UN BEAU CADEAU

Hello again. I rarely get to scrap two layouts in one month but since all the in-home confinement, I found the time to play the sketch challenge at the SCRAP OUR STASH blog.

Here it is:

My layout:

As usual, I played around with the sketch, changing one of the piece of pattern paper and replacing it with one long strip. I also added a chain link cut file behind the photo for a bit of texture. I've had that plaid pattern paper in my stash for years. I'm glad I finally got to use it. The wood embellishments can be found on the journaling tag.

Some close-ups:

Finally, the journaling. My grand-son gave me this book for Christmas. He chose it at school from the books available through Scolastic.  It warms my heart that he thought of me when he saw it. He knows me well. 

That's it for now. Thank you for stopping by.

À la prochaine, Until next time,

At 7

A new month, a new challenge. This time it's a fun one at one of my favorites, Srap our Stash.

I tried my best to find papers and embellishments that matched the colour combination chart. I think every one of those colours is on my layout.
We also had to find stash items for the letters of our first name.
Here's what I came up with;

Journaling card
Alpha letters
Cut file, clock, chevrons
Yellow sequins
Number
Text print, teal coloured ribbon
Heidi Swapp ghost letters, handwriting
Epoxy heart

My layout:

I scraplifted the words banner at the top of my page from one of Design Team member, Karen Yagel's layout. She featured her layout on her YouTube channel, Yes Please Papercraft - Layouts of 2019, which you can watch here.
As soon as I saw her layout, I knew I had that particular paper in my stash and that those words described my grand-daughter to a T. They also matched the colour combination so that was also a plus.


Here are some close-ups:

Cut files of the circle frame, flower and leaves are from the Silhouette store. You can also see the clock, the chevrons, and the Heidi Swapp ghost letters. The flourishes are from a Stampin'Up set.

Finally, the journaling about my grand-daughter, Rosalie at 7 years old.

I enjoyed working with this challenge, and I'm pleased with how my layout turned out. 

Thank you to SCRAP OUR STASH for pushing me to create pages using items that have been in my stash for years. 

Until next time, À la prochaine,

Jacynthe 😊

St. Patrick’s themed products

One of my scrapbooking goals this year is to use as many of my paper scraps as possible. I'm happy to say that every piece of paper on this layout is left over paper from other projects. The bottom piece of flowery paper had two circles cut out of it but I decided to use it just the same.

All five colours were used.

From the Evidence list : Floral pattern, dots, scallops, other animal, heart, leaves, flowers, border punch, ribbon, and people.

From the Testimony: Presentation - add hearts to your journaling.

I hope you will join us for this, or any one of the three monthly challenges.

À la prochaine, Until next time,

Jacynthe😊
