I recycled a couple of things here: the menu of a Taquería, a business card and a small card that came with a gift I received from France.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai trouvé cette page très facile à remplir grâce à la taille des pochettes. Dans les éléments "recyclés", nous avons: un menu, une carte de visite et une petite étiquette de France.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;right page / page de droite:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IdJo-34bvC8/Tyr9BSuBw_I/AAAAAAAAJhE/D1t3C87jylY/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_right+page.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IdJo-34bvC8/Tyr9BSuBw_I/AAAAAAAAJhE/D1t3C87jylY/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_right+page.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first, the idea of making four 6x6 pages scared me a little but then I thought it would be a great opportunity to use some of the hipstamatic shots I had taken. I used the front page of the map from the Art Institute we went to and cut two squares to balance the two mosaics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au premier &amp;nbsp;coup d'oeil, je me suis dit que remplir quatre pochettes 15x15 ne serait pas très facile et puis cette forme carré m'a sans doute fait penser aux photos Hipstamatics que je voulais utiliser. J'ai donc composé deux mosaiques sous Picasa puis pour les équilibrer, j'ai découpé deux carrés dans le plan du musée que nous avions visité le même jour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;some close-ups / quelques gros plans:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YLvgRWhVjIY/Tyr9DW5AuPI/AAAAAAAAJhM/xL3UpuuXG0Q/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_detail1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YLvgRWhVjIY/Tyr9DW5AuPI/AAAAAAAAJhM/xL3UpuuXG0Q/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_detail1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4vJcFMTwjnY/Tyr9Fw2UFqI/AAAAAAAAJhU/ax978pJ_vFs/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_detail2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4vJcFMTwjnY/Tyr9Fw2UFqI/AAAAAAAAJhU/ax978pJ_vFs/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_detail2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U6OCMBA_SAI/Tyr9Iiby9lI/AAAAAAAAJhc/cPAy-Bjq6EM/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_detail3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U6OCMBA_SAI/Tyr9Iiby9lI/AAAAAAAAJhc/cPAy-Bjq6EM/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_detail3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used some stamps from Kési'Art and a piece of fabric (just like on the cards I had made that week) I also added some journaling in English this time since the journaling on the left page is all in French...&lt;br /&gt;J'ai utilisé des tampons de Kési'Art et un carré de tissu (comme sur les cartes réalisées la même semaine) J'ai ajouté quelques mots en anglais cette fois parce qu'ils sont adressés au mari...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tOq94z_3jJk/Tyr9LUANeFI/AAAAAAAAJhk/Z9wivwO-K6c/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_detail4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tOq94z_3jJk/Tyr9LUANeFI/AAAAAAAAJhk/Z9wivwO-K6c/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_detail4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pyY4Oe6cxJQ/Tyr9N9tg4oI/AAAAAAAAJhs/mUgwJodGPX0/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_detail5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pyY4Oe6cxJQ/Tyr9N9tg4oI/AAAAAAAAJhs/mUgwJodGPX0/s1600/projet2012_WEEK4_detail5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The date stamped played with my nerves there. It didn't ink properly so I thought about making an even bigger mess to pretend the whole thing had been intentional ;-)&lt;br /&gt;Le tampon dateur m'a bien énervé là!

It's a new month, a new gallery at Write. Click. Scrapbook and a new them at Scrap RDV.&lt;br /&gt;First, the theme for the WCS gallery is &lt;a href="http://www.writeclickscrapbook.com/write_click_scrapbook/2012/02/welcome-february.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;"&gt;MUSIC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and when I think of music I think of DD and her love for music and singing! This page came naturally, I chose the 6 x 12 format because I needed a page to go on the back of my other 6 x 12 (Resolutions 2012). This year I have one 12 x 12 binder for all of my pages, whether they're part of the PROJET 2012 or "traditional" scrapbook lay-outs and while I love the various sizes together, I also want to make sure I have a front and back for each page. (maybe the short video says it better ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-b58d1f55d07a4c19" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v22.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Db58d1f55d07a4c19%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330412451%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6128483DFAE1DE2A9BAAF7658A9D659762F687E0.45B53BF1F0001F3EADEFD991AE85526F8704FAF2%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Db58d1f55d07a4c19%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DbiMZDNGynN6zSBS5E7gzRk98RO4&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v22.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Db58d1f55d07a4c19%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330412451%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6128483DFAE1DE2A9BAAF7658A9D659762F687E0.45B53BF1F0001F3EADEFD991AE85526F8704FAF2%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Db58d1f55d07a4c19%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DbiMZDNGynN6zSBS5E7gzRk98RO4&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Qui dit nouveau mois dit nouveautés. Nous avons une nouvelle gallerie de pages à Write. Click. Scrapbook et un nouveau thème chez Scrap RDV.&lt;br /&gt;Tout d'abord, la gallerie de WCS. Le thème est la &lt;a href="http://www.writeclickscrapbook.com/write_click_scrapbook/2012/02/welcome-february.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a2c4c9;"&gt;MUSIQUE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; et j'ai tout de suite pensé à Gallianne qui chante matin et soir depuis toujours, et de plus en plus! La page s'est faite toute seule et le format s'est imposé à moi. C'est la demie-page qui ira au dos de la page (Résolutions 2012). Cette année, je veux tenir un seul album 30x30 dans lequel les pages à pochettes du PROJET 2012 seront de temps à autre entre-coupées d'autres pages, plus "traditionnelles" mais aussi de différents formats. J'aime cette mixité qui, à mon sens, résume bien une année et reflète le mélange des genres. Mon seul soucis en incorporant une page au milieu d'une page double de la semaine c'est qu'elle ait un verso. (la vidéo l'explique mieux que moi  ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aoidduHhWFg/TyjQ1i8LeII/AAAAAAAAJgc/I3UVOL4HaAQ/s1600/alexandrasm_WCS_February_MUSIC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aoidduHhWFg/TyjQ1i8LeII/AAAAAAAAJgc/I3UVOL4HaAQ/s1600/alexandrasm_WCS_February_MUSIC.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Sorry, the light was very poor when I took the pictures]&lt;br /&gt;I used my handy dandy watercolors for the splatters and a Smask Book journaling card form K&amp;amp;Co.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[désolée, le manque de luminosité rend ces photos un peu tristounes]&lt;br /&gt;J'ai &lt;s&gt;encore&lt;/s&gt; utilisé mes vieilles aquarelles pour faire les tâches. La carte de journaling est de K&amp;amp;Co. elle fait partie de ces petits blocs de cartes destinés aux Smash Books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a8-Ctu6dq5A/TyjQ3YedY2I/AAAAAAAAJgk/rErNS6OihwA/s1600/layouts2012_She+Sings_WCS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a8-Ctu6dq5A/TyjQ3YedY2I/AAAAAAAAJgk/rErNS6OihwA/s1600/layouts2012_She+Sings_WCS.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Anyone who knows me also knows that I nuts about tags, especially the "shipping" kind! It's hard not to find one or more on my pages, cards, minis. Well, if you like them too, TAGS are our theme of the month at &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"&gt;Scrap Rendez-Vous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and since February is also the month of Carnavals, we're planning a couple of surprises for you! So be sure to check us out there too! Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3TRwbRd4Uoc/TyjRA8rH0aI/AAAAAAAAJgs/ZreZsWBAjx0/s1600/lest'+play+tag+forme+atg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3TRwbRd4Uoc/TyjRA8rH0aI/AAAAAAAAJgs/ZreZsWBAjx0/s320/lest'+play+tag+forme+atg.jpg" width="160" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ma transition est toute trouvée. Le journaling de ma page est imprimée sur un TAG. Si vous me connaissez un peu, vous avez sans doute remarqué que j'adooore les Tags, surtout ces "shipping tags". Et bien si vous partagez le goût des Tags, je vous invite à nous rejoindre sur le blog &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"&gt;Scrap Rendez-Vous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Nous aurons plaisir à jouer avec ces Tags et à faire quelques surprise, carnaval oblige!

As we are saying goodbye to a rather mild January all the hyacinths I had put on the windowsill on December 12Th are all in bloom. So much so that their fragrance is becoming a little a bit overwhelming. My printer ran out of ink on Saturday so all I can share today is WEEK 3 of the "2012 in 52 Pages" project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Alors que nous disons au revoir à un mois de janvier assez clément pour le Midwest, les jacinthes que j'avais mises sur le bord de la fenêtre de la cuisine ont toutes fleuries. Leur parfum en est presque entêtant! Mon imprimante me fait la tête, comme elle n'a plus de Cyan depuis samedi, elle fait la grève!

Comme d'habitude, à Scrap RDV nous finissons en beauté, avec une invitée carterie de marque: &lt;a href="http://marjodansmabulle.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;Marjo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!

Cette fois j'ajoute un pas à pas pour celles qui seraient intéressées par la technique du gaufrage à chaud ainsi que celle du coloriage de l'image tamponnée avec les encres Distress...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;the sketch / le croquis:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s934RrxKQxQ/TxsyUQa7mUI/AAAAAAAAJa4/XsEwEtNcVyM/s1600/a+sketch+a+card_+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s934RrxKQxQ/TxsyUQa7mUI/AAAAAAAAJa4/XsEwEtNcVyM/s640/a+sketch+a+card_+3.jpg" width="477" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;the card / la carte:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YPZdcORvqrs/TxsyXZbWgQI/AAAAAAAAJbA/OIzagITbOhQ/s1600/cartes2012_BE_stamping_heatemboss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YPZdcORvqrs/TxsyXZbWgQI/AAAAAAAAJbA/OIzagITbOhQ/s1600/cartes2012_BE_stamping_heatemboss.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;TUTORIAL:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3m4sYihcJf0/TxsyaGwcpAI/AAAAAAAAJbI/0qqUbN4qqVI/s1600/Heat+Emboss1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3m4sYihcJf0/TxsyaGwcpAI/AAAAAAAAJbI/0qqUbN4qqVI/s640/Heat+Emboss1.jpg" width="479" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the supplies I used, together with a embossing gun, some Distress inks (at least 2) and a couple of latex make-up wedges.&lt;br /&gt;Voici les fournitures utilisées. Il faut rajouter à cela, quelques encres Distress (au moins deux) un pistolet chauffant, et quelques petites éponges en latex pour le maquillage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_8UeFyPpUv8/Txsyb_f94WI/AAAAAAAAJbQ/Iuz4pCCk6bg/s1600/Heatemboss2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_8UeFyPpUv8/Txsyb_f94WI/AAAAAAAAJbQ/Iuz4pCCk6bg/s640/Heatemboss2.jpg" width="450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once I stamped my image, I spread some embossing powder all over it. (I kept a piece of paper underneath the stamped image to recuperate all of the embossing powder)&lt;br /&gt;Une fois l'image tamponnée, j'ai soupoudré de la poudre à embosser. (en mettant une feuille de brouillon sous la feuille tamponnée on peut aisement récupérer toute la poudre)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lIrnD7HrKIs/TxsydkwscfI/AAAAAAAAJbY/WJYeX45etqs/s1600/heat+emboss3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lIrnD7HrKIs/TxsydkwscfI/AAAAAAAAJbY/WJYeX45etqs/s640/heat+emboss3.jpg" width="426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emboss the image with the embossing gun. Apply circular motions so as not to burn the paper.&lt;br /&gt;Gaufrer l'image avec l'outil chauffant. (Je connais une copine qui a longtemps utilisé le dessus d'un grille pain avant de s'offrir un tel outil, le résultat obtenu était tout aussi bien d'ailleurs amsi surement moins facilement réalisable) Je fais des mouvements circulaires avec cet outil pour éviter de brûler le papier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pFp2L8G-0-s/TxszTRUlVQI/AAAAAAAAJbo/tNbNSv_kWtE/s1600/heat+emboss+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pFp2L8G-0-s/TxszTRUlVQI/AAAAAAAAJbo/tNbNSv_kWtE/s640/heat+emboss+4.jpg" width="504" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The result should be uniform, the paper stays white and only the stamped part of the image becomes embossed. On to the coloring part...&lt;br /&gt;Le résultat doit être uniforme, le papier reste blanc, seule la partie tamponnée est à présent gaufrée. L'image peut-être colorée à présent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-61W7fFVANrw/Txs92t-zPQI/AAAAAAAAJb4/ooToeH5kPEU/s1600/heatemboss5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-61W7fFVANrw/Txs92t-zPQI/AAAAAAAAJb4/ooToeH5kPEU/s640/heatemboss5.jpg" width="426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To create a contrast one needs at least two Distress colors, a light and a darker one. Begin by applying the light color and then the darker one. I start by with the extremities and work my way in.&lt;br /&gt;L'idée étant de créer un dégradé, il vous faut au moins deux nuances différentes d'un même ton (rose et rouge ici mais l'effet est réussi avec d'autres duos comme: vert/jaune ou bien bleu/violet par exemple)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LES2OY8NyTA/TxszW4xpd_I/AAAAAAAAJbw/9AlESdonqDw/s1600/Cartes2012_heatemboss_BE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LES2OY8NyTA/TxszW4xpd_I/AAAAAAAAJbw/9AlESdonqDw/s1600/Cartes2012_heatemboss_BE.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case you are wondering what that "BE" stands for, it's a friend of mine's little word for 2012!&lt;br /&gt;Au cas où vous vous demanderiez "mais pourquoi ce BE", c'est tout simplement le "petit mot" d'une amie pour l'année 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You! and a special Thanks to Agata who got me this awesome background stamp from HA for my birthday ;-)&lt;br /&gt;Merci! et un chaleureux "merci" à Agata qui a eu la gentillesse de m'offrir ce super tampon de fond pour mon anniversaire ;-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-4407044983900970841?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/4407044983900970841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=4407044983900970841&amp;isPopup=true' title='28 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/4407044983900970841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/4407044983900970841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2012/01/sketch-card-and-tutorial-for-heat.html' title='a Sketch &amp; a Card - and a TUTORIAL for Heat Embossing'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s934RrxKQxQ/TxsyUQa7mUI/AAAAAAAAJa4/XsEwEtNcVyM/s72-c/a+sketch+a+card_+3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>28</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-8125684441677756116</id><published>2012-01-20T15:13:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-20T16:11:47.087-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='currents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='6083km apart'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hipstamatic'/><title type='text'>6083km apart (34) - Happy 101st B-Day!</title><content type='html'>Hello Dear Friends!

