3rd project - BTC&G - New Beginnings

Whewwww I almost forgot about my 3rd project for By The Cute & Girly's January challenge. Only a few days to go!!!!! It's the weekend, you have plenty of time, forget the housework and come play with us :)

As for me, I am back in the office half days as of this Monday. Been working from home and am pretty excited about going back. Health is still pretty unstable but better. Being with my gals & pals will help I'm sure!! Life has given me a warning and I am listening...this time :))))

I made this layout with a picture of my wedding. Thought it was perfect for a new beginning's theme. All papers and products used are from the fabulous Boutique Herazz Scapbooking for which this page was made.

April is Cute & Girly Month!!

Happy April Fools day!!!!! Have you been fooled yet today? I am on a day off from work and home alone so unless I get caught by one of my dogs or believe everything written on Facebook, I think I just might be ok :))))

A new month = a new challenge over at By The Cute and Girly and our beloved Lora chose to use our name as the challenge theme. Cute and Girly projects are what we are seeking for the whole month of April :)))) Be sure to visit us, get inspired by the awesome creations the DT have to share and have fun!!! Sponsors are announced as well so be sure to stop by and visit us here.

DT Project #1 for our Cute and Girly theme is a layout using the fabulous papers from Prima's Sparkling Spring Collection. The picture is my beautiful niece Sabrina.

This page also served as a DT project for Boutique Herazz Scrapbooking where you will find all the papers and materials used on this page.

A few reminders : You may enter the chalenge as many times as you like, but each entry must be a different craft, eg, 1 card, 1 altered item, 1 knitted item, 1 piece of jewelry, 1 layout etc and you must follow the challenge theme. No backlinking, your entry must be new and never blogged before. Please link directly to your entry, not just to your blog so it is easy for the design team to find. Finally if you don't have a blog, you can upload to an online gallery using the keyword BTCGCUTE or you may email Lora with your entry at lorascards@aol.com (this is only for people who do not have a blog).

***On another note, does anyone know where I could find a tutorial for an easel card box with one drawer? I really really want to make one for a special occasion and can't seem to figure out how :( Thanks in advance xox ***

11 Week old Geisha and her Big Sis' Wendy are saying : See you soon :)

Happy Tuesday all!!

A short poste to present a layout I made of my step-son Marc-André :) I am very pleased with the result!! The papers are from Prima's *Sparkling Spring* collection and the theme serves as a reminder for By The Cute And Girly's Springtime challenge!!!

Good evening everyone!!!

Haven't been in Blogland for over a week!! Was going through the withdrawl syndrome so here I am!!! Been a busy week with my animal Kingdom whewwwww

Gringo my miniature horse is back home after surgery, my persian cat had a urinary track infection and my chihuahua Rambo was attacked by stray dogs that visited my poperty yikes! Many sleepless nights but the good news is that everyone, or should I say every animal is fine and back to health :))) My Chihuahua is still a bit on the edge but he is almost back to normal and the pain he was experiencing was nerve and bruise related, no bites from the other dogs...that's a relief!!! As for the horsy, he is getting stronger every day yaye!!

My little Geisha turned 8 weeks last Wednesday..here she is :) Cutie pie :)))

And with her BIG brother, 4 pound Rambo ha! ha! (He looks huge by her side)

Let's toss my fur babies for the remainder of this post but you know they will be back :))

Here is a layout I did signed Webster's Pages, *Spring Market* collection. Not my usual style, struggled a bit but in sum, happy with the result :)

Bonsoir :)))


Je vous présente ce soir une page *designer* pour la Boutique Herazz Scrapbooking qui est pour moi, vraiment hors de l'ordinaire!! Pourquoi? Parce qu'il y a quasi rien sur ma page!! Ha! Ha!


Il a vraiment fallu que je me contrôle sur l'ajout de papiers, embellissement etc ouffffff Pas évident pour la reine des gugusses!!! Ha! Ha! Tout ça pour laisser la vedette aux merveilleux papiers de Bo Bunny mais surtout à cette merveilleuse photo de maman lorsqu'elle avait à peine 17 ans! Voici donc une page de style shabby, incluant aussi les rubans de Webster's pages, une breloque cameo, utilisation du distress ink aged mohawgony afin de relier le tout et quelques perles bleu pâle de Kaiser Kraft :)

Vous savez quoi? Malgré sa simplicité, j'aime beaucoup cette page!!!......et ma maman ;)

Avant de quitter, avez-vous vu ma réglette de perte de poids au haut de cette page???? Je suis a moitié chemin wahoooooooo 40 livres des perdues depuis ce lundi ta da da da da DA! Bye bye Penningtons et Addition-elle!!!

Alors mon *petit* moi *rire* vous laisse le bonsoir xox

Page DT Herazz - 'Tis The Season de KaiserCraft

Avant de vous présenter ma création, je suis heureuse de vous annoncer que mon petit cheval miniature est revenu à la maison hier!!! Il est frèle et quelque peu *magané* de sa chirurgie mais tout ira de mieux en mieux chaque jour!! Claude et moi allons jouer aux infirmiers pour les prochaines semaines. Nous devons le nourrir quatre fois par jour, lui donner médication, nettoyer sa trachéotomie non fermée, le faire marcher, nettoyer sa bouche, prendre sa tempéraure et lui cuisiner une soupe chaque jour.

Ce soir il tramblait lors de ses soins alors un petit *call* je ferai à Ste-Hyacinthe demain question de me rassurer. Il es si petit et son futur repose entre nos mains. Photo prise lors de nos retrouvailles hier soir...Gringo partage avec vos son petit visage à moitié rasé et son nouveau tattoo à la points de sutures :)

Scrapbooking maintenant......



J'ai crée cette page pour la boutique en ligne Herazz Scrapbooking en honneur de la nouvelle collection de Noel 'Tis The Season de la compagnie KaiserCraft.

Autre matériel utilisé:
