Hi everyone,
It’s wednesday so that means I have a challenge for you. Last week, I was looking on Pintrest when I saw this beautiful print

I fell in love with the colours and wanted to create a layout with it. This is the result.

Cut, stamp and colour, it’s that simple.

I’m a big die cutting fan and own 2 cutting machines, one manual and the other electronic (how greedy is that?).

give Halloween some COLOUR

Happy (almost) Halloween all you stampers!!!
I want to share a COLOUR COMBO with you today that I used when creating my latest Halloween layout:

It’s not your traditional colour combo when it comes to Halloween — maybe, instead, you think of birthdays, the beach or the backyard pool.
Yeah……well…….I’ve mixed things up a bit and brought these…  |  read more »

Magazine inspired

I love magazines: I love to read them, look at them and… I especially like to flip through them, looking for ideas! One of the most inspiring magazines I know is the French Marie Claire Idées:

I buy this magazine, even-though my French is not very good and I never actually make any of the projects…  |  read more »

Challenge Day:Embossing

I was using some corrugated chipboard elements on my layout and I just didn’t want to use them “raw” they way they came.
I thought that I would ink them up so they would stand out but I wanted more. I wanted them to “pop”. Here is where I took out my stamps and stamped directly…  |  read more »