Je l'ai eue au téléphone, elle m'a dit "tu sais, on ne le voit pas venir!" très triste en apprenant qu'encore une fois un soldat afghan a tué et blessé plusieurs soldats français!&lt;br /&gt;le temps: froid avec une neige particulière, celle que l'on appelle ici "l'effet lac" et non je ne vous donnerai pas plus d'explications que ça parce que je suis nulle pour expliquer ce genre de choses!&lt;br /&gt;j'ai besoin: de faire du repassage!&lt;br /&gt;je me réjouis: d'avoir l'électricité. Ce temps me fait penser à la tempête de l'année dernière, les cables s'étaient rompus, nous étions restés sans chauffage pendant deux jours...&lt;br /&gt;je me demande: ce que nous ferons pour le dîner, pas trop envie de cuisiner ce soir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qd8HepsVav4/TxnNWaG2kCI/AAAAAAAAJao/OkRqTKoVyCc/s1600/IMG_1738.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qd8HepsVav4/TxnNWaG2kCI/AAAAAAAAJao/OkRqTKoVyCc/s400/IMG_1738.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Birthday Solange! My Godmother, who is also my Great Aunt is turning 101 today!&lt;br /&gt;She lives in a nursing home in the heart of Burgundy: Nuits St. Georges, which is also where my Dad was born. It warms my heart to think that she blew her candles with her four "baby" sisters by her side. When I edited this picture of her taken last Spring, I noticed she was still wearing her wedding band. I never knew my great uncle, she lost him many many years ago but she still talks about him with so much love. I had her on the phone earlier and I told her how impressed I was, "101!" I said to which she replied: "You know, one doesn't see "it" coming!"...&lt;br /&gt;so I leave you on that note for now.&lt;br /&gt;If one cannot see "it" coming, "one" can try to mindfully see it happening ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;Merci!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-8125684441677756116?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/8125684441677756116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=8125684441677756116&amp;isPopup=true' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/8125684441677756116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/8125684441677756116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2012/01/6083km-apart-34-happy-101st-b-day.html' title='6083km apart (34) - Happy 101st B-Day!'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ipR_2JbDd8/TxnM9_Ryd7I/AAAAAAAAJag/DiZnD1vlKng/s72-c/W3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-611327910647424071</id><published>2012-01-19T13:00:00.006-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-19T13:08:39.663-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='printed paper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='watercolor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carterie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aquarelle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='splatter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diecut paper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cards. cartes'/><title type='text'>Cards: Watercolor Splatters &amp; Diecuts</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IJmD3f88GS4/Txhkk_m9ozI/AAAAAAAAJaA/KXtp5c5bHB0/s1600/Jan19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IJmD3f88GS4/Txhkk_m9ozI/AAAAAAAAJaA/KXtp5c5bHB0/s320/Jan19.jpg" width="212" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello Dear Friends! I've been playing with my old watercolors lately and I'd like to share two cards that combine paint splatters with more delicate motifs cut in pieces of old printed paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Depuis quelques jours, j'ai envie de m'amuser avec mes vieilles aquarelles! Aujourd'hui, je vous propose des cartes qui associent tâches et motifs plus élégants, découpés dans de vieilles pages d'un livre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;★★★&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;I used two old brushes to do the splatters. I didn't use watercolor paper because I only made a couple of splatters. There's no right of wrong here, obviously but do be careful not to use too much water especially if you plan on using traditional cardstock. Once the paint was completely dry, I added the printed motif and to finish it off: some sparkle!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai utilisé deux vieux pinceaux pour faire les tâches. Je n'ai pas utilisé de papier aquarelle, car je voulais garder le côté lisse et léger d'un papier blanc traditionnel. Si vous mouillez trop votre papier, il gondelera, voilà la seule chose à ne pas oublier!

I hope you had a nice week-end. I really enjoyed watching the Golden Globes and I was happy to see the people I was rooting for receive one or several awards. (Jean Dujardin for L'Artist, Scorsese for Hugo, Clooney for the Descendants to name a few...) and speaking about "enjoyment", I enjoyed the project 2011 so much last year that I've decided to start a "2012 in 52 Pages" album!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour les Scropines! J'espère que vous avez passé un bon week-end. Nous avons regardé les Golden Globes hier soir et j'étais bien contente de voir nos poulains remporter un Globe (trop génial pour Jean Dujardin, Scorsese pour Hugo, Clooney pour son incroyable rôle dans les Descendants...) Et dans les choses que j'aime faire, il y a le projet de l'année dernière, le "2011 en 52 Pages". Je l'ai tellement aimé ce projet que j'ai décidé de tenter à nouveau l'expérience en 2012!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lzC8tg3q20U/TxSOdbZ2bpI/AAAAAAAAJXk/JK6vxj1blNI/s1600/album.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lzC8tg3q20U/TxSOdbZ2bpI/AAAAAAAAJXk/JK6vxj1blNI/s1600/album.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;WEEK1 / SEMAINE1:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tYoOCzrdAKQ/TxSOgqTmLvI/AAAAAAAAJXs/FXA3HOT3BlY/s1600/2012+in+52+pages_+WEEK1_gros+plan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tYoOCzrdAKQ/TxSOgqTmLvI/AAAAAAAAJXs/FXA3HOT3BlY/s1600/2012+in+52+pages_+WEEK1_gros+plan.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;a close-up / un gros plan:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pJ2nPXNoNFU/TxSOjHSyPZI/AAAAAAAAJX0/uWiHSXBv3bE/s1600/2012+in+52+pages_week1_grosplan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pJ2nPXNoNFU/TxSOjHSyPZI/AAAAAAAAJX0/uWiHSXBv3bE/s1600/2012+in+52+pages_week1_grosplan.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;WEEK2 / SEMAINE2:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1V9wm6h6mYY/TxSOmfFT7QI/AAAAAAAAJX8/rHr_cDNT1PE/s1600/2012+in+52+pages_+WEEK2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1V9wm6h6mYY/TxSOmfFT7QI/AAAAAAAAJX8/rHr_cDNT1PE/s1600/2012+in+52+pages_+WEEK2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;a close-up / un gros plan:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h_lSALBUZZk/TxSOpY4jakI/AAAAAAAAJYE/HhM93-IjjRw/s1600/2012+in+52+pages_WEEK2_gros+plan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h_lSALBUZZk/TxSOpY4jakI/AAAAAAAAJYE/HhM93-IjjRw/s1600/2012+in+52+pages_WEEK2_gros+plan.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;As some of you may know, I'm already doing a project Life with Pascale and Virginie called PROJET 2012 and which can be seen on the blog Scrap RDV.

Thank you so much for your sweet comments and birthday wishes! They mean the world to me! I had a fantastic day and I'll share some pictures soon but first I wanted to participate in Mouni's call for culinary pictures.

Merci infiniment pour vos si gentils commentaires et vos souhaits, ils rendent la vie encore plus douce! J'ai passé une superbe journée et je partagerai quelques photos très prochainement mais aujourd'hui je tenais à participer à l'appel de Mouni.

I have a late start this morning, we went to see Sherlock Holmes last night, a real waste of time if you ask me! Anyway, this year, I'd like to get back into the habit of publishing a sketch &amp;amp; a card every week-end. So here is the first one...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour les Scropines! J'ai du retard ce matin, nous sommes allés voir Sherlock Holmes hier soir au cinéma, un belle perte de temps! Ceci dit, Robert Downey Jr a vraiment de beaux cheveux... Bref, cette année, j'aimerais reprendre l'habitude de partager un croquis &amp;amp; une carte chaque week-end donc voici la première de 2012...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;the sketch / le croquis:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Feel free to copy/paste it if you feel so inclined.

I used color pencils with baby oil, using &lt;a href="http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/08/card-gamsol-tips-on-coloring.html"&gt;THIS METHOD&lt;/a&gt;. The cloud is also a die from PTI. The flourish is a die from Tim Holtz for Sizzix (Elegant Flourishes) I cut it in a piece of self-adhesive glitter foam (found at Michael's). It's a card that is simple enough to make for all the princesses in your life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le château est une découpe et tampon de Papertrey Ink. J'ai utilisé la méthode &lt;a href="http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/08/card-gamsol-tips-on-coloring.html"&gt;CRAYON DE COULEURS + HUILE DE BB&lt;/a&gt; pour colorier le château. Les nuages sont aussi des découpes de PTI et la vague est une découpe de Tim Holtz (Elegant Florishes). Pour donner une petit côté "féerique" à la carte, j'ai découpé cette vague dans un morceau de mousse pailleté et adhésive. Cette carte est assez simple pour être déclinée dans toutes les couleurs préférées des princesses que vous connaissez!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jS-cwoNQ4ww/TwkHEsMTALI/AAAAAAAAJUU/1wm3vdzwMJU/s1600/carte+chateau_2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jS-cwoNQ4ww/TwkHEsMTALI/AAAAAAAAJUU/1wm3vdzwMJU/s1600/carte+chateau_2012.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You! &lt;br /&gt;Merci!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-3467012621862562880?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/3467012621862562880/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=3467012621862562880&amp;isPopup=true' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/3467012621862562880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/3467012621862562880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2012/01/sketch-card-papertrey-ink.html' title='a Sketch &amp; a Card - Papertrey Ink'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9C1Yy_T1Wpk/TwnmsOLIsxI/AAAAAAAAJUc/JCIr46HcVg4/s72-c/carte%2526sketch_chateau_2012.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-547702312926224779</id><published>2012-01-06T23:48:00.006-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T23:54:39.069-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='~ videos ~'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='currents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='6083km apart'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='virginie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><title type='text'>6083km apart (32)</title><content type='html'>Hello Dear Friends!

