while over there, it was great to see eachother again! Luckily I didn't forget to ask someone to take a picture of Rachel and me, because I don't have many pictures of us (if any) and don't have many pictures of myself in general! And a great friendship is important to scrap! </div><br /><div>This week, the use your stash challenge on <a href="http://www.classyscrapper.com/">classyscrapper </a>is to use flowers, so I did (13)! Here's the result:</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297360744891050946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 376px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SYQBh-ZUa8I/AAAAAAAAAQI/Lv2g2vG3tX8/s400/Stashchallenge2.jpg" border="0" />Thanks for looking! More to come soon, because the flowers are VERY inspiring! :-)<br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-81605576299828815172009-01-24T05:57:00.000-08:002009-01-24T07:25:33.747-08:00Scrapjacked!I am REALLY gonna try to blog more often! Really! The weather is pretty bad over here, rain, rain, rain, storm and rain. Oh, and did I mention Rain?!? It’s so annoying, I can’t wait for spring to start!<br /><br />So, as we are pretty much confined to staying home, due to the weather. Which is totally fine by me, I really felt like scrapping today and decided to do a blog challenge. After going through the different challenges in my favourites folder, I decided for the <a href="http://scrapjacked.blogspot.com/2009/01/kristina-contesplaya-youve-been.html">scrapjack challenge</a>, because that the current challenges, based on a photo wall from <a href="http://kristinacontes.typepad.com/">Kristina Contes</a>, inspired me to scrap pictures of Naomi who had a friend over to play this last Wednesday.<br /><br />The layout completely does NOT look like the a.m. photo wall, which is clean and stylish, but it is inspired from it!! The papers used are American Craft, a tiny little Hambly transparent and Love, Elsie. Besides that, I used paint and pens, and I believe that is all, no embellishments.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294859517238037826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 390px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SXserXSRzUI/AAAAAAAAAPI/U19kWhf_nEQ/s400/scrapjacked1.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />I also found some time to start on my ATC holder!!! I mean to make a full ATC holder for the year 2009, a little like the 365 days project (that most scrappers seem to know), but it will be just about the kids and not necessarily every day. Ok, it was supposed to be every day, but toward the 10th of January I have decided that that is not possible for me! ;-) So I meant to start this ATC project like a week into the new year (so that I'd have a couple of picture to start with), and I am already behind :-O So this morning I made the tab saying "January" and I printed out the photos, 9 on one 4x6" photosheet (that's why I couldn't start on the 1st!) , 18 in total (so far)! I'll show pictures once I have done like at least a week!<br /><br />Thanks for looking and don't forget the comment! ;-)Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-76319975215588706092009-01-23T09:14:00.000-08:002009-01-23T09:22:33.025-08:00Weekend!!<div>Oh I'm glad it's Friday. Even gladder (can you say that?) that it is Friday evening!! The week has been quite busy, so busy that I have not yet had a chance to post my latest layout, even though I finished it last Sunday!! Here it is, the title is Autumn Colors.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294539406231894962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 369px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SXn7ic3Ce7I/AAAAAAAAAOg/mghz5kyWzFw/s400/gallery1.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>The title was actually meant to be in the right upper corner, but I cut the words out with my Craft Robot, got them through the Xyron X thing and then they were so incredibly sticky (I know that it is supposed to be, but it was actually annoying!!) and I tried my best to stick them on right (didn't do a great job) and at the end I noticed I took the wrong corner :-O Oh well, this will work too. </div><div> </div><div>The weather is HORRIBLE here, it is raining raining! Richard just called, he picked up the children from school and is still not home, because the river fled and traffic is *hell*. Luckily for me I'm safe on my "mountain" - not very high but high enough to keep the water away!!</div><div> </div><div>The two peas blog challenge for today is "what are your scrapping plans for this Weekend". Looks like a very easy one to answer, but it actually isn't because basically I scrap when I have a moment and that is not always to be foreseen. But I do hope to scrap!!</div><div> </div><div>Have a good weekend all, and thanks for comments!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-18380825079436874272009-01-18T04:24:00.000-08:002009-01-18T04:40:54.549-08:00Classy use your Stash challenge!On the <a href="http://www.classyscrapper.com/">Classyscrapper </a>message board, a new series of challenges just started, a Use you stash challenge. For this week, the item to be used was Chipboard. I actuallyd don't really drown in the Chipboard but I did have enough to make a nice layout about my son riding his bike while wearing the "rollerskates" from his sister. These and all the security equipment happen to be pink, which made me use a little pink in the layout, a thing I don't usually do when putting together layouts of my son. