It is nice to be recognised so when I saw this at twopeas I did feel happy. My Sweet hugs layout is in the top 3. I have to thank PAM as I lifted one of her layouts. The credit goes to you PAM!!!!!!!!!!

J'ai été trop contente de voir ceci aujourd'hui. Une de mes pages dans les top 3 des plus aimés sur TWOPEAS. Je dois remercier PAM car cette page est inspirée par une des siennes.

Here are some layouts I have made but haven't shown yet.

This one is made with the oh so yummy scrapbooknook August kit which is packed with MME lime twist and Jillibean sprouts.

Voici quelques pages que je n'ai pas encore montrées.

Une première faite avec le kit de août du SCRAPBOOKNOOK.

This one I made for a game on CS Avenue.
Et puis celle-ci pour le jeu de l'été sur le CS AVENUE.

Thank you for your lovely comments.
Un grand merci à tout ceux qui me laissent des petits coms.

Have a lovely Sunday.
Je vous souhaite un bon dimanche.

Combo 204

Here is this week's inspirations board at ColorCombosGalore. I was really excited when I say it especially the designer's challenge which was to use a grid. But when I started creating I got stuck. I finally managed to make two layouts which I don't really like but hubby says they are great so I sent them in. 

Voici le combo de cette semaine de chez COMBOCOLORSGALORE. J'ai aimé le combo et le challenge mais j'ai eu difficile de faire une page. J'en ai fait deux mais je ne suis pas très sure! 

And here are my two layouts:
I cut out 6 squares that I placed on my patterned paper which has a layer of gesso on it. I covered up the bottom and top part and added some glimmer mist. I did some FAUX stitching around to squares, added my photo and then put my embellishments to break up the squares. I added blue and brown thread so soften the edges of the squares.

Pour cette page, j'ai découpé 6 carrés que j'ai placés sur mais page préalablement couverte avec du gesso. J'ai caché une partie du haut et du bas de ma page et j'ai ajouté du glimmer. J'ai essayé de placer les embellissements d'une façon à couper les carrés.

Now this is not the kind of layouts I make but I love changing once in a while. I embossed a grid on my blue bazzill using my scoring board and went along the borders with some white chalk to make the grid pop out a bit. I added die cuts and cut them in half using the top half at the top of my page and the other on the bottom. The embossed grid is subtle but it adds a little extra something to look at. Not my favourite layout but my DH LOVES it.

J'ai embossé ma page bleu avec ma planche à embosser et puis avec de la craie je suis passé sur les bords pour les faire ressortir.  J'ai coupé les die cuts en deux pour pouvoir les utiliser en haut et en bas. L'effet embossé est subtile mais intéressant. Mon mari adore cette page. Moi, bof!

Thanks for looking.

Sassafras alphabet challenge

There are some great challenges out there for the moment and they are really inspiring me. This layout I made for the latest challenge on the Sassafras blog. I usually use stamps to create my titles and this challenge just pushed me that little bit further. The challenge is to use at least 3 different alpha's from Sassafras. All products used are Sassafra except the chipboard hearts and the thread. 

I applied a layer of gesso and stuck my thread on to my page while the gesso was still wet. I also added some doodling and I love the way it turned out.

Il y a quelques chouettes défis sur le net pour le moment et sur le blog de Sassafras j'ai trouvé un challenge qui me plaisait. Il faut créer une page avec au moins 3 alphabets différents. Voici ma page. Allez faire un tour sur leur blog et participez!

I just wanted to thank all those who leave such lovely comments. I love reading them and they always make my day!

Encore un merci à ceux qui me laissent des petits mots qui me font du bien à chaque fois!

Hip June layouts

Yep, they are finally on the Hip blog so I can show those I haven't. I really LOVE those kits. So many possibilities. I am mixing English and French more and more on my layouts. I think it's important that I use both. English is my mother tongue and French my husband's (and the kids speak French, understand Dutch and a bit of English). So without further a due: 

This one was inspired by this layout made by the talented PAM. 

Et oui, mes pages sont sur le blog de Hip et donc je peux enfin vous les montrer:

Celle-ci un lift de PAM une scrappeuse de talent.

 And then something different. A layout without photos. I used my Martha Stuart Scoring Board to divide my page. Love that little bit of embossing.

Et oui, une page sans photos!

And are you ready for some colour cause this one is full of it. I used MME lime twist papers and Jillibean Soup products on this one. They go so well together.

Et pour terminer, une page toute colorée.

MME challenge

I had some time on my hands (which is not usual for a Saturday) and decided I would play along with the MME layout challenge. I haven't got any of the new releases so played with the papers I had. I just love adding thread at the moment and it is on almost all of my layouts at the moment. I did tweak the sketch a bit to match my style and I like the way it turned out.

Aujourd'hui j'avais un peu de temps et j'ai décidé de faire le challenge sur le MME blog (My mind's eye). J'adore utiliser des fils à coudre sur mes pages pour le moment et j'en ai encore ajouté.

Here's the sketch and my layout.

All products are MME except the brads, buttons, thread and the Bazzill I used as background. Thanks for looking.
