and just because I love this song. (Dedicated to my loving and caring husband).

One little word.

So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it. 

KRISHNAMURTI.

This year my one little word is LISTEN. I love the concept Ali Edwards introduced and this  time I have decided to take part in her one little word class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. I must say I have only just started the journey with my word but I am loving it already. Here are the first pages of the album.

Cette année je me suis inscrite dans une de classes données par Ali Edwards sur Big Picture Scrapbooking. Il faut choisir un mot qui nous parle, et pendant l'année nous allons travaillé autour de ce mot et faire un album. Voici les premières pages.

More Hip projects

The November Hip2Bsquarescrapbooking kit was fabulous and I loved using it. Here are my other layouts.
Voici les réas faites avec le kit de novembre de Hip2bsquare. J'ai adoré ce kit.

 
This layout was based a pencillines sketch. I did simplify it a lot.

And some cards.

 This one was made using a technique mentioned on several French and Belgian forums.

Happy New Year

And once again it is that time of year when I look back and think, wow that went fast. Before we had our children I remember that I used to get bored. Now I have forgotten what it means to be bored. Days go by so fast and my 4 monsters are growing so fast. I am so glad I have started scrapbooking everyday moments and that I have made so many mini books full of stories. I love looking through them and so do the kids and my husband. 

I have set myself four goals for 2011. I have to be reasonable because I still have to get all my daily chores done, go to work and look after the kids. Here they are:

1. scrapbook all my childhood pictures and journal my stories.

2. exercise more 

3. enjoy simple family moments and photograph them

4. play with the kids.

I would like to thank all those who have left a comment over the year. Each one of them has boosted my confidence. And last but not least I wish you all a Happy New Year. May 2011 be a year full of happiness, laughter, joy and family moments. So to finish off the year some pictures I took today while I was walking with the kids. 

Et voilà. Encore une année vient de se terminer. Une année qui comme les autres est passée trop vite. Je voulais vous remercier pour vos gentils commentaires et je vous souhaite une bonne année 2011, une année qui j'espère sera remplie d'amour et de bonheur. Je vous laisse avec quelques photos prises aujourd'hui.

Hip November kit

I know they haven't been published on the Hip2besquarescrapbooking blog but I am dying to show at least one of my layouts made with the November kit. I really felt inspired and all my layouts are based on clustering. I love them all but here is one of my favourites. The rest will be for later. I have put some sneak peeks.

Une petite page faite avec le kit de novembre de Hip2besquare. Comme elles ne sont pas encore sur le blog je vous montre qu'une. Les autres seront pour plus tard. J'ai adoré ce kit. J'ai quand même mis quelques aperçus.  

And the sneak peeks:
