A few months back I got published in CARDS magazine. I made a card/money holder using some packaging. I still LOVE the AC CHAP collection so much! The plastic packaging flips open and you can slip in a couple of notes.

And then there is this card I submitted but it wasn't accepted. A thank you card.

And here are few sneaks of what is coming in December.

How things turn out ...

Looking back I realise I have changed a lot. When I met my husband I weighed 26 kg more than I do now and I was very shy and felt really bad about myself. 14 years down the line and I have never felt better. I really owe this all to my other half, my one and only. I really should say it more often but he is awesome. My kids have also given me so much. I feel so much more confident partly because they give me so much love and affection. Scrapbooking has also given me that extra push to finding myself. 2011 was a wonderful year and my resolution for 2012 is to enjoy. Enjoy my work, my family and my hobby. I also want to thank all of you who over the years have left comments which filled me with joy. 

I thank God for all I have and will try to give more to others as well. Just needed to say this! 

I do have some more news and things to show. First the news: 

Encore des nouvelles et plein de choses à vous montrer! Mais tout d'abord je remercie toutes celles qui m'ont laisser un commentaire à un moment donné ou un autre car chaque mot m'a marqué et m'a fait plaisir!

May from Color Conspiracy has asked me to join her DT. I love her collections which are ever so vibrant and fun! It will be a fun year that's for sure. Here are a layout and some cards I made. 

May de Color Conspiracy m'a demandé de faire partie de son équipe créative. J'adore ses collections aux couleurs vives et peps. Merci pour ta confience May! 

For the layout I wanted to use several pictures so I made a mini book on it.  (Did this a year ago but used page protectors instead! See post here.)

And then this: a mini I made with quotes I found on pinterest and that I want to use on my layouts! All products are from AC (except the stamps). I will update the supply list later on this week!  I used some brown paper used to protect scrapbook items from one of my online orders.
Voici un mini avec tout des expressions trouvées que j'aimerais utiliser sur mes pages.

And then a quick and easy, very vibrant card.

Thanks for looking and have a great week!!!!

Happy New Year

And what better way to start 2012 than with a challenge and above all a color combo! 

Colorcombosgalore has been on standby for a while but we're all ready to get cracking again. Now feast your eyes on this :

Et pourquoi ne pas commencer avec un challenge, un combo pour être plus précis! ColorCombosGalore était en standby quelque temps mais on revient! Maintenant tous les combos se trouveront sur le blog: COLORCOMBOSGALORE. Et voici le premier combo de 2012.

What was I saying about yellow and grey. YUMMY. So head over to our COLORCOMBOSGALORE blog (yes, the blog!!!) and play along! N'hésitez pas à nous rejoindre! C'est ici.

This is what I made: 

As a new year means new goals, I decided to make a no photo layout and talk about my goals and one little word for 2012. I used some paper doilies and my Kesi'art dies. Added some mist and love it just like that.

Supplies: American Crafts Chap collection, thickers, Garden Café collection, Kesi'art Dies, Glimmer mist.

  

May 2012 be a year filled with love and creativity! Thanks for stopping by and see you soon.  

CHAP all the way

I really love the CHAP line from American Crafts. The designs are awesome and even if it looks like a collection for boys it's so versatile. Here is a layout I made for "catch me if you can SKETCH" challenge on the C&S Avenue forum. Everything is from the CHAP line. 

Sassafras had a sale some weeks ago and I grabbed one of their boxes. Boy did I get a lot of product for near to nothing! I immediately made a layout. Oh and I nearly forgot, Revlie is organising an awesome event you don't want to miss. Check it out here.

J'adore la collection CHAP de American Crafts. Les motifs sont à tomber et j'adore les couleurs. Voici une petite page faite pour le challenge "Attrape Sketch" sur C&S Avenue. Puis une page toute en SASSAFRAS. Et pour puis ceci. Un evenement à ne pas ratter: REVOLUTIONEVENT organisé par la talentuese Revlie et puis il y aura des grandes scrappeuse et ce n'est pas si loin!
