Caro accro de scrap

Already October... I can't believe it.. where did September go? Little update on my/our situation. Still living at Damien's place, visited around 20 places by now (and I am not counting the numerous cancellations from agents...), we liked 4 of them but they all disappeared before we had a chance... Job wise, I did not manage to secure a MFL position yet, but I worked as a bilingual teaching assistant in a primary school. Little money but better than benefits from the government. For October, I decided to quit chocolate and to scrapbook a little bit every day. In this post, I will keep track of every day. 1st October: * chocolate - 0 * scrapbooking - took out all my cardstocks from Bazzill and opened my 4 volumes of Mexico and tried to fill some page protectors. Finding the right background and papers to match my pictures is always the hardest. Tomorrow I might tackle the pattern papers. 2nd October: * chocolate - 0 * scrapbooking - 0... viewing + diner + mails... life got in the way + wanted to do some digital PL, but my laptop blue screened a few times... 3rd October: * chocolate - * scrapbooking -

Hello !!

Wednesday again, time flies, this is nearly the end of August, which means the end of the summer, school is going to start again soon, if not already for some of you in the US. Here I am again with some digital PL scrapbooking with my Spain album!  Today I am showing you weekend 4 day one, which is Saturday and my best friend came over for 4 days-ish. Unfortunately the weather was not that great...

I went to pick her up at the airport, came back home to put her luggage down and we were off for a really long walk all around town. The Retiro Park with the pond, crystal palace, some fauna and flora, the station Atocha, the museum Prado, back to the old Post Office and up to the Palacio Real. A long and tiring day, with a rewarding diner at the pub down my flat!!

See you Friday for some more digital PL spread!!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I have for you 2 bday cards and a mini album. One of them recent and the other ones a year old but I just realised I never posted them online... It is never too late!!

Two weeks ago it was Damien's birthday, and as usual for the occasion I made him a handmade card! I was really low on inspiration at first but then my head was full of ideas (thanks 2peas for all the inspiration!!).

I decided to scraplift this card:

this is mine:

As you can see it is festive and colourful!!

-------------------------------

Last year for Damien's 28th I organised a surprised bday dinner with all his friend at the restaurant. For the occasion I made a mini album with pictures from everyone and a space for them to sign! I used the collection from Echo Park - Times and Seasons, and I made a coordinated card.

Photos talk for themselves:

it is only a preview, to see all the pages look at the full album clicking HERE

any thoughts?

Hi everyone!

It is Friday digital PL day!! I am about to show you week 4, it was a really basic "boring" week and not much happened, so I only have 5 pictures. I decided to put the pictures in black and white; and to put some colours I choose to use the Honey Edition because it is lovely, punchy and the designs are pretty cool.

I spend all my afternoons after school in the park, doing some essais' correction, it was lovely, the weather as hot, the sun was shinning!! I also started to wear summer clothes and my spirit was up thanks to the sun! During this same week I also went to Uni, to meet a friend and finally I decided to add a screenshot of watching Game of Thrones season 3 !

Hi everyone

Wednesday again, time for some digital PL on my trip to Spain. We are still "weekend 3" and this is now day number 3. We went to visit the PALACIO REAL of Madrid. The royal family does not live here anymore but they use the premises for official receptions. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures inside so I used some images from my dear friend Google!! We also went to eat in a really nice Tapas restaurant.

 

I used Becky Higgings - Rain Edition

 

Palacio Real - Daniela - Walking around

Hi everyone,

I am really sorry I forgot to mention that I was going on holidays for 10 days on my last post. I hope you were not mising me too much... I went with Damien to Marseille to enjoy the sun, the sea and my family! I am already back and it was good (too short, always). Damien is already back at work, and my to do list is giant...

here are a few pics of my holidays

Cette page répond au défi : Le tour du monde, chez Les Scrappeuses. Nous sommes en Italie, c'est l'avant dernière épreuve avant de terminer ce tour du monde magique ! J'ai choisis le Vatican comme choix de ville, et voici la consigne :

et ma page :

Cette page comporte 6 photos, Il n'y a pas de titre car c'est la DP de celle-ci faite il y a un petit bout de temps. J'ai fait une bordure avec de la poudre en or à embosser à chaud en bas et en haut de la page, ainsi que les croix. J'ai mis le papier vert pour faire ressortir les plantes présentes dans l'église et le rouge car il y a de nombreuses touches de rouge dans ces photos. Le Bazzill crème appaise le tout.

et vous avez-vous déjà scrappé une église ?

Hi everyone!

Last week was the CHA summer in Las Vegas. And as usual 2Peas does some great challenges, chats, videos... and on top of those the group of YS (Young Scrappers) always try to do its own activities (I love those girls they are AMAZING and so TALENTED!!). Talking about briefly on chat, I met some of the new garden girls and they seems AMAZING!! Such as Paige Evans, Lilith Eeckels, Lexi Bridges and Marcy Penner.

If you wanna see which challenges they offered at 2Pea click here. I managed to do 5 challenges and some of them twice.

 

Challenge #10 : Ten photos

I started with challenge 10 because when I saw it, I knew this challenge was for me! I love scrapbooking with so many pictures. I did a double LO with an insert. So in total I have 20 pictures. For the insert I used Becky Higgins page protector that she create for Project Life.

 

here is my double LO with the insert:

here are the individual pages + insert

 

On Saturday 27th, Damien banned me from the computer (I was complaining of headaches on evenings lately). So we stayed at home, we were both in the living room/garden. Damien was drawing and reading comics and I was scrapbooking! This banned computer day was actually amazing because I was so productive!! I made in 1 day 2 double LOs which means 4 LOs!!

 

Challenge #3 : Three memorabilias - Maps

I had this big maps of Oaxaca, and I really wanted to use them on my LO. So I decided to have the main focus of my LOs on the memorabilia and because I felt it was empty I decided to add miniatures of the places I went to.

 

Here is my double LO:

Challenge #1 : One colour - Orange

This double LO was really challenging! The page on the left I decided to follow Rachel's challenge which was to do a LO in 20 min but taking a picture every 5 min. I knew I would never make my LO in 20 so I decided to take pictures every 10 min until I was happy with my LO. I scrapped for 1h20 (5 times the allowed time by Rachel...) But I love the result!! The second facing LO came pretty quickly after the 1st one.