I really like it their on my ancestor's planter. It's looking outside and protecting two lead toy soldiers I found while gardening years ago and a hand painted egg my Dad got me a while back. /&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;"&gt;J'ai trouvé cet ange grâce à Marie-Pierre et à ses merveilleuses chroniques de l'Avent. Je l'aime beaucoup là, posé sur la jardinière d'un aieul. Il regarde dehors et protège deux soldats en plomb que j'avais trouvés en jardinant et un oeuf peint à la main que Papa m'a offert il y a quelques années.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;u&gt;En ce moment:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;j'écoute: la chanson de Jon Troast (voir vidéo plus bas)&lt;br /&gt;je lis: bon, Virginie, on l'enlève cette catégorie et puis c'est tout.&lt;br /&gt;je mange: nous avons partagé une pizza géante avec les filles ce soir et puis tiré les Rois à la maison.&lt;br /&gt;je bois: rien, c'est l'heure du dodo...&lt;br /&gt;je porte: pantalon yoga et gilet gris.&lt;br /&gt;je me sens: heureuse de tout l'amour dans ma vie mais triste d'en voir une partie s'éloigner du nid demain matin...&lt;br /&gt;le temps: très doux! On se serait cru en avril aujourd'hui.&lt;br /&gt;j'ai besoin: de laisser les choses se faire...&lt;br /&gt;je me réjouis: de passer la journée de mardi avec Mark. Il a quelques surprises dans son sac on dirait ;-)&lt;br /&gt;je me demande: si demain sera chaud avec le planning d'enfer que l'on a, je ferais mieux de filer au lit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_eubI5C__9E" width="480"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-547702312926224779?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/547702312926224779/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=547702312926224779&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/547702312926224779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/547702312926224779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2012/01/6083km-apart-32.html' title='6083km apart (32)'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1FAoIH_dqXg/TwfTYAdQx8I/AAAAAAAAJUE/YEfOzP_Y7lI/s72-c/ange.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-4022284338241378477</id><published>2012-01-05T14:06:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-05T14:14:33.138-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mini album'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tutorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mini Noel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cosmo Cricket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mini cartes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mini book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christmas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Noel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='minibook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Holidays'/><title type='text'>TUTORIAL: a Mini for Holiday Cards - Mini Cartes de Voeux</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CLTl0gYzUbw/TwX3pedxWfI/AAAAAAAAJSc/a3vtgDUKyvk/s1600/mini_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CLTl0gYzUbw/TwX3pedxWfI/AAAAAAAAJSc/a3vtgDUKyvk/s200/mini_7.jpg" width="132" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello Dear Friends! Are you like me? You love to receive Holiday cards but don't really know how to store/keep them? After all, they all come in different sizes, formats some come very early in the season while others arrive at the end of January...We need a way to gather them all, a system which is both relatively attractive and definitely functional! Well, I came up with a very easy structure which anyone can reproduce...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Etes-vous comme moi? Vous adorez recevoir des cartes de voeux mais euh...comment fait-on pour les garder toutes et les consulter? Après tout, elles sont toutes de tailles différentes, certaines arrivent dès le début du mois de décembre (lorsque je parle de "cartes de voeux" je veux aussi parler des cartes de Noel) alors que d'autres se présenteront la dernière semaine de janvier. Il nous faut donc quelque chose d'attrayant avec un système pratique. J'ai conçu une structure facile et résistante dont la couverture est en carton et tissu...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p2XHgL5TzG8/TwX3tO4ziyI/AAAAAAAAJSk/MvxZogUd1Bw/s1600/sapin+blanc_mini_Noel_Xmas_2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p2XHgL5TzG8/TwX3tO4ziyI/AAAAAAAAJSk/MvxZogUd1Bw/s1600/sapin+blanc_mini_Noel_Xmas_2011.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;TUTO:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sp-6ka7Zwa4/TwX3vUpEqoI/AAAAAAAAJSs/NyFsDw38ioI/s1600/mini_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sp-6ka7Zwa4/TwX3vUpEqoI/AAAAAAAAJSs/NyFsDw38ioI/s1600/mini_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. First, gather all of your cards in a neat pile, to evaluate the size of your structure. Mine is 6x9 inches (closed).&lt;br /&gt;1. Rassemblez vos cartes, faites une belle pile. Vous allez ainsi pouvoir vous rendre compte de la taille de votre structure. La mienne fait: 15,5 x 23cm (fermée).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cWvillrNetM/TwX30Inr96I/AAAAAAAAJS0/jHQojGjK7o0/s1600/mini_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cWvillrNetM/TwX30Inr96I/AAAAAAAAJS0/jHQojGjK7o0/s1600/mini_2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. I cut a cardbox to have two very sturdy pieces for the front and back covers. I used a nice neutral cotton fabric to cover the front and back covers. The interiors is covered with Cosmo Cricket pink snowmen cardstock.&lt;br /&gt;2. J'ai coupé un carton pour avoir deux morceaux très épais et j'ai utilisé un joli coton neutre pour recouvrir l'extérieur des couvertures. L'intérieur a un papier Cosmo Cricket rose pâle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_ghbGKDj5OY/TwX31nXwoiI/AAAAAAAAJS8/OMo78RQXX0Q/s1600/mini_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_ghbGKDj5OY/TwX31nXwoiI/AAAAAAAAJS8/OMo78RQXX0Q/s1600/mini_3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. To adhere the fabric I tend to use the spray and double-sided carpet tape. To see how I do that, please refer to &lt;a href="http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/11/tutorial-for-xmas-card-with-fabric.html"&gt; TUTORIAL for Xmas Card with Fabric &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Pour coller le tissu, j'aime me servir de cette adhésif en bombe ainsi que du scotch double face pour moquette. Pour voir comment recouvrir le carton de tissu, merci de consulter: &lt;a href="http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/11/tutorial-for-xmas-card-with-fabric.html"&gt; TUTORIAL for Xmas Card with Fabric &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HoYG77fBuzc/TwX34OWSm2I/AAAAAAAAJTE/9bTjIEtNOs8/s1600/mini_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HoYG77fBuzc/TwX34OWSm2I/AAAAAAAAJTE/9bTjIEtNOs8/s1600/mini_4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I made a hole in the top center of both covers.&lt;br /&gt;4. J'ai fait un trou en haut des couvertures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ocm3SEzU06U/TwX36orN_MI/AAAAAAAAJTM/_dsHzu5oo28/s1600/mini_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ocm3SEzU06U/TwX36orN_MI/AAAAAAAAJTM/_dsHzu5oo28/s1600/mini_5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;5. and added an eyelet.&lt;br /&gt;5. et j'ai ajouté un oeillet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;To decorate the cover:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Pour décorer la couverture:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dFxvHixPf7g/TwX39zmdIYI/AAAAAAAAJTU/39Msnlu1CnY/s1600/mini_Noel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dFxvHixPf7g/TwX39zmdIYI/AAAAAAAAJTU/39Msnlu1CnY/s1600/mini_Noel.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's the fun part as far as I'm concerned. You can create anything you want keeping in mind the fact that it probably shouldn't be too bulky to last over time...&lt;br /&gt;La partie la plus amusante et créative, je trouve. On peut s'en donner à coeur joie mais il faut savoir que plus il y aura d'épaisseur moins il sera facile à ranger et à conserver en bon état.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I-K8F9ahGto/TwX4XCAgNQI/AAAAAAAAJTg/R7UmhHjQXtc/s1600/mini_6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I-K8F9ahGto/TwX4XCAgNQI/AAAAAAAAJTg/R7UmhHjQXtc/s1600/mini_6.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. I secured the pleats on a piece of torn fabric and glued different elements with a glue gun.&lt;br /&gt;6. J'ai fait quelques points pour faire tenir les plis d'un morceau de tissu puis j'ai collé diffèrents élèments avec le pistolet à colle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4kq65TnhI_o/TwX4YR2sTGI/AAAAAAAAJTo/jMRWBGuf3wU/s1600/mini_Noel7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4kq65TnhI_o/TwX4YR2sTGI/AAAAAAAAJTo/jMRWBGuf3wU/s1600/mini_Noel7.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Each card is mounted on a 1/2 inch strip of cardstock so no card was damaged during the procedure!&lt;br /&gt;7.

There's something about the combo: Champagne - Red - Kraft/Ivory that screams "festivities" and "good luck" to me, a perfect mix to celebrate the new year!&amp;nbsp;Today, I'd like to share with you a New Year's card I made using the Holiday gift box of a bottle of Champagne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Pour moi, la palette: Champagne - Rouge - Kraft/Ivoire est synonyme de festivités, de chance, un accord parfait pour célébrer le passage d'une année à l'autre.&amp;nbsp;Aujourd'hui, j'aimerais partager avec vous une carte de voeux réalisées à partir du carton d'emballage d'une bouteille de Champagne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hycN47GSyzw/TwOhTC1wAfI/AAAAAAAAJR4/HMNEKD1sxtI/s1600/carte2012_ange2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hycN47GSyzw/TwOhTC1wAfI/AAAAAAAAJR4/HMNEKD1sxtI/s1600/carte2012_ange2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make the big tag, I used a die from Papertrey Ink. The gold cardstock was quite thick but the dies from PTI are of such good quality that it worked! Next step, I wanted to tone down all the gold and introduce a more "contemporary" touch so I thought of using some printed paper. Next up, the angel. I love this angel which is also a die and a stamp from PTI. (I used a "sepia" ink for the stamp).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iVCjk6CQLS0/TwOhVUwtDBI/AAAAAAAAJSA/R0ZW6mWGVdI/s1600/carte2012_Champagne.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iVCjk6CQLS0/TwOhVUwtDBI/AAAAAAAAJSA/R0ZW6mWGVdI/s1600/carte2012_Champagne.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai utilisé une découpe de Papertrey Ink pour réaliser la grande étiquette dorée. Le carton était très épais mais ces découpes sont de bonne qualité et j'ai utilisé la Revolution de Quickutz, avec elle on peut "forcer" sans craindre de briser la plaque comme avec l'Epic par exemple! Ensuite, j'ai voulu "casser" le doré de l'étiquette en introduisant un peu de texte. J'aime beaucoup cet ange qui est aussi de Papertrey Ink . J'ai utilisé une encre sépia pour le tampon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-87LzUhx4bks/TwOhdv9p9qI/AAAAAAAAJSQ/8InkcK0GAlI/s1600/carte2012_ange1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-87LzUhx4bks/TwOhdv9p9qI/AAAAAAAAJSQ/8InkcK0GAlI/s1600/carte2012_ange1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I used a big tag (a die from Tim Holtz) and folded the bottom part and machine stitched the edges to create a pocket. The "2012" was made using self-adhesive glitter foam and Quickutz alphabet (Chemistry).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai utilisé une découpe Tim Holtz pour faire la grande étiquette en kraft en rabattant le bas et en cousant les cotés, elle fait office de poche. Le "2012" a été découpé dans un morceau de mousse rouge pailleté (alphabet Chemistry de Quickutz)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Yd3nVnzUKU0/TwOhbd9eHVI/AAAAAAAAJSI/5Y-qBJtk_hk/s1600/carte2012_voeux_champagne.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Yd3nVnzUKU0/TwOhbd9eHVI/AAAAAAAAJSI/5Y-qBJtk_hk/s1600/carte2012_voeux_champagne.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You!

It's a good feeling to have finished two of the three DDs but I still have quite a bit of work with DD#3 and I've completely let go of the album "2011 in 52 pages" so I really must get a move on! I'm giving myself until the Epiphany to finish both...completely unrealistic since our three children are still on vacation and Gabrielle will be returning to University on Saturday. Let's see if January 10Th is a more realistic deadline...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Ça fait du bien d'avoir fini deux dédés sur trois mais j'ai encore pas mal de boulot pour finir le 3ème, et quant à l'album 52, alors là...n'en parlons même pas! Je me donne jusqu'à l'Epiphanie pour terminer ces deux projets même si c'est utopiste entre les enfants qui sont toujours en vacances et le départ de Gabrielle samedi matin, ça va faire court. On va dire pour le 10 janvier...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Here are the last pages of DD#1:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Voici le sdernières pages de Dédé1:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_kwSVeW94Pk/TwHwglIjOEI/AAAAAAAAJRM/skdE4vFKtNc/s1600/DD1_lastpages_2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_kwSVeW94Pk/TwHwglIjOEI/AAAAAAAAJRM/skdE4vFKtNc/s1600/DD1_lastpages_2011.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of such an album, I think it is important to include a personal note. &amp;nbsp;I made this last page to say how much I had enjoyed documenting the Advent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7XT34ypVhwM/TwHwkUbYkUI/AAAAAAAAJRU/7_p7y4k86dE/s1600/DD1_lastpage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7XT34ypVhwM/TwHwkUbYkUI/AAAAAAAAJRU/7_p7y4k86dE/s1600/DD1_lastpage.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A la fin d'un album, je pense qu'il est important de le "signer".

Avant de vous montrer les dernières pages de Dédé2, je tenais à vous recommander le dernier film de Martin Scorsese: Hugo Cabret. Nous l'avons enfin vu en 3D et toute la famille est sortie de la salle sous le charme!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"&gt;★★★&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I was the host at &lt;a href="http://www.writeclickscrapbook.com/write_click_scrapbook/2011/12/december-dailies-an-update.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #999999;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;Write.Click.Scrapbook&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and I shared an update on the three December Dailies I have undertaken this month.&amp;nbsp;DD#2 is finished.

