I had a wonderful time designing for Citrus Twist but decided not to reapply. I love working for Altenew and I felt I wasn't able to do both at the same time. I made this layout just before leaving on vacation and completely forgot to share it. I love the bright colours and think they match the goofy photo perfectly. 

The following two layouts I made just for fun. They really are the best layouts because the whole process is completely free. I love making my assignments but there are always constraints to take into account. When I scrapbook for fun I just go with the flow.

I'm currently working on a new blog schedule that will start in September. I hope to have at least one post a week and will be adding a couple of new themed items and challenges.

Thank you for stopping by and if you have anything you'd like to see here just pop it in the comment section.

Happy Scrapping

PRODUCT LIST:

More halves

In my previous post I talked about an article that I had written for Esprit Scrapbooking. The theme was halves and this layout is a second interpretation of it. Here I opted to use half of the page but I divided the page diagonally. I was a bit afraid that there would be too much white space but it looks so pleasing to the eye. I used scraps from older Dear Lizzy lines. I loved those polaroid frames. 

I be back soon to share some DT work. Have a great weekend.

Happy Scrapping.

A favourite of mine

I stopped working for Esprit Scrapbooking a year ago and after 2 years it was hard and I still miss some aspects of it but it was just too much. With the children growing up and needing more help with their school work I just couldn't continue creating every month. It wasn't fun anymore. My last creations for them are some of my favourite and I can finally show them. Here is one which I LOVE. I adore the colours and the simplicity. It is not often I can say that I really love a layout. 

What do you think?

Hearts galore

In scrapbooking there are motifs I love more than others. I have a soft spot for circles and HEARTS. I'd put them on every layout if I could. Today I wanted to share a layout I made using this shape. 

I starte by cutting out a large heart with my cameo and cut out some smaller one. Then I played around with them layering them and filling one in with button and enamel dots. I also added some stitched hearts. They were made with Amy Tangerine stitching templates. I still use these a lot and I think they are such fun to use. 

I loved the blue patterned paper and decided it would be the main colour of the page. I really love the flow of this layout and that photo is so sweet.

Pop by later on this week as I'll be sharing my first layout for Altenew. 

Happy Scrapping.

Hello Love

As promised I'm back with another layout and a video. I wanted it to be simple and focus on the photo of my husband and I. There aren't a lot of photos of us two and those we have are precious and special.

Scrapbook Expo

Paige Evans contacted me some time ago asking if I wanted to be featured on the Scrapbook Expo blog. It was stupid to refuse. My feature went up yesterday. You can check it out HERE.

And this is the layout I made for the feature: 

Publications

Some of you may know but others might not but I work for EspritScrapbooking which is a French Paper Scrapbooking Magazine. I write articles and create projects for them. I have a couple of them to share. I usually forget to share them because we have to wait a year after the publication. Here are I two I made. One using printable papers and the second was for a fall theme. 

 

I'll be back with more magazine projects.

Guest post on Shimelle's blog

I got another opportunity to create a 5 ideas post for Shimelle's blog using her collection which is fabulous. I created 5 projects. Here are a couple of sneaks. You can see  the full projects on Shimelle's blog.(CLICK HERE)

 

 

I'll be back later this week with another project. Have a wonderful weekend.

Esprit Scrapbooking

Happy Sunday everyone. Today I'm going to show a couple of layouts that were published over a year ago in Esprit Scrapbooking. 

This layout was created to showcase SODALICIOUS products. I went with blacks and whites and added some aqua. 

The next two layouts were created to illustrate symmetry. I really enjoyed writing the article about symmetry as it is a design element I use a lot in my layouts. 

Hope you are all having a wonderful day and see you soon.

Cherish

My last DT assignments for American Crafts were on the blog this week and today I'm showing my extra layout for this month. Three years is a long time and AC became part of my routine so not making something all AC will be strange but it does mean I have more time for other hobbies like cooking and singing. I have enrolled myself into the choir at the music school. I am so excited. I used sing in the university choir and also a village choir and since the boys have been born I haven't done any group singing. I have sung at an occasional wedding as soloist but it isn't the same as enjoying music as a group. 

Well here is my very last layout for American Crafts. I went with triangles and kept it simple. See you soon with more projects.

Farewell American Crafts

This week my last layouts for American Crafts went up on the blog. These last three years have been amazing and I wanted to thank AC for this amazing experience. A couple of people have made this experience extremely enjoyable: Paige Evans (http://www.paigeandchris.com/), Tauni from AC and all the DT designers I have met over the years. I hate change and saying goodbye but it was time to move on even if deep down I did want to stay on a little longer. So here are the 4 layouts that were on the blog this week. I have a couple more projects to show tomorrow too.
