About time!

OK, I guess it's too late to say happy new year, in France anyway you're only "allowed" to say that in January! But anyway, I wish you all a happy one anyway. :-)

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!

Yesterday we had a real sunny day, not hot yet but then again it *was* only March 2d! Spring is defenately coming! I hope...

je t'aime moi non plus

J'ai deux petites réas à vous montrer aujourd'hui, tous les deux essais du Clean & Simple. 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

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 Mikrado!), 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.

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.

Puis une page pour le challenge "Sketch" du forum Tempor'elles , 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!)

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 :)

C'est tout ce que j'ai à montrer, je ne scrappe pas énormément ces jours-ci. Merci d'avance pour vos commentaires!

That's all for now, I don't scrap much these days. More to come! Thanks for any comments!

Still haven't found what I am looking for

One of my favourite songs by U2 is the challenge of the week at Scrapping the Music this week. Perfect! OK, I have to admit that I did this layout two years ago, well, it is one of my favourite 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!! So here we go:

The journaling is in French, it is all about my sons love for CARS and Flash McQueen and despite the fact that he had four little red cars by the name of Flash, (Lightning McQueen in English!), he was always looking for one because he never found one when he needed one!

PP: Crate paper, Bazill background, alphabet unknown and Cuttlebug.

Thanks for looking, please leave a comment! I love comments!

Birthday boy, pictures and some layouts

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.

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:

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:

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 ;-)

This first one is about my little girls' second birthday. This feels weird to show her 2d birthday in the same post as his 5th! She's 7 now. Cute pictures!

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!!

And finally this wonderful picture of Naomi with Snowwhite and her prince, Naomi is very proud of this picture and for me it was the opportunity to use this paper that I once bought and didn't think I'd ever use ;-) That happens!

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! Thanks for looking!

As promised!

After two days of rain, cold and work (perfect combination, not!), summer is back, the sun is out and temperatures are slowly rising again! 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 Padicréa, 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!).

As promised I'll show you the layouts I made over this summer, because I'm desperately behind on my blog!

Hard to see, but this is Alban being lazy in the garden. My take on C&S :-D

And here's Naomi being a real girl, also in our garden!

Both the kids at the Figeac fair.

Alban's new shoes, the picture was taken by Alban himself, he was really happy with the spiderman shoes! These shoes are as we speak ALMOST ready for the garbage can :-O

My little girl after eating cherries.

Alban on the same Fair in Figeac, he was having so much fun on his motorcycle!!
Alban again, blowing a Dandelion (?)Naomi who's happy with spring!

And last but not least a layout about Scooby (the bigger one!) who does so NOT like our new kitten Buggy, that we took in our house in July at the age of 7 weeks.

I'm sorry, but I have NO CLUE which papers I used for which layout with which embellishments etc! Sorry! That's all for now, thank you for your comments!

Nagawika

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:

This was before the same cute little Nagawika decided the layout desperately needed some drawing on it :-O

And some pictures of the event, I'm sorry for the bad quality, the lighting was horrible :

Thanks for looking!