Pourtant, en ce qui concerne les cartes de voeux, je dois avouer ne pas avoir atteint l'overdose, non, pas du tout, si je me laissais aller, j'en ferais encore bien jusqu'à l'Epiphanie!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--XGz37TEgK8/Tvn-kF8zQwI/AAAAAAAAJOQ/_XGqiT0J47c/s1600/carte_Noel2011_MERRY_vert_vintage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--XGz37TEgK8/Tvn-kF8zQwI/AAAAAAAAJOQ/_XGqiT0J47c/s1600/carte_Noel2011_MERRY_vert_vintage.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I'm sharing two "Clean&amp;amp;Simple" cards using the same concept:&lt;br /&gt;a kraft cardstock base, a piece of green Bazzill paper, a zigzag machine stitch on either side of the green cardstock, a vintage image and a MERRY sentiment (PTI die cut in self-adhesive glitter foam) and a tag for the second card.&lt;br /&gt;It's amazing how the inclination of a card can affect its overall mood. With the horizontal card up above, one might get the sense of serenity, continuity. With the vertical card, one gets a more energetic vibe, lines are going up, giving a lift to the sentiment. That feeling is reinforced by the movement created by the piece of string.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/12/xmas-giveaway-bracelet-cutey.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt; Please don't forget there is an on-going giveaway&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r0ctSXepEW0/Tvn-n5rkQ5I/AAAAAAAAJOY/2-V5R6_bSvw/s1600/carte_Noel2011_tag_merry_vintage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r0ctSXepEW0/Tvn-n5rkQ5I/AAAAAAAAJOY/2-V5R6_bSvw/s1600/carte_Noel2011_tag_merry_vintage.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd'hui, je vous propose deux cartes de style "Clean&amp;amp;Simple" basées sur le même concept:&lt;br /&gt;une base en papier kraft, un morceau de papier Bazzill vert sapin avec une couture zigzag de chaque côté, une image suranée, une découpe pailletée MERRY (de Papertrey Ink) et une grande étiquette pour la deuxième carte.&lt;br /&gt;Il est amusant de constater combien l'orientation d'une carte influence l'atmosphère qui s'en dégage. Par exemple, sur la première carte, tout est à l'horizontal, on a l'impression d'une continuité, l'enfant semble marcher derrière le mot. Avec la deuxième carte en revanche, les lignes ascendantes donne de l'énergie, elle semble comme plus "tonique" que la première. Ce sentiment est accentué par le mouvement crée par le lien de l'étiquette.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #990000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/12/xmas-giveaway-bracelet-cutey.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;N'oubliez pas qu'il y a un bracelet à gagner cette semaine!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-3707894801992337182?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/3707894801992337182/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=3707894801992337182&amp;isPopup=true' title='23 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/3707894801992337182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/3707894801992337182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/12/merry-c-cards-2-takes.html' title='&quot;Merry&quot; C&amp;S Cards - 2 Takes'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--XGz37TEgK8/Tvn-kF8zQwI/AAAAAAAAJOQ/_XGqiT0J47c/s72-c/carte_Noel2011_MERRY_vert_vintage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>23</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-6708674923914761794</id><published>2011-12-25T15:06:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T17:18:35.080-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bracelet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CUTEY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='giveaway'/><title type='text'>a Xmas Giveaway! - Bracelet Cutey</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #990000;"&gt;MERRY Christmas dear Friends! Joyeux Noël chères Scropines!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was approached a while ago by a British Company called "CUTEY". They asked me if I'd like to review their bracelets and kindly sent me two pieces.&lt;br /&gt;La compagnie anglaise CUTEY m'a contactée pour me demander si je voulais bien recevoir deux bracelets et partager mon opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BgEBaqLhGxM/TveAN3L-TaI/AAAAAAAAJNs/2RZhdH27J6E/s1600/Giveaway_Bracelet_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BgEBaqLhGxM/TveAN3L-TaI/AAAAAAAAJNs/2RZhdH27J6E/s1600/Giveaway_Bracelet_2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agreed of course and found them so cute that I'm keeping one and giving the other one to a lucky reader.&lt;br /&gt;J'ai accepté biensûr, et comme je les trouve adorables, j'ai pensé en garder un et en donner un autre à l'une d'entre-vous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZpTGuYim0Lg/TveAQeed9FI/AAAAAAAAJN0/aH6l84mC4vc/s1600/giveaway_bracelet_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZpTGuYim0Lg/TveAQeed9FI/AAAAAAAAJN0/aH6l84mC4vc/s1600/giveaway_bracelet_3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;These bracelets remind me the charm bracelets from Pandora. They're not as luxurious of course but I was impressed with their weight which feels really nice around the wrist.&lt;br /&gt;Ces bracelets me font penser à ceux de Pandora (marque danoise très connue sur le continent nord-américain). Les bracelets CUTEY ne sont pas aussi luxieux bien entendu mais j'étais agréablement surprise par leur poids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dRuKkVA7Bsg/Tvd_vv-l6-I/AAAAAAAAJNg/DIW0LGgY2ZA/s1600/giveaway_bracelet_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dRuKkVA7Bsg/Tvd_vv-l6-I/AAAAAAAAJNg/DIW0LGgY2ZA/s1600/giveaway_bracelet_4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favorite bead is that red one and I wish they had more charms like that one.&lt;br /&gt;Ma perle préférée est la grande rouge alors que le petit coeur rose bien que mignon fait trop "petite fille" et bon marché.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aE4l4aUW3zc/TveASniXPsI/AAAAAAAAJN8/jO6_B2Vuezg/s1600/Giveaway_bracelet_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aE4l4aUW3zc/TveASniXPsI/AAAAAAAAJN8/jO6_B2Vuezg/s1600/Giveaway_bracelet_5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think these bracelets are adorable. I would see them more for a 12 to 25 year old than for myself but I would totally wear mine with a simple black sweater, no ring and bright nail polish for instance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je trouve ces bracelets plus appropriés pour une jeune fille/femme de 12 à 25 ans que pour moi et pourtant avec un simple pull noir, pas de bague et un joli vernis rouge sur des ongles courts, il pourrait etre parfait!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ulBtjWIX_R4/TveAUBg1xjI/AAAAAAAAJOE/XdmtKyX0F3k/s1600/Giveaway_Noel2011_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ulBtjWIX_R4/TveAUBg1xjI/AAAAAAAAJOE/XdmtKyX0F3k/s1600/Giveaway_Noel2011_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;For a chance to win this bracelet, please be or become a Follower (right column), leave a (or several comments, please no more than 100 comments per person!) below this post and come back to see who won on January 1st!

Je me suis crue fine en lançant ce petit jeu, c'était sans compter sur les deux &lt;b&gt;"Folles-Dingues"&lt;/b&gt; de service, Miss Marinette et Gaelle! Si j'ai bien compris, elles auront au moins fait connaissance sur mon blog, c'est déjà ça, et puis elles m'auront bien fait rire aussi. Je vais donc récompenser une des deux parce que si elles m'ont fait ça pour un magazine je n'ose imaginer ce qu'elles me feront pour le bijou de la semaine prochaine (je en plaisante meme pas!) Donc avec 3.657.872 points, c'est &lt;b&gt;Marinette&lt;/b&gt; qui gagne le dernier ES. Envoie-moi vite ton adresse postale ma Belle!

I don't know if you are familiar with the story, the Elf on the Shelf. The Elf goes back to the North pole at night and when he comes back to his adoptive home in the morning he's always hidding in a different spot to play a trick on the children in the house. When Lily saw the elf had moved she asked me if he had moved on his own. I like playing magic but I don't want to lie so when she insisted and asked "did YOU move him?" I said "yes". Lily started to cry. She was so disappointed she said I had ruined it for her. Of course I tried telling her that we make our own magic but she didn't buy into it one bit!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Il y a quelques jours j'ai commandé ce petit lutin rétro. Il a toute une histoire dont celle de partir chaque soir pour regagner le Pole Nord pour revenir dans sa maison d'adoption le matin mais jamais au meme endroit. Lorsque Gallianne a vu qu'il n'était pas là où elle l'avait laissé, elle m'a demandée si je l'avais déplacé. J'ai bien essayé de lui répondre que l'on faisait sa propre magie, elle a insisté "oui, mais est-ce que c'est TOI?" et lorsque je lui ai dit "oui" elle a éclaté en sanglots!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;u&gt;En ce moment:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;j'écoute: Mark regarde le film The Road to Perdition.&lt;br /&gt;je lis: pas grand'chose en ce moment&lt;br /&gt;je mange: on a failli avoir des poulets rotis ce soir et puis certain se sont décommandés et d'autres ont scrappé..donc ça s'est terminé par des restes et des toasts.&lt;br /&gt;je bois: rien pour l'instant mais je me réjouis de la tasse de thé que je vais avoir sous peu.&lt;br /&gt;je porte: un pantalon noir et gilet anthracite.&lt;br /&gt;je me sens: heureuse et chanceuse.&lt;br /&gt;le temps: autour des -2, 0C, nous attendons de la neige cette nuit&lt;br /&gt;j'ai besoin: d'écrire des mails, cartes de voeux, éditer des photos...&lt;br /&gt;je me réjouis: d'aller au cinéma avec Mark&lt;br /&gt;je me demande: quand je prendrai enfin le temps de faire les biscuits de Noel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;★★★&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pascale, Virginie and I have enjoyed recording every week of 2011 through our "2011 in 52 pages" project. We're planning on continuing a similar experience in 2012 and sharing it with our readers on our blog &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/2011/12/day-16-lancement-du-pl.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;Scrap Rendez-Vous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; but this time it'll be more like Becky Higgins' Project Life. We hope you'll join us and/or pop in from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F0UqIv4XEGg/TuwQUuQACoI/AAAAAAAAJIg/BvaQeDiJokg/s1600/Projet+2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="162" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F0UqIv4XEGg/TuwQUuQACoI/AAAAAAAAJIg/BvaQeDiJokg/s320/Projet+2012.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour Virginie, Pascale et moi, le fait d'avoir scrappé chaque semaine de 2011 avec le projet "2011 en 52 pages". Nous poursuivons l'aventure tout en l'adaptant sur une aventure similaire au projet de Becky Higgins (Project Life). Pascale a écrit une introduction sur &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/2011/12/day-16-lancement-du-pl.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt;Scrap Rendez-Vous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; aujourd'hui.

We're half-way through December and I haven't shared a mini Holiday book I made for &lt;a href="http://desboutsdenous.canalblog.com/"&gt;a dear friend of mine&lt;/a&gt;. It's not a December Daily per say, it has a two-ring binder so pages can be added, taken off or switched. I bought the fabric at Hancock's in November and I like that clean Scandinavian look. Let's look at some pictures...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Nous sommes déjà à la mi-décembre et je ne vous ai toujours pas montré le mini fait pour &lt;a href="http://desboutsdenous.canalblog.com/"&gt;une amie&lt;/a&gt; il y a de cela quelques semaines. Il ne s'agit pas forcèment d'un December Daily mais avec son système de fermeture classeur, on peut facilement ajouter, enlever ou changer de places les pages. J'avais trouvé ce tissu juste à coté de chez moi en novembre. j'aime son coté super "clean" scandinave mais passons aux photos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qn9BB2KB_K8/TupN3hCkb-I/AAAAAAAAJHg/cihk1yeSAxo/s1600/DDIsa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qn9BB2KB_K8/TupN3hCkb-I/AAAAAAAAJHg/cihk1yeSAxo/s1600/DDIsa.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rI3sw-UTkbw/TupN54-R7HI/AAAAAAAAJHo/UV8quuizzD8/s1600/DDIsa2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rI3sw-UTkbw/TupN54-R7HI/AAAAAAAAJHo/UV8quuizzD8/s1600/DDIsa2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o6KadBSYdIY/TupN9JYWWUI/AAAAAAAAJHw/N0-dlm-aaNo/s1600/DDIsa3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o6KadBSYdIY/TupN9JYWWUI/AAAAAAAAJHw/N0-dlm-aaNo/s1600/DDIsa3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zxFyxnWczys/TupN_re4n7I/AAAAAAAAJH4/MffLHukwZAE/s1600/DDIsa4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zxFyxnWczys/TupN_re4n7I/AAAAAAAAJH4/MffLHukwZAE/s1600/DDIsa4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W3P-StmHMLE/TupOBmWLBRI/AAAAAAAAJIA/fIPf6gpEe80/s1600/DDIsa5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W3P-StmHMLE/TupOBmWLBRI/AAAAAAAAJIA/fIPf6gpEe80/s1600/DDIsa5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And since we are talking about recording the Holidays one way or another I'd like to share some exciting news. I was contacted by Laura who is a coordinator for the Hipstamatic App. If you follow me you know how dingo loco I am for that application right? Well, Laura asked me if she could feature some of the work I have done with the hipstamatic pictures! So if you'd like to see it for yourself, a picture of my DD#2 is on their site: &lt;a href="http://behindhipstaland.tumblr.com/post/14176782106/this-beautiful-mini-album-was-hand-crafted-by"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt; Behind Hipstaland&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;How cool is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et puisque nous parlons minis et Noel, j'aimerais partager avec vous une petite nouvelle bien sympa. Laura, coordinatrice de l'application Hipstamatic de l'iPhone m'a contactée il y a quelques jours. Elle m'a dit qu'elle aimait bien ce que je faisais avec le scrap et les photos hipstamatic et m'a demandée si elle pouvait montrer quelques unes de mes réas sur le site Hiptamatic. Alors si vous voulez aller voir et meme y laisser un petit mot ;-) c'est là: &lt;a href="http://behindhipstaland.tumblr.com/post/14176782106/this-beautiful-mini-album-was-hand-crafted-by"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"&gt; Behind Hipstaland&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Trop cool non?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-1105108109850908468?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/1105108109850908468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=1105108109850908468&amp;isPopup=true' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/1105108109850908468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/1105108109850908468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/12/holiday-mini-album-de-noel.html' title='a Holiday Mini - album de Noel'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qn9BB2KB_K8/TupN3hCkb-I/AAAAAAAAJHg/cihk1yeSAxo/s72-c/DDIsa.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-2771319727891741991</id><published>2011-12-13T23:19:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-12-13T23:19:00.867-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carterie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hero Arts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christmas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Noel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cards. cartes'/><title type='text'>Hero Arts Cards - Christmas Tree</title><content type='html'>Hello Dear Friends!

My gift has arrived! It came from Canada, nice wrapped in a happy smile! Our Gabrielle is back for the Holidays and having our three children home safe and sound is simply the best feeling in the world! We had our first dinner all together in 6 months!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Mon cadeau est arrivé! Par Avion, tout droit du Canada, avec un joli sourire...notre Gabrielle est de retour et le fait d'avoir tous ses enfants en bonne santé sous un meme toit est la meilleure des sensations!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;WEEK49/SEMAINE49:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a great week with lots of singing, decorating and celebrating - we had our first snow and Lily did not like our tree at first because she wanted us to use our "old" decorations. For the first time ever, I wanted to change and have a tree adorned with silver, white and antique gold. Lily said it wasn't colorful enough, it wasn't traditional enough and proceeded to cry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous avons eu une excellente semaine, pleine de chants, de célébrations et de décorations. Cette année, j'avais vraiment envie de changer la déco du sapin, je le souhaitais couvert d'argent, de blanc et de vieil or. &amp;nbsp; Miss Lily n'a pas trop apprécié, elle a trouvé qu'il n'avait pas assez de couleurs et qu'il n'était pas "traditionnel" puis à éclater en sanglots!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j8jMXtdoibo/Tub2t17COyI/AAAAAAAAJHA/hrObRJ87DGk/s1600/WEEK49%2528blog%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j8jMXtdoibo/Tub2t17COyI/AAAAAAAAJHA/hrObRJ87DGk/s640/WEEK49%2528blog%2529.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-2198639328834132780?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/2198639328834132780/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=2198639328834132780&amp;isPopup=true' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/2198639328834132780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/2198639328834132780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/12/week49s-photocollage-home-for-holidays.html' title='WEEK49&apos;s photocollage - Home for the Holidays'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eWm28msbtNU/Tub263lohOI/AAAAAAAAJHI/wKT_JXNtHrc/s72-c/asm_gabrielle.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-1064431743225500489</id><published>2011-12-11T23:39:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2011-12-11T23:43:48.312-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Binder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December Daily'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DD'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mini book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christmas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scrap RDV'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DD2'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hipstamatic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='virginie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mini'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lost and Found'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Mind&apos;s Eye'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Noel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tim Holtz'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Fabric Binder w.

