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.

Crate paper LOVE!!!!

The September Scrapbooknook kit is soooooooooo gorgeous. I'm always afraid when I get crate paper because it doesn't seem quite my style but it is!!!!! I made this little mini book using a place mat I found for $0.50. I cut it to size and decorated it. It is simple but I really love it. I want to keep it but I'm going to give it to my sister as it is her daughter on the photos. 

Le kit de septembre de SCRAPBOOKNOOK est sublime!!! J'ai fait un mini tout simple pour ma soeur. J'adore le résultat. 

Scrapbooknook

This week has been really hectic and I haven't had that much time for scrapbooking. Last weekend I did manage to make these cute little note cards for a challenge at the Nook. I decided to go with a pink-blue theme.The September kit is soooo gorgeous, stuffed to the brim with Crate Paper (Random collection). Even got the Farmhouse collection as well, just couldn't resist! It's so easy to use those papers!!

Une semaine très chargée mais j'ai quand même trouvé un peu de temps pour scrapper. Voici des petites cartes faites pour un challenge sur le forum THE SCRAPBOOKNOOK.Ces cartes ont été faites avec le kit de septembre de THE SCRAPBOOKNOOK. Il est sublime, rempli de papiers de la marque CRATE PAPER (collection Random).

If you don't know the nook, go and have a look. It's a wonderful place!
