Well, I haven't shown everything from last weekend's crop. I really had a ball and love everything I made, which is unusual as I am my WORST critic. Tomorrow will be dedicated to ColorcombosGalore and their next inspiration board. It's a stunning one and I love my layout. 

Je n'ai pas encore tout montrer de la crop en ligne du weekend dernier. J'ai adoré et j'aime ce que j'ai fait ce qui est rare car je suis très dur avec moi-même. Demain sera consacré à ColorCombosGalore avec le nouveau combo et challenge qui est splendide!

I've got loads of layouts just waiting to be shown. Today it's HIP time with my July layouts and mini. I've got lots of scrapping to do so I'll keep it short.

J'ai beaucoup de pages à vous montrer mais aujourd'hui ce sont mes pages et mon mini faits avec le kit de Juillet de HIP2BSQUARE. 

This mini was made using a folding technique I picked up in a French scrapbooking magazine: ESPRIT SCRAPBOOKING. The article was written by Agnès Massina.
L'idée de ce mini vient du Esprit Scrapbooking n°22, article de Agnès Massina.

Scrapbook nook Virtual Crop

So far it has been a great weekend. Oodles of sun, lots of walks and I have been scrapping. Mostly at night or nap time but the creative juices are flowing thanks to the VC crop over at the scrapbooknook. THEME: SHAKESPEARE. And I am having so much fun. I won't be doing all 16 challenges just those that inspire me. (And I should also get started on my AC projects! My sketch book is full, but I dare not cut those pretty papers!) Now just to show you how much fun I am having here the first series of layouts and cards! 

Ce weekend se passe à merveille! Du soleil, des promenandes, des batailles d'eau et du scrap (essentiellement le soir et pendant l'heure du siete!) Ce weekend est aussi la crop virtuelle sur SCRAPBOOKNOOK et je m'amuse! Il y a 16 challenges! Et voici les pages et cartes que j'ai déjà faites.

For this last layout we were asked to lift someone and I chose Anabelle. If you want to see her page click here. 

Well that's that for now. Hope to show you some more tomorrow and then I've got my Hip July layouts lined up. Happy Sunday!

Home decoration

In May I went to the CS Avenue forum crop. My sweet friend grenouillette came up with the most WONDERFUL project. I forgot to blog about it. I love it to bits. Tweeked it a bit to match my taste but the idea is all hers!!! 

Thank you for all you sweet comments about the AC DT. 

En mai c'était la crop du CS Avenue et grenouillette avait proposé un home déco très original que j'ai terminé le jour même mais je ne l'ai pas encore montré. J'adore ce projet qui a une place dans notre salon! 

Encore un grand merci pour vos gentils commentaires!

The most fabulous news!!!!!

Yes, I can finally reveal I made the American Crafts Design Team. I'm thrilled, excited and still think I'm dreaming. The kids thought I was going mad as I was doing a happy dance all day on Saturday. I even asked my husband to pinch me several times. AC is my favourite manufacturer and to be on the DT is a dream come true. And to top it all some scrappy friends are part of the team too. Congrats Pam and Cindy!

Je peux enfin vous révéler que je fais partie de l'équipe créative de American Crafts. Je n'y croyais pas vraiment et quand j'ai vu le mail j'ai sauté de joie. Je me réjouis de travailler avec eux!