As you may know, I'm keeping three DDs this year: a 6"post bound album with a fabric cover and a two page spread for each day (you can see the latest pages posted &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/2011/12/december-daily-alexandra.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;), a cigar box with 25 folded cards and this one: DD#2, a red fabric covered binder whose structure is also homemade. For this one I have decided to use ONLY Hipstamatic pictures taken with my iPhone and printed at home (each shot is:1 1/2 "). I made all the pages ahead of time and used the number tags &lt;a href="http://scrapacaribou.over-blog.com/"&gt;Virginie&lt;/a&gt; and I created for &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/"&gt;Scrap RDV&lt;/a&gt;. I'm also writing the journaling in English for this one so that hubby, if he were so inclined as to open it one day, would understand everything! Enough nonsense, let's look at the pages for the first week...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines et merci pour votre enthousiasme concernant mes December Dailies!&lt;br /&gt;Comme vous le savez peut-etre, cette année j'ai préparé et je tiens 3 dédés (une pure folie je vous le dis tout de suite!) Le 1er est en tissus rouge, fait 6 pouces et marche sur un système de vis, une page double pour chaque jour (si vous voulez en voir un exemple, c'est &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/2011/12/december-daily-alexandra.html"&gt;ICI&lt;/a&gt;)Le DD3 est la boite à cigares et il faudra que je vous raconte comment je l'ai eue cette boite! (non Maud, je n'ai pas fumé pour avoir la boite!) et le DD2 dont la structure est aussi "homemade", couverture en pilou rouge, coins et système de fermeture classeur Tim Holtz. Pour ce DD2, toutes les pages ont été préparées à l'avance en utilisant les étiquettes que &lt;a href="http://scrapacaribou.over-blog.com/"&gt;Virginie&lt;/a&gt; et moi avions concues pour &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/"&gt;Scrap RDV&lt;/a&gt;. Le journaling est en anglais, au cas où, sait-on jamais, dans un moment d'égarement total, DH le consulterait, il comprendrait TOUT! Enfin, pour ce qui est des photos, j'ai choisi de n'utiliser que des Hipstamatics. A présent, je vous propose de regarder les pages de la première semaine de DD2...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;DAY1/Jée1:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L0t7y511qPM/TuWMXAdp3sI/AAAAAAAAJGY/1pRRnfzF-xw/s1600/DD2_Day1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L0t7y511qPM/TuWMXAdp3sI/AAAAAAAAJGY/1pRRnfzF-xw/s1600/DD2_Day1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Day2&amp;amp;3/Jée2&amp;amp;3:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-atGZXJ6ibDo/TuWMbYg6FwI/AAAAAAAAJGg/Ulcw3pM-zg8/s1600/DD2_Day2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-atGZXJ6ibDo/TuWMbYg6FwI/AAAAAAAAJGg/Ulcw3pM-zg8/s1600/DD2_Day2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;DAY4&amp;amp;5/Jée4&amp;amp;5:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QuOHhRYKeFY/TuWMePzwu9I/AAAAAAAAJGo/da2eqMddGVU/s1600/DD2_Day4%252C5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QuOHhRYKeFY/TuWMePzwu9I/AAAAAAAAJGo/da2eqMddGVU/s1600/DD2_Day4%252C5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;inside the envelope/à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nwk3C4jkyzA/TuWMhaBI9SI/AAAAAAAAJGw/uBpIjNXsy0s/s1600/DD2_Day5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Nwk3C4jkyzA/TuWMhaBI9SI/AAAAAAAAJGw/uBpIjNXsy0s/s1600/DD2_Day5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;DAY6&amp;amp;7/Jée6&amp;amp;7:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0Ru-8PoP2OM/TuWMkVqKc-I/AAAAAAAAJG4/bjO5VaCD1gE/s1600/DD2_Day6%252C7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0Ru-8PoP2OM/TuWMkVqKc-I/AAAAAAAAJG4/bjO5VaCD1gE/s1600/DD2_Day6%252C7.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You!

On each collage, the image up above shows the card closed with Avital's journaling card while the bottom one shows it opened. For this DD, I've also decided to use instant photos whenever possible...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai préparé 7 collages, un par jour, du 1er au 7 décembre. Sur chaque collage, la photo du haut représente la carte fermée avec la carte d'Avital alors que celle du bas, la carte résumant la dite journée, est ouverte. Pour ce dédé, j'ai aussi choisi d'utiliser des pola. le plus souvent possible...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ha5_84VLwmc/TuJWqhMZurI/AAAAAAAAJEA/FV17Wl2-sKM/s1600/DD3_DAY1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

How is your December going thus far? Are you surviving the whirlwind this period of the year can be? I was laughing with Virginie a few hours ago telling her that I had jut realized that the more time I spend being up to date with my DDs, the less interesting their contents are! Who knew, right? We have shared our first pages at &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/2011/12/day-7.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d9ead3;"&gt;Scrap RDV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and I'm looking forward to sharing a lot more here but before, if journaling your December is something you find interesting, two ladies from Poland: Miraq and Ibisek have created &lt;a href="http://journal-your-december.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f4cccc;"&gt;a blog&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and asked several designers from all around to contribute. I'm part of that adventure too and love to see how different and yet similar our daily lives can be...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Comment se passe votre mois de décembre jusqu'à présent? Vous arrivez à maintenir la tete hors de l'eau? Je riais avec Virginie toute à l'heure car j'en étais arrivée à la brillantissime conclusion que plus on passe de temps à remplir son (ses) dédé(s) moins son contenu est intéressant! Nous avons partagé nos premières pages sur &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/2011/12/day-7.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d9ead3;"&gt;Scrap RDV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; et il me tarde de vous montrer les suivantes mais avant, si le fait de documenter ce joli mois de décembre vous tient à coeur, je vous invite à découvrir &lt;a href="http://journal-your-december.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f4cccc;"&gt;le blog&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;de deux polonaises: Ibisek et Miraq. Elles ont invité de nombreuses scrapeuses à participer à cette nouvelle aventure et publient quotidiennement un billet sur un thème particulier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Here is a card I made using PTI dies and stamps:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Voici une carte faite avec les découpes et tampons de Papertrey Ink:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pR6Kqw-KtHM/TuAZiavCYaI/AAAAAAAAJDY/zJrxNMEazBM/s1600/carte_Noel_Xmas_stamping_PTI-vert-branche.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pR6Kqw-KtHM/TuAZiavCYaI/AAAAAAAAJDY/zJrxNMEazBM/s1600/carte_Noel_Xmas_stamping_PTI-vert-branche.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-7334344150386764006?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/7334344150386764006/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=7334344150386764006&amp;isPopup=true' title='26 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/7334344150386764006'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/7334344150386764006'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-cheer-xmas-card.html' title='Christmas Cheer - a Xmas Card'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W8yFp9Njz5U/TuAgBw4NlzI/AAAAAAAAJDg/Q5c4sHQ-K1Y/s72-c/gorka4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>26</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-1227862293573283238</id><published>2011-12-06T12:36:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2011-12-13T00:52:40.013-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ATC call'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ATC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Elodie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mosaique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Avital'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mosaic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photo collage'/><title type='text'>WEEK48's photocollage - ATCs: Avital&amp;Elodie</title><content type='html'>Hello dear Friends!

Je prends des notes heureusement, et le fait de passer la semaine en revue m'aide aussi à ne pas oublier ce qui s'est passé...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;WEEK48/SEMAINE48:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zrCSdynzJkY/Tt5UcpMxZuI/AAAAAAAAJCI/o4ntxa4gu9o/s1600/WEEK48%2528blog%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zrCSdynzJkY/Tt5UcpMxZuI/AAAAAAAAJCI/o4ntxa4gu9o/s640/WEEK48%2528blog%2529.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;an unexpected visit to the dentist - more DDs were prepared and started - Keelan has sold quite a few paintings, this week-end he did a Bob Marley on a brocade background that I particularly liked - I helped at the school during a field trip - there was a lot of wind last Tuesday - we went to the Renegade Art Fair and to Saint Michael's - Miss Lily wrote a book report and is very excited about Christmas being around the corner - (not on the pictures: despite the long commute, Gabrielle Rose enjoyed her first internship at a school in Montréal)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ne visite chez le dentiste - des DD étaient finis et commencés - Keelan continue de vendre ses toiles depuis le Marché d'Automne du Lycée, ce w-e il en a fait une que j'aime particulièrement: Bob Marley sur un fond texturé avec brocades bordeaux - vents violents mardi dernier - j'étais de sortie avec les CE2 - nous sommes allés au Renegade Art Fair et à St. Michael - G.Lily a du faire une fiche de lecture et est très contente d'avoir enfin commencé l'Avent - (pas sur la mosaique: Gabrielle Rose est très heureuse de son premier stage dans le monde de l'éducation)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;★★★&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AH9jRJCid5A/Tt5a_kme-7I/AAAAAAAAJCw/Nspfow-E4fQ/s1600/ATC%252Bcall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AH9jRJCid5A/Tt5a_kme-7I/AAAAAAAAJCw/Nspfow-E4fQ/s1600/ATC%252Bcall.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm very fortunate to say that I have two new ATCs for &lt;a href="http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/09/friendship-6-x-6-lo-atc-call.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt; my on-going ATC CALL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

Un grand merci à &lt;a href="http://www.creativityprompt.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;Avital&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ainsi qu'à &lt;a href="http://toutsimplementcequejaime.wordpress.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;Elodie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, I must show you how my dear Avital spoiled me! She sent me all kinds of homemade goodies, I couldn't believe it! One is a great agenda for 2012, you can learn more about that fabulous project by visiting &lt;a href="http://www.creativityprompt.com/"&gt;Avital's blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tout d'abord, je dois vous montrer combien Avital m'a gatée. Elle a réalisé tout plein de cadeaux faits-mains, l'un d'entre eux étant un agenda pour 2012. Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur ce projet, je vous invite à consulter &lt;a href="http://www.creativityprompt.com/"&gt;son blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T1GsjsyxNDQ/Tt5UecLOLlI/AAAAAAAAJCQ/3B2Mk5cF6tQ/s1600/ATC_Avital.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T1GsjsyxNDQ/Tt5UecLOLlI/AAAAAAAAJCQ/3B2Mk5cF6tQ/s640/ATC_Avital.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should have taken a close-up of her beautiful ATC. I really like Avital's mix of patterns and that bold black flower really pops!&lt;br /&gt;J'aurais du faire un gros plan sur sa carte ATC. J'aime la façon qu'Avital a de mélanger les imprimés, sa fleur noire n'en ressort que davantage!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;❆❆❆&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://toutsimplementcequejaime.wordpress.com/"&gt;Elodie&lt;/a&gt; chose to coordinate her card with her ATC or vice-versa! I really like her palette and she takes tearing to a whole new level! A wonderful combo of texture here as well, with a metallic pin and some hemp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://toutsimplementcequejaime.wordpress.com/"&gt;Elodie&lt;/a&gt; a choisi d'assortir sa carte à son ATC, à moins que ça ne soit le contraire. J'aime sa palette, très pure et fraiche ainsi que son jeu de matières. Elodie fait des merveilles avec ses déchirures!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aGJmLX-zfqw/Tt5UgxI95xI/AAAAAAAAJCY/v6lJpP4j4iU/s1600/ATC_Elodie2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aGJmLX-zfqw/Tt5UgxI95xI/AAAAAAAAJCY/v6lJpP4j4iU/s640/ATC_Elodie2.jpg" width="426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elodie also had a brillant way of including her ATC into the design of her card:&lt;br /&gt;Elodie a eu la brillante idée de faire tenir son ATC par la ficelle de sa carte:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XU9yTgahi40/Tt5UjF0Jv9I/AAAAAAAAJCg/cxWoPvKGVD8/s1600/Elodie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XU9yTgahi40/Tt5UjF0Jv9I/AAAAAAAAJCg/cxWoPvKGVD8/s640/Elodie.jpg" width="426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Thank you!!

