Handmade Christmas Gift packages & Words & Paintery challenge entry

Good morning bloggers, Merry Christmas to all of you !

This year I was inspired to create for my crafty friends  a hand made gift wrapped package (trust I did not do all my gifts this way heheee)

I started with plain Kraft paper, then thru a stencil I added the Finnabair snowflake paste.

I heat embossed my chipboards the for the snow at the bottom, just added light and fluffy modeling paste. It was as simple as 1-2-3 but took 1h30 to complete both packages. 

I am taking this opportunity to enter this project into this challenge:

Words & Paintery December challenge

I know my crafty gals will enjoy this package, now here is to hoping that they'll want to open them on our crafty day together.

Happy Holidays to you all !

Lovely - June Lyndy's Stamp Gang challenge entry

My inspiration for this beautiful color combo was this stunning picture of my niece with her lovely belly in this field of flowers. She is 8 months pregnant with her second child, a son and she is just a radiant beauty.

I just love how this page turned out. I wanted a soft page. I used this lovely 7 dots studio paper. Then added some mixtures of ink with the following colors:

Alpine Ice Rose Spray

C'est la vie Cerise spray

Bonjour Butter spray

I used the same colors to paint my 49 and market embossed flowers:

I wanted to add brilliance, so I added touches of embossing on my page and on my tags:

Desert Moon turquoise embossing

Hibiscus Rose Orange Embossing

Bonjour butter embossing

Here is the June moodboard:

This beautiful Flair from Cuts2luv is perfect for this page: ETSY

An the tiny words stickers from my friend Edith can be found HERE

I hope you enjoyed my take on the challenge, I can't wait to give my niece this page.

Have a great day !

Together- Family Ski Vacation

Last January, we went away on a family ski vacation with some family members. We rented a cotage for the weekend and then went skiing at Mount Sutton in the Sherbrooke area. It was our very first time on this mountain. We were so lucky that day. There were no clouds in sight, the sun was shining bright and the weathers was almost spring like. Just a Fantastic January day.   I took many pictures that day, here is one of my favorites of my son Philippe with his cousin Julie and Martin. Winters are long in Canada, so skiing I have found to be a really great family activity to embrace the snow and spend time outside with the ones I love.   To so this page, I was inspired by the challenge board over at Scrap Around The World  

 

Here is a closer look at the picture.. see no clouds...

 

 

 

For this page, I played around with embossing and ink, no medium this time around. I added some snow flake die cuts and I used glitter paper to created them. Of course you will see some of my favorite Cuts2Luv buttons, one is never enough on a page.

 

 

Here is the Scrap Around the World inspiration board:

 

 

Ohhh I can't wait to get skiing again... but not looking forward to the cold...   Wishing you all a fabulous day !
