I am not in the mood to write alot just wanted to show my first 2 pages of my December daily. I'm keeping up with the journaling and taking pictures but I am putting the pages together when I have time. Teaching has been keeping me very busy at the moment. Have a great week.

Voici les deux premières pages de mon décembre jour après jour.

Material: AliEdwards templates and brushes; Patterned paper: z'etiquettes

December Daily

Brrrrrrrr. Yes, I think winter is here for good. It's freezing cold and snowing. This year I decided to follow Ali Edwards and do a DECEMBER DAILY. Here is a sneak peek of my album. I have already written my journaling for December 1st and 2nd and have chosen my pictures but I won't be printing them until next week. I still have to buy some good quality photo paper. For my dairy I used patterned papers from ZETIQUETTES, ALIEDWARDS templates that I bought at designer digitals and stickers from SEI and another brand (threw away the packaging, silly me.) I love the outcome I hope I will keep up as December is a busy period. Kids' birthdays, Saint Nicolas, exams, Christmas, New Year. AHHHHHHH I am already starting to panic. I'll be back soon.

Voici mon December Daily. Mon journaling et mes photos pour le 1er et 2ème décembre sont faits mais j'attends pour imprimer mes photos. J'adore le résultat. A trés bientôt pour plus de December Daily et d'autres réas.

Just for fun

On Friday night Tweety, hosted a live scrapnight on the CSAvenue forum. Unfortunately I couldn't play along as the kids soccer club had their yearly dinner night and the kids didn't want to miss seeing SAINT NICOLAS. Yes here in Belgium, the children get spoilt on 6 December and the 25th of December is more a family event without presents. Anyway, here's my page for the challenge (which I made toady) and some pictures of the kids with he who shall spoil them again this year.

Une petite page pour le live du 26/11 sur CS Avenue (mais que moi j'ai faite aujourd'hui) et quelques photos de mes loulous avec SAINT NICOLAS.

 

Poor Elouan, he was quite frightened of the strange man with a white beard but I did take a picture.

Hip September and October projects

I really love the kits from Hip2bSquarescrapbooking. They are always packed full of gorgeous papers and layouts. As I often lean towards a clean and simple style I always have lots of stuff left over for more projects. Here is a card I made with the September kit and a mini album. I love this format, an idea from Giniew. 

Un petit mot en français. Voici plusieurs réas faites avec les kits septembre et Octobre de Hip2bsquarescrapbooking. J'adore ces kits. D'abord une carte et un mini (format de Giniew) avec le kit de septembre, et puis une série de réas avec le kit de octobre. Ma préféré (pas du tout CS) est celle en orange avec les papiers déchirés. Merci pour vos gentils commentaires qui me font tellement de plaisir.

 

And then my October layouts. I loved the Halloween related papers and embellishments. I even managed to make a banner.

 The following I just love. Not my normal style but I don't think I have one.

 A simple banner, but I love it. It is hanging in my office/scraproom and I love reading these sayings.

 This double page was based on a sketch by Melanie J. another member of the Hip DT. I love her sketches. And yes, there are 2 pictures of me. I really like these ones.

There are still some more cards to come. I hope to get them done soon. Thanks for looking. 

Forgotten ...

I have lots of layouts to show but as long as they aren't on the Hip2bsquarescrapbooking blog, I can't show you (although I am dying to as there are a few I really like). Anyway, I did find this layout hiding in one of the many files on my computer. So here it is. I love how Elouan is sitting on his daddy's shoulders. All of my boys loved it, I think it's because they get to see the world from a different perspective. Have a lovely Sunday.

J'ai beaucoup de pages à montrer mais quant qu'elles ne sont pas publiées sur le blog de Hip2bsqaurescrapbooking, je ne peux pas. J'ai trouvé cette page cachée dans mes dossiers sur l'ordi et je l'adore, tout simplement parce que j'aime la photo de Elouan et son papa. Tous nos enfants ont aimé aller sur les épaules de papa.

Patterned paper: KESI'ART, October afternoon, 4h37. STAMPS: Artemio,. Stickers: Z'etiquettes, Studio Calico. OTHER: Glimmer mist, stickers ?????, rub-ons????