What is hidding in this old cigar box...hmm...could it be...DD#3? Yes it is! This has to be the easiest DD in the world! Thanks to&lt;a href="http://www.creativityprompt.com/"&gt; Avital's wonderful journaling cards available for free on her blog&lt;/a&gt;, 25 pieces of "old" cardstock and all kinds of embellishments, the DD is a joy to make and fill out (and no worries about its binding or thickness!)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Mais...que vois-je? une vieille boite à cigares, du papier...s'agirait-il de Dédé3? Et oui, le voici, le voilà, le plus facile des dédés. Grace aux magnifiques cartes de &lt;a href="http://www.creativityprompt.com/"&gt;mon Amie Avital&lt;/a&gt;, 25 morceaux de "vieux" papiers et tout plein de décos récup. ou faites mains pour la plupart, ce DD est aussi sympa à préparer que facile à remplir (avec en plus aucun soucis d'épaisseur!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dYtvkMbnuuQ/Ttxjsn4FLcI/AAAAAAAAJBU/VUpnsIU3ODk/s1600/DD3_AVITAL_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dYtvkMbnuuQ/Ttxjsn4FLcI/AAAAAAAAJBU/VUpnsIU3ODk/s1600/DD3_AVITAL_2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started by downloading Avital's cards and chose a palette of muted Holiday colors accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;J'ai commencé par télécharger les cartes d'Avital puis j'ai choisi des papiers qui reprenaient la meme palette de couleurs que ces dernières.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CmN1MufSlQk/Ttxjv6lxMHI/AAAAAAAAJBc/r-vvt4WujFM/s1600/DD3_Avital_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CmN1MufSlQk/Ttxjv6lxMHI/AAAAAAAAJBc/r-vvt4WujFM/s1600/DD3_Avital_3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then to create a unity between all the folded papers, I splashed them with some black nail polish.&lt;br /&gt;Puis pour créer une unité entre tous ces papiers, j'ai fait des taches de vernis noir sur l'extérieur de chacune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NxWlCSIBWhU/Ttxjzlkf8BI/AAAAAAAAJBk/JKzYtzfki6M/s1600/DD3_Avital4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NxWlCSIBWhU/Ttxjzlkf8BI/AAAAAAAAJBk/JKzYtzfki6M/s1600/DD3_Avital4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then it was time for the real fun to begin. I assorted all of my embellies on the kitchen table and went to work...&lt;br /&gt;Après avoir disposé toutes les décorations sur la table de la cuisine, j'ai pu entamer la partie la plus créative: la décoration de chaque carte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nVKq-oWiVFI/Ttxj3TqwrsI/AAAAAAAAJBs/-RPvS6_oqXM/s1600/DD3_Avital_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nVKq-oWiVFI/Ttxj3TqwrsI/AAAAAAAAJBs/-RPvS6_oqXM/s1600/DD3_Avital_7.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the picture right above, is an example of day.&lt;br /&gt;Sur la photo d'en haut, on peut voir un exemple de carte pour une journée.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--jGldTPyoDA/TtxkJ0pihfI/AAAAAAAAJB0/XlcmrbFp-PA/s1600/DD3_Avital_2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--jGldTPyoDA/TtxkJ0pihfI/AAAAAAAAJB0/XlcmrbFp-PA/s1600/DD3_Avital_2011.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I can't wait to share the first pages of these various DDs!

The talented &lt;a href="http://cococricketsmama.typepad.com/my_weblog/"&gt;Danielle&lt;/a&gt; from the blog &lt;a href="http://useyourtype.blogspot.com//"&gt; Use Your Type &lt;/a&gt; has asked me to join the DT. Each month, the DT suggests a prompt to its readers and this month it's "THE BEST GIFT EVER", the A-team has already posted their takes on the subject, the B-team, the one I'm in, will follow very soon. The best part of this adventure is that I'll get to share it with a very special someone...hmmm...no, I won't say anymore...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je suis très heureuse de rejoindre la DT de &lt;a href="http://useyourtype.blogspot.com//"&gt; Use Your type&lt;/a&gt;. la talentueuse &lt;a href="http://cococricketsmama.typepad.com/my_weblog/"&gt;Danielle&lt;/a&gt; m'a demandée de faire partie de l'équipe B. Le concept de ce blog est simple: chaque mois, la DT lance un nouveau sujet qui est ensuite illustré par deux équipes de scrapeuses. Ce mois ci, le sujet est : "Votre plus beau cadeau" pour moi il est évident......je finis ma page qui sera visible sur le blog Use Your Type à la mi-décembre. Je finis juste en disant que cette aventure est d'autant plus belle qu'elle est partagée avec une etre cher....mais là j'en ai trop dit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_637997675"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_637997676"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-734016100866009735?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/734016100866009735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=734016100866009735&amp;isPopup=true' title='25 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/734016100866009735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/734016100866009735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/12/retro-santa-card-new-dt.html' title='a Retro Santa Card - a new D.T'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3PL1LHRol00/TtpVWPjcYSI/AAAAAAAAJAY/8nLcGRhjSxM/s72-c/carteNoel_SantaClaus_hipstamatic.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>25</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-3291201532030832286</id><published>2011-12-01T23:52:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2011-12-02T21:53:33.868-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='currents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='6083km apart'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='virginie'/><title type='text'>6083 Km APART (27)</title><content type='html'>Hello Dear Friends!

Have I ever told you how crazy I am about December Dailies? I usually make two each December because I like to try new format, new ways to record our Advent. Well, this year, I'm not making two DDs but 3! I know, I told you, I'm a little cuckoo! The first version of DD2011 is a 6 in. post album, the cover is also made of red fabric, I made it a while back and if you'd like to see what it looks like, you can click &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/2011/11/alexandras-6-december-daily-structure.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salut les Scropines! Je vous ai déjà dit que j'étais une grande dingo des dédés? les December Dailies, vous savez ces minis que l'on prépare pour immortaliser chaque jour de l'Avent. J'en ai souvent fait un, voir deux et bien cette année, ce n'est pas 1, pas 2 mais 3 DDs que je prépare! Pourquoi? je vous l'ai dit je suis dingo, j'aime les papiers, les minis, le quotidien, faire mes propres structures, en avoir un avec beaucoup de journaling, un autre avec une seule photo par jour...bref, la version No.1, la version ultra sage qui sera dédié à une chronique détaillée (c'est-à-dire une mosaique et une page de journaling par jour) est faite depuis un moment. Il s'agit d'un album à vis de 6 pouces avec couverture en tissu (comme le vert chartreuse de l'année dernière pour celles qui suivent!) Pour le voir ou le revoir, c'est &lt;a href="http://scraprendezvous.blogspot.com/2011/11/alexandras-6-december-daily-structure.html"&gt;ICI&lt;/a&gt;. Aujourd'hui, je vous présente DD2:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;DD2011#2&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6n05liBvRfA/Ttb5z3R_bpI/AAAAAAAAI_4/hgAeqCPE5Uc/s1600/DD2011_classeur+rouge_couverture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6n05liBvRfA/Ttb5z3R_bpI/AAAAAAAAI_4/hgAeqCPE5Uc/s1600/DD2011_classeur+rouge_couverture.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used heavy cardboard, a Tim Holtz binder mechanism and metal corners, some very soft red fabric and one of my all-time favorite Christmas collection from Lost&amp;amp;Found (My Mind's Eye). Closed, it measures: 4 x 8 inches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai utilisé du carton, une fermeture classeur ainsi que des coins en métal de Tim Holtz, du pilou rouge, et une de mes collections préférées: Lost&amp;amp;Found de My Mind's Eye. Fermé, ce DD mesure: 10,5 sur 20,5cm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6nBQENePBO0/Ttb56gSWH0I/AAAAAAAAJAI/TK5aSd87x4E/s1600/DD2011_classeur+rouge_collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6nBQENePBO0/Ttb56gSWH0I/AAAAAAAAJAI/TK5aSd87x4E/s1600/DD2011_classeur+rouge_collage.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;If you want to hear something even crazier, as soon as I finished taking these pictures today, I realized that if I were to continue devoting a page a day, my album would be way too thick! So, guess what I had to do? Yep! I re-arranged all the pages! Now, it's 2 days per page (front and back) So only page one is still exactly the same way(picture below).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Et vous voulez connaitre un truc encore plus fou? Je venais juste de terminer de prendre ces photos (ça faisait 5 jours que j'attendais un rayon de soleil) que je me suis rendue compte du problème de l'éapisseur des pages! Au 15 décembre, le classeur affichait complet, donc qu'ai-je fait? Bongo, à part la page 1, j'ai du reprendre toutes les pages. A présent, c'est 2 jours par page (un recto=un jour/un verso=un autre jour) nah! Seule la page1 est identique.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;PAGE1&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a_kuLcwaKTA/Ttb53dmscYI/AAAAAAAAJAA/hIQ8sbEuIw0/s1600/DD2011_classeur+rouge_1erepage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a_kuLcwaKTA/Ttb53dmscYI/AAAAAAAAJAA/hIQ8sbEuIw0/s1600/DD2011_classeur+rouge_1erepage.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You very much for visiting and your feedback!

Le texte qui est imprimé sur une étiquette peut etre tiré...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tVCbhcOMYl0/TtB3qkRlboI/AAAAAAAAI-Y/3CgXd7B4BYw/s1600/WEEK40+%2528detail%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tVCbhcOMYl0/TtB3qkRlboI/AAAAAAAAI-Y/3CgXd7B4BYw/s1600/WEEK40+%2528detail%2529.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your visit! &lt;br /&gt;Merci pour votre visite!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-3491140937073228948?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/3491140937073228948/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=3491140937073228948&amp;isPopup=true' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/3491140937073228948'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/3491140937073228948'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/11/6083-km-apart-26-week40.html' title='6083 Km APART (26) &amp; WEEK40'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IOv0NkNfZk4/TtB5O6vW_oI/AAAAAAAAI-g/UKC0nR_zu4k/s72-c/Lily.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-3320647439193777886</id><published>2011-11-24T00:16:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2011-11-24T00:19:49.295-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Montréal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gabrielle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='6 x 6 L.O'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='friendship'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lost and Found'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Color Room'/><title type='text'>The Color Room - Palette # 83 and a Happy Thanksgiving!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--wIenl-WqvA/Ts2V81kdoUI/AAAAAAAAI9Q/-4ZwIj1-3Dc/s1600/Thanksgiving2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--wIenl-WqvA/Ts2V81kdoUI/AAAAAAAAI9Q/-4ZwIj1-3Dc/s200/Thanksgiving2011.jpg" width="133" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello Dear Friends! The turkey is being brined, the cranberries are cooling as, the table is set, it's time to hit the pause button and post a page done a few days ago for The Color Room. I couldn't pass this palette, whether in scrapbooking or home decor I just love to play with ochre!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! La dinde est préparée en salaison jusqu'à demain matin, les airelles et leur sirop refroidissent, la table est dressée, il est temps de faire une petite pause pour partager une page réalisée il y a déjà plusieurs jours pour la DT The Color Room. Je ne pouvais pas passer les teintes d'ochre de cette palette car je les aime et les retrouve aussi bien à la maison que dans le scrap...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--J5Q0Qzx7dk/Ts3X9TO-7NI/AAAAAAAAI-I/L64FDtYcsbY/s1600/83Fam.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="532" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--J5Q0Qzx7dk/Ts3X9TO-7NI/AAAAAAAAI-I/L64FDtYcsbY/s640/83Fam.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that beautiful palette, I used the Lost&amp;amp;Found collection to make another 6 in. page for my "Girlfriend's Album":&lt;br /&gt;Avec cette belle palette, j'ai utilisé les papiers Lost&amp;amp;Found pour une nouvelle page "Girlfriends":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L92Mn402uVw/Ts2WO4EtXFI/AAAAAAAAI9Y/I_fk9Ya4vKE/s1600/TCR%252383_alexandrasiruguemacleod.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L92Mn402uVw/Ts2WO4EtXFI/AAAAAAAAI9Y/I_fk9Ya4vKE/s1600/TCR%252383_alexandrasiruguemacleod.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;As you might have guessed, the glassine bag I used is folded in two so it can be lifted and gives way to another layer...&lt;br /&gt;Comme vous l'avez peut-etre deviné, le sac utilisé est plié en deux ce qui offre la possibilité d'avoir deux autres niveaux (au dessus du sac et à l'intérieur de celui-ci)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J03HuFHl9eQ/Ts2Z29tfc_I/AAAAAAAAI9o/NY94VkicpsM/s1600/TCR_6Friends.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J03HuFHl9eQ/Ts2Z29tfc_I/AAAAAAAAI9o/NY94VkicpsM/s1600/TCR_6Friends.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There it is open, before I added the journaling...&lt;br /&gt;La voici ouverte, avant d'avoir ajouté le texte...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ybQ75NvVW7M/Ts2Z6Ne0yYI/AAAAAAAAI9w/yxfJNMiH8pQ/s1600/TCR_6compagn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ybQ75NvVW7M/Ts2Z6Ne0yYI/AAAAAAAAI9w/yxfJNMiH8pQ/s1600/TCR_6compagn.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un gros bisou à mes compagnonnes ainsi qu'à vous fidèles lectrices!&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to YOU, dear Friends!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P-p-5G5NCzg/Ts2Z_g7XvPI/AAAAAAAAI94/49KiI-LEfF4/s1600/TCR_6compagnonnes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P-p-5G5NCzg/Ts2Z_g7XvPI/AAAAAAAAI94/49KiI-LEfF4/s1600/TCR_6compagnonnes.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Thanksgiving will be a little different for us since our DD#1 will not be with us.