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292610458716073570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 308px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SXMhK7ZJ7mI/AAAAAAAAAM8/iv3I9WHKxdU/s320/Stashchallenge1.jpg" border="0" /> <div> </div><div>PP Cherry Arte (from quite a while ago), American Craft Thickers and arrows, one Tim Holtz grungeboard, prima flowers and other unknown! Sketch by Tiare Smith. </div><div> </div><div>And for the TwoPeas challenge:</div><div>Challenge for today~ What would you do if you knew you wouldn't fail?</div><div> </div><div>This is a hard one! First of all I don't know whether answers should be scraprelated or not, so I'll answer both ways! Scraprelated that would be send in layouts for publications. It's not that I don't send them in because I'm afraid to fail, I just don't bother because I *know* I'll fail :-D </div><div>And not scraprelated, I honestly don't know. I don't "don't do" things because I might fail, I'm in general not afraid to fail. But one thing is driving alone (with the kids) all the way to Holland (12 km / about 800 miles), not because I'm afraid of having an accident or something but because I'm afraid that halfway up there, I'll be so fed up with driving (and tired of it) that I would have to abandon :-O </div><div> </div><div>I won't wait this long for a new post this time, my next layout is almost finished :-)</div><div>Thanks for looking and thank you for comments!</div>Linnaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17647098329651549865noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905912834856316321.post-3939796410186022612009-01-10T08:32:00.000-08:002009-01-10T09:08:32.225-08:00A new layout and my scrapcorner!Let's start this post with my newest layout! It's called favorite model, it's about Naomi modelling for her mom who has a new camera. The layout is made from a sketch from the <a href="http://www.classycoordinates.com/">Sketch-a-Day club</a> that I joined this year for the second time, because the sketches are great and the ladies on the forum have really become my friends! I really love these photos and I found the paper to go perfectly with her clothes (blue basically!!): Vintage Moon collection from Pink Paisley. Some flowers, some ribbon and some paper from Love Elsie and hop... it's easy with a sketch ;-) <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289704279707528082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 301px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SWjOBC7Uq5I/AAAAAAAAAK8/c6JYPsLTx8E/s320/sketch2Jan1-11.jpg" border="0" /> And 3 months after moving into my new house, it is about time to show you where I scrap! It a corner of our study and with a little help from Ikea, all my stuff found a place in it! I really love how it turned out:<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289705004907458034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 202px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SWjOrQgdbfI/AAAAAAAAALE/m-CiyyQhlzc/s320/Jan10-004web.jpg" border="0" />My glass desk with Ikea kitchen accessories on the wall to put lots of stuff and therefore leaving my table quite cleanish!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289705020044045826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SWjOsI5TbgI/AAAAAAAAALk/SFR4gLz8Tig/s320/Jan10-015web.jpg" border="0" /> <div><div><div><div><div>When I am at my table, my scrap wall is just on my right hand with my cabinet that I love, my shelves with albums and magazines and my embellishment drawers. A closer look on the next picture:<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289705011571560802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SWjOrpVTkWI/AAAAAAAAALc/SI05T2N4tvk/s320/Jan10-014web.jpg" border="0" />I'll also give you a little peek into some of the drawers: my alphabets, my stamps and my cuttlebug dies. Don't worry, the others are full too :-)<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289705009921785314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SWjOrjL9_eI/AAAAAAAAALU/DKN4OklSGHQ/s320/Jan10-013web.jpg" border="0" /> <div>And finally another important "detail" of my scrap area, the paper! Seen like this it actually doesn't seem to be a lot, but I think it can keep me scrapping for two years or so... More then enough for me, but hey, there's always room for some more! I stole this idea from <a href="http://pascallle.blogspot.com/">Pascallle</a>, who uses the same plastic "thing" to store paper in (I'm sorry, the English word doesn't pop in mind!!)<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289705010888845378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RTxDxnMSfWE/SWjOrmyiKEI/AAAAAAAAALM/8XMaf-7RWEQ/s320/Jan10-006web.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div></div><br />Well, thanks for taking the tour in my scrapcorner and for commenting on my blog posts and/or layouts!
