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...

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!

Holiday is over...

Time to get back to normal occupations such as updating my blog and participating in Scrap challenges! 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 OLW challenge! The "Word up" is Beauty and with a real beauty in the house, this one was not difficult ;-)

I just love these pictures of Naomi, taken last July just before she had a haircut! The title is "Pure Beauty".

I'll be back SOON to show my other layouts! Thanks for looking and Please leave me a comment is you stopped by! :-)
