Pretty Little Studio | Love

Hi everyone!

Today I am featured on the Pretty Little Studio blog.
Here's my page:

Beautiful paper!!!!! This sheet must be my favorite from the entire collections!!

I paired it with touches of gold and some vellum. And I stitched and adhered everything to a canvas base. Beautiful textures!! In real life, it is just STUNNING!!! If I can say so myself.

And a small cluster of die cut and labels is all I needed to balance the whole page.

These Products are so gorgeous and addictive!! :) I'm so happy and proud to be part of the team!!

Hope you enjoyed my page!

Art Impressions - watercolor card

Hi everyone!!

As promised last week, here I am again with another watercolor card.

Oh I have so much fun with my stamps! And the more I play, the more I have ideas and the better I become.

For this card, I just followed Bonnie's instructions which come in the stamp package. So easy! And so fun. And at the end I added some wink of Stella in clear in the water which give it a nice shimmery look. Just the perfect touch!

Get It Scrapped | Channeling Doris Sander

Hi everyone!

This month at get it Scrapped, I did come thing that was really awesome:
I focussed on the pages of one of Debbie Hodge's teacher, Doris Sander (you can see her work on Pinterest right here) and I tried to understand her way to design, and I made a page from what I understood from her work. It is about my civil wedding that took place a year before our white wedding. I was 23 years old here. ;)

To see my thinking in the translation of Doris work's into this, you can go to Get it Scrapped. You'll find there also other interpretation of Doris' work by my team mates. :)

This is a page I wanted to make since a very very long time and Doris' way of using clusters of photos was perfect for me to document such an event. :)

Thanks for stopping by, guys!!

Baby feet

Hi everyone!!!

Today I have a page to show you that already appeared on a couple of galleries and social media, but I wanted to put it up here because
1. I love it
2. Maybe some of you only read my blog and don't follow me elsewhere…. is that even possible?? ;)

So anyway, here's the page:

I used my Studio Calico Bluegrass farm kit (scrapbooking + PL + add-ons). It was lots of fun to put together!! :)

Love the puffy heart stickers!

And this stamp!!!

And the sequins!!

The chipboard pieces!! They are from the Studio Calico Sugar Rush PL kit. I could put them everywhere without getting tired. They are gorgeous and so soft looking. How do you like this gold metal tab?! The punched out stars are in my stash, maying for the next occasion to jump on my page. So gorgeous!!

And look at the little cork cameras….. ! Sigh. I wish I had more. I could have a tendency to hoard things that I don't have 100s of.

Voilà. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!!

Art Impressions | Watercolor card

Hi everyone!!

Hello Ai Fans!

I'm so excited because I ordered so many watercolor stamps and I was looking forward to start creating with them!! I can tell you that for the next few Saturdays, you'll see some watercolor cards. ;)

Starting with this one:

I don't know if you saw these stamps already. You can find them here. But I just want to warn you, when you start looking, you'll want ALL of them!!!! I know because, it happened to me. lol

Once you chose your favorite stamps, you can find Bonnie's "how to" videos right here. These will give you ideas and will guide you to a wonderful result, step by step.

After you watched the videos, you'll want to practice. Because Bonnie is modest and keep saying it's very easy, but just between us, she's an artist, so for us normal people, it takes a bit of a learning curve. ;) I stamped about 6 pots and flowers before I got a result I was happy with. That means one evening fun practicing and watching videos, and than your cards will be just beautiful! :)

Along with the stamps, you will need watercolor paper and water base ink markers. Bonnie uses Marvy Le Plume, which you can find in the Art Impressions shop, but I also used my Stampin'UP! markers and some American Crafts markers that I had at home and it works fine too. You'll just have to experiment and find colors that you like. Here is the list of the markers/colors I used for this image.

Voilà! You know everything! Now you can start creating and having fun AND impressing your friends with your work of art! ;)

Pretty Little Studio | Featuring: Vellum

Hi everyone!

Today it's my turn to be on the Pretty Little Studio blog. :)
I love those days because when I make a page, the first thing I want to do is post it here and show it to you, but often I have to wait until it's published. So today is the day where I can show you my work!!

On the Pretty Little Studio Blog you can see a step by step of how I used the vellum. The process involves a star from Heidi Swapp.

Look at this overly cute little bunny. I'm in LOVE with Pretty Little Studio's die cut. Literally!

Hope you'll pop over and leave me a comment! :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Launching the Girlfriend's collection at Art Impressions

Hello Ai Fans!
Hi everyone!
Welcome to our Art Impressions BLOG HOP!!

This week we are launching the Girlfriend's collection. Fun stuff!!
I didn't realize it until later this week, but last week I showed you the wrong card and you had a preview of the Girlfriend's collection with this card:

So today I'm going to make things right and show the card I made for the BFF's collection that we launched last week (geez!).

Here's my card.

I colored this little lady with my Copics and added some wink of Stella on the cupcake, her earrings and her skirt.

The good news is that you now can get both these stamps (and all the others from both collections) online, right here: ArtImpressions. :)

For now, you can go to the Art Impressions' blog to catch the HOP from the beginning.
Or if you are already coming from there, just hop over to your next stop which will be Renée's blog. :)
