Really loving the SC kit. I used it to make a layout for a sketch challenge. Played with my mists and some ice cream sticks and tooth picks. 

Encore une page avec le Studio Calico kit. J'ai utilisé des batons de glace et des cure-dents pour créer mon fond. 

And then some news. First of all look at the yummy October kit from the SCRAPBOOKNOOK. It just arrived and I can't wait to get started!!!
Regardez ce qui est arrivé chez moi!!! Mmmmm, j'ai hâte de scrapper avec tout ça!

And then this:

American crafts and Studio Calico are teaming up!! My two favourites.

Studio Calico

I have always LOVED their products and now I have subscribed to their monthly kit and I don't regret it!!!! I love it! Here is my first layout. I found an old photograph of me probably taken about 29 years ago. Did you know I used to be blond!!! Just look at the picture.

J'ai toujours aimé les produits Studio Calico et j'ai décidé de m'abonner à leur kit mensuel. Oui encore un kit mais je ne pouvais plus résister. Voici une première page faite avec le Glee club kit. J'ai utilisé une veille photo de moi qui date d'il y a plus au moins 29 ans. Et oui, j'étais blonde! 

Snif

No, I'm not sad but I have a really bad cold. I haven't been ill at all since January! It must be that one COLD I have each year that really gets me down! It's 23°C outside and I am freezing! Well now that  is said let's talk scrap. Even a cold can't stop me scrapping a bit!!!! I still had some products left over from my September Nook kit and decided to play with Jessy's sketch for the 15-30 September sketch challenge. I used white embossed cardstock as background but I think I've had enough of that. Might move on to something else. And then just look at what the October kit holds in store. Yummy! 

Et oui, j'ai mon rhume de l'année. Il fait beau et je me sens horrible. J'ai quand même trouvé le temps de faire une petite page pour le sketch proposé par Jessy sur le forum du SCRAPBOOKNOOK. 

And look what'll be in the October kit:

American Crafts circles

Yesterday I had my first post on the American Crafts blog. I made a layout and a card using the Daydreams collection which I love because of it's bright and fun summery colours. I was afraid to start scrapping my AC products and felt a little overwhelmed by them. So I just decided to look through the catalogue. And  finally I found my inspiration. The cover of the catalogue is so pretty with clusters of circles and I wanted to do the same. Lots of circles in clusters!

The card was a lot easier. So simple when you've got lovely stickers to work with!

Hier c'était mon premier poste sur American Crafts et voici ma page et carte. 

Supplies: White (71081) - Cardstock, Happy Day Paper (35600) – Daydreams, Sunny Day Paper (35608) – Daydreams, Wishful Day Paper (35610) – Daydreams, Joyful Day Paper (35603) - Daydreams, Friends (42228) – Remarks, Day Dreams Plastic Buttons (85573) – Elements, Smile (42227) – Remarks, Foam Dots (61709) – This to That

A lot of people asked me how I made those embossed circles. It's so easy! With a compass draw a circle on you page. Place an embossing folder underneath and rub over the circle with your bone folder. And voilà! You can use any kinds of shapes. Simple and I find it adds so much texture to a layout! 

Pour faire les cercles embossés rien de plus simple! Dessinez un circle sur votre page. Prenez une plaque à embosser et placez le en dessous du circle. Passez dessus avec un plioir et voilà, le tour est joué.