I usually like to START the week-end with a card and or "a sketch &amp;amp; a card" not END with one but since I have made a card for &lt;a href="http://virginialusblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/did-you-knowshhi-am-turning.html"&gt;Virginia's Birthday&lt;/a&gt;, I thought I'd share it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! En principe j'aime bien publier une carte ou un croquis et une carte au début du week-end et non le dimanche soir mais j'ai fait cette carte pour répondre à l'appel de&lt;a href="http://virginialusblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/did-you-knowshhi-am-turning.html"&gt; Virginia&lt;/a&gt; donc je ne vais pas attendre plus longtemps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;the sketch/le croquis:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea is pretty straight forward. The card is made of two equal sides, one is a piece of p.p, the other is a piece of torn notebook on which is stamped an image. A doily is tucked underneath the stamped image while the sentiment is stamped on a tag which is adhered on top of the two halves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'idée est simple. La carte est dividée en deux parties égales: un coté papier et l'autre page de carnet. On tamponne une image sur la partie page de carnet, on glisse un petit naperon ou cercle sous cette dernière pour diriger le regard vers cette image puis ce que l'on appelle en anglais le "sentiment", la petite phrase qui accompagne la carte est tamponnée sur une étiquette qui est collée par-dessus ces deux moitiés.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-93ygu-QkdSQ/TsnZX6Eb-4I/AAAAAAAAI8Y/7toeKtmh0uM/s1600/carte+Virginia_sketch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="544" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-93ygu-QkdSQ/TsnZX6Eb-4I/AAAAAAAAI8Y/7toeKtmh0uM/s640/carte+Virginia_sketch.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;the card/la carte:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bgZpI2ScI00/TsnZWjUxMjI/AAAAAAAAI8Q/HbGHGHb1-bo/s1600/carte+Virginia_nov2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bgZpI2ScI00/TsnZWjUxMjI/AAAAAAAAI8Q/HbGHGHb1-bo/s1600/carte+Virginia_nov2011.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virginia loves yellow and to me, besides being a very talented stamper and a very sweet Friend, she has a great sense of humor! I get giddy when I see that she's written a Dr. John's post for instance. You can participate in her call by clicking &lt;a href="http://virginialusblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/did-you-knowshhi-am-turning.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;. The stamps here are from Crafty Secrets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virginia aime le jaune et réalise souvent des cartes qui rayonnent. En plus d'etre une reine du tampon, elle a un super sens de l'humour. J'aime beaucoup ses billets sur les réflexions de son mari par exemple.

Les tampons utilisés sont de Crafty Secrets et la petite phrase peut etre traduite ainsi: "notre amitié est aussi forte que mon café et que ta laque" (bon, moi c'est le genre de trucs qui me font rire ;o)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y16jVmTadY8/TsnZUvgk6HI/AAAAAAAAI8I/vJrKPGGBOko/s1600/carte+Virginia_detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y16jVmTadY8/TsnZUvgk6HI/AAAAAAAAI8I/vJrKPGGBOko/s1600/carte+Virginia_detail.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a "macaron kind of a week-end" in our household.

The new site &lt;a href="http://www.abracadacraft.com/"&gt;Abracadabracraft&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;promises to be a great source for all us crafters and today, I'm sharing another page made with products from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.kesi-art.com/"&gt;Kési'art&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I don't often use "pure yellow" on a page but for this layout, it seemed like an obvious choice to convey the joy and the sweetness of the moment. (The beautiful baby girl is Dorine, &lt;a href="http://scrapacaribou.over-blog.com/"&gt;Virginie&lt;/a&gt;'s DD)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines et merci pour votre enthousiasme! &lt;a href="http://www.abracadacraft.com/"&gt;Abracadabracraft&lt;/a&gt; promet d'etre "LA" référence en ce qui concerne les loisirs créatifs. Aujourd'hui, je vous montre une deuxième et dernière page faite avec quelques fournitures &lt;a href="http://www.kesi-art.com/"&gt;Kési'art&lt;/a&gt;. Cette page fait entrer la lumière avec le jaune en vedette. J'utilise rarement un jaune si intense mais ce papier de Kési'art me paraissait parfait pour communiquer: la gaiété, chaleur et douceur associées à ce moment passé avec Dorine, Virginie et petite famille.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oHzL0Vh5j-A/TsUo4azRGFI/AAAAAAAAI7E/06nx35ZO7ek/s1600/douceur_8+1%253A2+x+11+L.O.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oHzL0Vh5j-A/TsUo4azRGFI/AAAAAAAAI7E/06nx35ZO7ek/s1600/douceur_8+1%253A2+x+11+L.O.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're interested in reading more about the color YELLOW, I found &lt;a href="http://www.onextrapixel.com/2010/02/16/anatomy-of-colors-in-web-design-yellow-and-the-sunshine-feel/"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; rather interesting.

(we've already seen the movie and it is fantastic!) - I also prepared my December Daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous avons changé d'heure ici aussi, l'obscurité semble donner un avant gout de fete - j'ai regardé les manoeuvres consistant à sortir les bateaux du port - nous nous sommes promenés en centre ville ainsi que dans notre quartier et les magasins retrouvent un peu d'affluence - j'ai acheté de la laine - Lily aime lire les Tintin - j'ai préparé la structure de mon DD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;☆☆☆&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a few pages to share from the "2011 in 52 pages" album.

Couper un morceau de carton (emballage céréals par ex.) et un morceau de tissu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R5HU-psCUoo/Tr9SGdaE2-I/AAAAAAAAI38/sqt6BvPZLsQ/s1600/merry2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="508" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R5HU-psCUoo/Tr9SGdaE2-I/AAAAAAAAI38/sqt6BvPZLsQ/s640/merry2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Cover the piece of cardboard with double-sided tape (I like to use carpet tape when I work with fabric).&lt;br /&gt;2. Recouvrir la surface du morceau de carton de scotch double-face (j'aime utiliser du scoth moquette avec le tissu).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YaQFdSWHIZM/Tr9SId2UOYI/AAAAAAAAI4E/vChpZaEtdpg/s1600/merry3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="568" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YaQFdSWHIZM/Tr9SId2UOYI/AAAAAAAAI4E/vChpZaEtdpg/s640/merry3.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Adhere the piece of cardboard to the wrong side of the fabric and cut the corners as seen in the picture.&lt;br /&gt;3. Coller le morceau de carton sur l'envers du tissu et couper les coins comme sur la photo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mYIfiHIS3qc/Tr9SKcX2moI/AAAAAAAAI4M/6k5N5Mx2O5c/s1600/merry4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="596" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mYIfiHIS3qc/Tr9SKcX2moI/AAAAAAAAI4M/6k5N5Mx2O5c/s640/merry4.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Adhere four strips of double sided tape close to the edges of the cardboard and pull each side of the fabric over the cardboard.&lt;br /&gt;4. Poser 4 bandes de scotch double face à l'extrimité sur chaque coté puis rabattre le tissu sur le carton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kRTXXfAX1DM/Tr9SMCK3NAI/AAAAAAAAI4U/TAfLTWOBMrw/s1600/merry5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="552" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kRTXXfAX1DM/Tr9SMCK3NAI/AAAAAAAAI4U/TAfLTWOBMrw/s640/merry5.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should look like that &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;☝&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Ca devrait ressembler à ça &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;☟&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mtFcdrqLiic/Tr9SNy4FekI/AAAAAAAAI4c/m17JNLP9YPQ/s1600/merry6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="556" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mtFcdrqLiic/Tr9SNy4FekI/AAAAAAAAI4c/m17JNLP9YPQ/s640/merry6.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Once you have a covered square or rectangle, you can choose to embellish it any way you want. I used the sewing machine to make a nice edge, one could have chosen to add corners instead. The green branch is one of my "go-to" die from Sizzix and the word MERRY is a part of a 3 word set of dies from the Papertrey Ink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une fois votre carré ou rectangle recouvert, vous pouvez le décorer de diffèrentes façons. J'ai choisi de faire une couture machine tout autour mais des coins "photos" en papier auraient etre très jolis. La branche est une de mes découpes préférées de Sizzix. Le mot MERRY est une nouvelle découpe de PTI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s7v-y2k7lV4/Tr9SDoozAwI/AAAAAAAAI3s/ZdmaRJVnlhg/s1600/MERRY.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s7v-y2k7lV4/Tr9SDoozAwI/AAAAAAAAI3s/ZdmaRJVnlhg/s1600/MERRY.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope your Sunday is a MERRY one indeed.

As we're watching the very first snowflakes fall over the Chicagoan sky, I'd like to share with you some sunshine. It comes from a far away place, Mauritius to be precise.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://swanlady-impressions.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;Janet aka Swanlady&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; lives on that beautiful island and was kind enough to respond to &lt;a href="http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/09/friendship-6-x-6-lo-atc-call.html"&gt;my on-going ATC Call&lt;/a&gt;. She created a beautiful card and two ATCs based on the colors of her island. Thank You so much Janet, and thanks for the marvelous stamps!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Alors que les premiers flocons de neige tombent sur la ville de Chicago, je vous invite à voyager loin, très loin, sur une ile paradisiaque...l'Ile Maurice. C'est là que réside &lt;a href="http://swanlady-impressions.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;Janet aka Swanlady&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Elle crée de merveilleuses cartes et a eu la gentillesse de répondre à &lt;a href="http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/09/friendship-6-x-6-lo-atc-call.html"&gt;mon appel ATCs&lt;/a&gt;. D'ailleurs ce n'est pas juste une ATC mais deux plus une carte aux couleurs de son ile qu'elle m'a fait parvenir dans une enveloppe avec plein de beaux timbres!

Today I'm back to talk in details about using molding paste to create a soft texture on paper. This technique is a lot easier to achieve than one might think. You need some molding paste, an old key card (or credit, or gift card) a stencil and some paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour les Scropines! Aujourd'hui, je reviens vous parler de cette pate polymère qui utilisée avec un pochoir peut facilement créer une texture toute en finesse. Le résultat est aussi dur au toucher qu'il est fin à regarder, non sans me rappeler les décors réalisés avec des blancs d'oeufs et du sucre...Pour réaliser toutes sortes d'effets, il vous faut: de la pate polymer (magasins de bricolage), une vieille carte rigide, style carte de crédit ou clef magnétique, des pochoirs et du papier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VmYLOZjLM5c/TqC4vhrw4dI/AAAAAAAAIrY/gDWPb_DoCmE/s1600/emboss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VmYLOZjLM5c/TqC4vhrw4dI/AAAAAAAAIrY/gDWPb_DoCmE/s640/emboss.jpg" width="426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The concept is pretty straight forward: Dip the card into the molding paste, apply on top of the stencil which has been placed on the piece of paper. Being careful not to move the stencil, make a couple of swiping motions to cover the whole image and get an even layer of molding paste all-over the surface. Once that is done, carefully lift your stencil and voilà!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'idée est simple: posez votre pochoir sur un morceau de papier, trempez l'extrémité de la carte, clef, dans la pate et recouvrez toute la surface du pochoir en appliquant un movement "essui-glaces". Lorsque l'image est bien recouverte (pas besoin d'en mettre trop) de façon homogène, soulevez votre pochoir et voilà!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kN-g04L9Wv8/TqC4w5cGhnI/AAAAAAAAIrg/zH_hgWwgvmY/s1600/emboss1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kN-g04L9Wv8/TqC4w5cGhnI/AAAAAAAAIrg/zH_hgWwgvmY/s1600/emboss1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the image below, I used this method all over the page. One it was dry, I added a couple of nail varnish splatters, matted the cream page onto a piece of kraft cardstock and machine stitched all around the edges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sur la photo ci-dessous, j'ai appliqué le pochoir sur toute la page puis une fois sèche, j'ai ajouté quelques taches de vernis à ongles, matter le tout sur une feuille kraft et fait une couture machine tout autour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lkVpRsX6cCE/TqC43axONYI/AAAAAAAAIro/eWTxud437vY/s1600/emboss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lkVpRsX6cCE/TqC43axONYI/AAAAAAAAIro/eWTxud437vY/s640/emboss.jpg" width="426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, to see the whole idea become a finished product so to speak, here is the page I made with it:&lt;br /&gt;Maintenant pour voir le produit fini pour ainsi dire, voici la page réalisée avec cette technique:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6yYVTAiEBR4/TqC48GIjYvI/AAAAAAAAIrw/uDakuF8MT_c/s1600/G.Lily_half+Layout_Tendre+Enfance_Ze%25CC%2581tiquettes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6yYVTAiEBR4/TqC48GIjYvI/AAAAAAAAIrw/uDakuF8MT_c/s1600/G.Lily_half+Layout_Tendre+Enfance_Ze%25CC%2581tiquettes.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tags are from Zétiquettes, the stamps are from Hero Arts, the dies from Sizzix, the nail varnish from MAC, the twine from The Twinery, the glassine bag from PTI, the big tag from Stapples.&lt;br /&gt;Les étiquettes fantaisies sont de Zétiquettes, les tampons de H.A, les dies de Sizzix, le vernis de MAC, la ficelle de The Twinery, le sac transparent de PTI, la grande étiquette de Stapples.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o88X5P7Ole8/TqC4_zQmq8I/AAAAAAAAIr4/TLhBFlpN86Q/s1600/G.Lily_halflayout_Ze%25CC%2581tiquettes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o88X5P7Ole8/TqC4_zQmq8I/AAAAAAAAIr4/TLhBFlpN86Q/s1600/G.Lily_halflayout_Ze%25CC%2581tiquettes.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you liked this project, feel free to use the red "pin It" button to pin it to pinterest!

