Polaroid! Et CROP!

Just un petit message pour partager ce site que je viens de trouver: Rollip! 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:

J'ai trouvé ce site via Scrapastuces, et je sens que je vais bien m'amuser avec!!!

Hier, je suis allée au crop de Padicréa, le journée a été trop chouette!! J'ai fait des ateliers avec Safo, avec Mélanie Lagarde et avec Brigitte de la Compagnie des Elfes, 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!

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!!

St Cirq Lapopie

Another challenge, a layout based on a sketch, which you can find here. 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.

Paper are from Basic Grey.

Today is lazy Sunday, at least that's what I hope it will be! This will involve some scrapping, because I have yet another layout waiting on my table to be finished!! Can't stop anymore. But for now, this is all...

Thanks for looking, and thanks for your comments!

Rainy weekend

It started raining just half an hour before our weekend officially started, so depressing :-( Apparently it will stop raining after the weekend, Tuesday or something. Well, might just be THE opportunity to scrap some more, I have lots of pictures to scrap (we are just after the summer holidays aren't we?) and really feel like scrapping! Here are two layouts I did recently, for challenges.

The first was made for the september challenge on classyscrapper. 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.

The second was made for the sketch challenge on 52 sketches...52 weeks. 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 really cheezy but I quite like the result! Papers are Porcelain from Basic Grey.

Look how both layouts have a hand made "flower" in them, I just tried out this technique and really love how these flowers turn out and obviously match the layout. You might just see a lot more of them in future layouts!

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!

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! :-)

Layouts

Oh 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 ;-)

Well, if the blogger would hurry up oploading my pictures that is.... slow internet connection! Grr.

This first is about my kids making a delicious cake with sand and water, the layout was made for a challenge on classyscrapper.

This second one shows my little Nagawika with his huge smile, this picture is photographically spoken quite bad but I LOVE it!

Well, even writing a little 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!