A few weeks ago, &lt;a href="http://iloveitallwithmonikawright.blogspot.com/2011/10/all-way-from-france.html"&gt;Monika&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://mapetitevalisette.blogspot.com/"&gt;Sophie-Charlotte&lt;/a&gt; announced that they were organizing an international swap. I thought it was a great idea, commented on Monika's post and a couple of weeks later I received a mail from &amp;nbsp; telling me that my swap-partner was named Eva from France. I must say that my very first reaction was more that of panic rather than utter joy, I had a lot of things to get done before leaving for a few days. But then, I received a mail from &lt;a href="http://www.doudoupidou.com/"&gt;Eva&lt;/a&gt; and she seemed so happy and enthusiastic about the swap I had to give in...we exchanged a few mails and began to get acquainted with each other. She told me she liked to try new things, to entertain and have fun so I thought about the theme of FOODING. &amp;nbsp;She followed her instincts and sent me a beautiful package in a food container...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour chères Scropines! Il y a de cela quelques semaines, je lisais que &lt;a href="http://iloveitallwithmonikawright.blogspot.com/2011/10/all-way-from-france.html"&gt;Monika&lt;/a&gt; et &lt;a href="http://mapetitevalisette.blogspot.com/"&gt;Sophie-Charlotte&lt;/a&gt; organisaient un échange internationnal entre diffèrentes "crafteuses". J'ai laissé un commentaire pour les féliciter de cette belle initiative mais quelle ne fut pas surprise lorsque, peu de temps après, je reçus un mail de Sophie-Charlotte m'annonçant le prénom de ma partenaire. Je dois avouer avoir un peu paniqué sur le moment et puis &lt;a href="http://www.doudoupidou.com/"&gt;Eva&lt;/a&gt; m'a contactée, nous avons échangé de nombreux mails, appris à nous connaitre et j'étais bien contente de vivre cette nouvelle expérience. Je suis partie sur le thème de FOODING pour Eva et elle a suivi son instinct. Voici le colis que m'a envoyée Eva. J'aime cette idée de placer tout plein de surprises dans un container customisé...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Eva's:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a3HFhoz_UmI/TrboAgxE5-I/AAAAAAAAI1k/ti-3kc0wgBg/s1600/swap+doupidou.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a3HFhoz_UmI/TrboAgxE5-I/AAAAAAAAI1k/ti-3kc0wgBg/s1600/swap+doupidou.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ihH8KdnqDuc/TrboCwNBnFI/AAAAAAAAI1s/QzMd5-J5sVg/s1600/Eva.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ihH8KdnqDuc/TrboCwNBnFI/AAAAAAAAI1s/QzMd5-J5sVg/s1600/Eva.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;and mine for her:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;et le mien pour Eva:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hcfhj5fYkNo/TrboNhHlzJI/AAAAAAAAI10/yAyYN3_B4NQ/s1600/swap1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hcfhj5fYkNo/TrboNhHlzJI/AAAAAAAAI10/yAyYN3_B4NQ/s640/swap1.jpg" width="545" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the center of the picture(above), we can see the mini I made.

Miss Lily and I are settling home, we're happy to have been able to spend time with Family&amp;amp;Friends and grateful to have encountered smooth sailing all the way! I have a lot of "catching up" to do and many plans brewing but before we start with the full swing of things I thought it'd be a good idea to show you my take on The Color Room's palette #81.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salut chères Scropines! Miss Lily et moi sommes heureuses de retrouver notre "chez-nous". Ces quelques jours passés avec la Famille et les Amis nous ont faits le plus grand bien, et je suis toujours reconnaissante lorsque ces traversées se font sans vague! Alors, j'ai une liste de choses à faire aussi longues que le bras, des projets, des idées, des cadeaux mais je vais commencer par vous montrer une page faite pour la palette 81 de The Color Room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HY186lqEb7c/Tp-CJs96tnI/AAAAAAAAIqY/hkV0PPhAfOs/s1600/81HIS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="333" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HY186lqEb7c/Tp-CJs96tnI/AAAAAAAAIqY/hkV0PPhAfOs/s400/81HIS.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;my take, this 12 x 12 L.O&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vAv_CFB-h8Y/Tp-CMYoUIMI/AAAAAAAAIqg/VJVUC-dY89Q/s1600/TCR81_alexandrasiruguemacleod.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vAv_CFB-h8Y/Tp-CMYoUIMI/AAAAAAAAIqg/VJVUC-dY89Q/s1600/TCR81_alexandrasiruguemacleod.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used a small brown paper bag to anchor the picture to the white background in a rather "rustic" way and the combo Hero Arts stamps &amp;amp; Sizzix dies to introduce a more ethereal feel to the page. The black spots were made with a black nail polish. The title was made using Quickutz' alphabet Chocolate and self-adhesive foam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lE6QluEngBM/TqBdGddj2bI/AAAAAAAAIqo/5N-v5uZerBc/s1600/TCR%252381_detail2_G.L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lE6QluEngBM/TqBdGddj2bI/AAAAAAAAIqo/5N-v5uZerBc/s1600/TCR%252381_detail2_G.L.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai utilisé un petit sachet kraft pour "encrer" la photo au fond blanc. J'aime le coté rustique du papier kraft et de cet objet recyclé et le contraste qu'il crée avec les fleurs, branchages et papillons beaucoup plus aériens. Ceux-ci ont été réalisés avec le combo tampons Hero Arts&amp;amp; découpes Sizzix. Les taches noires sont des giclées de vernis noir. Le titre a été fait avec l'alphabet "Chocolate" de Quicktuz, les lettres sont découpées dans un morceau de mousse auto-adhésive noire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CBmJ6wcNDsM/TqBdKPXHCgI/AAAAAAAAIqw/y7vLSvgZXb4/s1600/TCR%252381_detail_G.L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CBmJ6wcNDsM/TqBdKPXHCgI/AAAAAAAAIqw/y7vLSvgZXb4/s1600/TCR%252381_detail_G.L.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's another element on this page I will spend more time talking about very soon and that is using &amp;nbsp;molding paste with a stencil. It gives a magnificent meringue-like texture, can you see it underneath the doily?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il y a un autre élèment sur cette page dont je vais bientot vous parler. Il s'agit de l'utilisation d'un pochoir avec de la pate polymer ("molding paste" en anglais). Cela donne une texture aussi légère et dure que de la meringue, vous pouvez l'apercevoir sous le naperon...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-4317668737379064702?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/4317668737379064702/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=4317668737379064702&amp;isPopup=true' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/4317668737379064702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/4317668737379064702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/11/color-room-palette-81.html' title='The Color Room - Palette # 81'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HY186lqEb7c/Tp-CJs96tnI/AAAAAAAAIqY/hkV0PPhAfOs/s72-c/81HIS.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-376745132099663586</id><published>2011-10-31T15:19:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-10-31T15:22:06.567-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='halloween'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='&quot;2011 en 52 pages&quot;'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mosaique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mini book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mosaic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photo collage'/><title type='text'>WEEK43's photo collage - mini Halloween</title><content type='html'>Hello Dear Friends!

I cut it in a piece of black glitter self-adhesive foam and I really love the effect for Halloween! I plan on finishing it soon so I can share it here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai commencé un mini pour Halloween. Sa structure est un sac en papier noir, il ferme à l'aide d'un tag, d'une attache parisienne et de la ficelle "baker's twine". Pour la décoration, j'ai utilisé un die de Tim Holtz dans de la mousse auto-collante noire pailletée.

Nous retrouvons l'idée d'un croquis et une carte pour le week-end et cette fois c'est autour de la féte d'Halloween...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;the sketch:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IV3A7YDpFyQ/Tp8T4mZQ_9I/AAAAAAAAIp4/nj7YLeZLHsw/s1600/sketch+asm_carte_BOO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IV3A7YDpFyQ/Tp8T4mZQ_9I/AAAAAAAAIp4/nj7YLeZLHsw/s640/sketch+asm_carte_BOO.jpg" width="508" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;card1:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I keep an old torn book at hand whenever I want to experiment with misting and if you haven't invested in the Mister Huey and the likes and you have an old toothbrush and some finger paint, try making stains that way, it works great! The embellishments are from My LYB, the stamped frame is a die from Sizzix, the small kraft tag is EK and to make the letters "BOO" I used a Quickutz alphabet with self-adhesive glitter foam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je garde un vieux livre sous mon évier de cuisine et dès que l'envie de pschitter me prend, j'arrache un page et c'est parti! Si vous n'avez pas les Mister Huey et Co. et que vous avez une vieille brosse à dents et de la peinture, la bruine que l'on nous faisait faire ainsi au Jardin d'Enfants marche très bien aussi. Les petites décos sont de My LYB, le cadre style timbre est un die de Sizzix, la petite étiquette kraft est une perfo. EK. Pour les lettres "Boo", j'ai utilisé un alphabet Quickutz avec de la mousse auto-collante noire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A5LoSayj8Mc/Tp8UjLA171I/AAAAAAAAIqA/yuUp06rygwo/s1600/Carte_Halloween2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A5LoSayj8Mc/Tp8UjLA171I/AAAAAAAAIqA/yuUp06rygwo/s1600/Carte_Halloween2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;card2:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this second take on the sketch, I used a background stamp from Hero Arts with the heat embossing technique, a black embossing powder from Rangers' and the Distress inks from the same brand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour cette deuxième interprétation du croquis, j'ai utilisé un tampon de fond de Hero Arts, &amp;nbsp;la technique de l'embossage à chaud avec de la poudre et les encres Distress de Rangers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UseEK_F1W6o/Tp8UldurhwI/AAAAAAAAIqI/ubiPdlktVSM/s1600/carte_Halloween1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UseEK_F1W6o/Tp8UldurhwI/AAAAAAAAIqI/ubiPdlktVSM/s1600/carte_Halloween1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a wonderful week-end!&lt;br /&gt;Bon week-end à toutes!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-2735871867332819627?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/2735871867332819627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=2735871867332819627&amp;isPopup=true' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/2735871867332819627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/2735871867332819627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/10/sketch-card-halloween.html' title='a SKETCH &amp; CARD (Halloween)'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IV3A7YDpFyQ/Tp8T4mZQ_9I/AAAAAAAAIp4/nj7YLeZLHsw/s72-c/sketch+asm_carte_BOO.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-5532803682692133051</id><published>2011-10-21T09:05:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-10-21T09:14:38.478-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fall'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='currents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='6083km apart'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='virginie'/><title type='text'>6083 Km APART (21) - Mini Fall Cards</title><content type='html'>Hello Dear Friends!

I realized I hadn't share the page for WEEK35 with you yet. It's a very simple page, I used a dry-embossing folder for the back ground, stitched along the edges and added a thin scalloped strip of black card stock to make the collage pop more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salut les Scropines! Je me rends compte que je n'avais pas publié la page de SEMAINE35. Comme vous pouvez le constater, elle est ultra simple. J'ai utilisé un classeur pour créer l'effet "gaufrage à sec", un point de couture machine tout autour pour une jolie finition et une bande toute fine noire pour mieux faire ressortir la mosaique de photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eHL2zKzQ5jk/Tp0CdESuyUI/AAAAAAAAIoY/QtNKMAnJzvs/s1600/WEEK35.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eHL2zKzQ5jk/Tp0CdESuyUI/AAAAAAAAIoY/QtNKMAnJzvs/s1600/WEEK35.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning I was quickly looking at the Sunday paper and stumbled upon an image of a crocheted skirt designed by Christopher Kane for his Fall/Winter collection. I about fell off my chair when I read its retail price: $2,200. As you know I love crochet and yet I don't think I'd wear this skirt even if it were given to me for free! And come to think of it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ce matin, je feuilletais le magasine qui vient en supplèment du journal du dimanche lorsque je suis tombée sur cette jupe "granny" de la collection automne/hiver. C'est une création de Christopher Kane et elle est à vous pour la modique somme de $2200. J'aime le crochet mais meme gratos, je ne sors pas avec et puis de toutes façons pas besoin puisque...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vlo_FSkjzzI/Tpy61jhGiiI/AAAAAAAAIoI/lkiOFHSpXAQ/s1600/christopher-kane-fall-2011.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="158" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vlo_FSkjzzI/Tpy61jhGiiI/AAAAAAAAIoI/lkiOFHSpXAQ/s400/christopher-kane-fall-2011.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I already have one anyway! and mine was part of our personal spring/summer collection, so Christopher: move over!!&lt;br /&gt;J'en ai déjà une! et la mienne faisait partie de la collection printemps/été, alors Chris, je suis désolée, mais c'est du copitage et c'est vraiment pas correct de ta part!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1k6TbVihXQY/Tpy63Oef0oI/AAAAAAAAIoQ/KxaEX5C59gg/s1600/IMG_6686+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1k6TbVihXQY/Tpy63Oef0oI/AAAAAAAAIoQ/KxaEX5C59gg/s400/IMG_6686+copy.jpg" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490770775879496835-6997894179546471284?l=artscrapandmore.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/feeds/6997894179546471284/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490770775879496835&amp;postID=6997894179546471284&amp;isPopup=true' title='28 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/6997894179546471284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490770775879496835/posts/default/6997894179546471284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscrapandmore.blogspot.com/2011/10/week35-i-have-2000-skirt-too-you-know.html' title='WEEK35 - &quot;I have a $2000+ Skirt too you know!&quot;'/><author><name>alexandra s.m.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08629817761932023457</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PUfOYLocGTE/TePsoulgBmI/AAAAAAAAH6k/7uQgiO_G2Tk/s220/asm1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eHL2zKzQ5jk/Tp0CdESuyUI/AAAAAAAAIoY/QtNKMAnJzvs/s72-c/WEEK35.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>28</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490770775879496835.post-257874227779217132</id><published>2011-10-16T23:48:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-10-16T23:48:47.473-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='&quot;2011 en 52 pages&quot;'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mosaique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='&quot;2011 in 52 pages&quot;'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mosaic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pink'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photo collage'/><title type='text'>WEEK41's photo collage - Pink October</title><content type='html'>Hello Dear Friends!
