Albert Einstein for 7 Dots Studio and Lindy's blog challenges

Hi everyone, I've been loving the inspiration that I am getting when I look at many online challenges.

For this page, I was inspired by the following 2 blog challenges : 

7 Dots Studio Favorite Historical Figure 

&

Lindy's October challenge

For my page, I chose Albert Einstein, I like many of his quotes, especially this one. I believe that he must have been someone quite special and so open minded. I always like to try new things and sometimes trial by error is the best way to learn. That is why I chose him, because in my Scrapbooking, that is what I like to do... TRY new things.

The Tim Holtz quote: Today is full of possibilities is one that I felt fit well with Albert Einstein's character.

Making a beautiful page is often easier when you love the paper collection. I used this 7 dots paper to start. Then I added some stenciling work in numbers and lines with embossing paste & gesso. I felt that those 2 stencils sent well with the picture. Then I wanted to add more texture and added microbeads with gel medium.

I heat embossed the chipboard with Lindy's embossing powder.

I added some touches of colors with the Lindy's sprays:

The Orange color of the Lindy's color combo is defined by the rusted metal gears. Again, I felt that they were perfect for this Albert Einstein page.

Here is the inspiration wheel from 7 Dots studio, the DT did awesome work.

Est-ce que vous avez eu l'occasion de regarder le magnifique tableau d'inspiration ce mois-ci? Il est juste magnifique, ce fut tellement facile s'y inspirer pour faire ma page.

Voici les éléments du tableau qui m'ont inspiré : Le mot Bonheur (badge), photo enfant, Doily (fait via un stencil)

Le mot BONHEUR, via ce magnifique nouveauté :

Le Doily fait avec un stencil de Snipart, j'ai utilisé du modeling paste léger avec la poudre magical Caribbean Blue.

La même couleur, j'ai fait l'aquarelle de ma fleur, la couleur est plus douce car j'ai dilué. J'adore voir les 2 tons de la même couleur.

Un autre badge coup de cœur de la collection été:

Vacances

It's a rainy May so far in Canada, so perfect weather to get crafty. I started this page yesterday during National Scrapbooking day, I hope that many of you had the chance to play with your craft supplies yesterday.
I am in the need of sun, so I took out one of our beautiful family pictures from last summer's vacation in beautiful Cuba.

I love this picture with my boys, I am blessed that they are so kind and gentle. I am proud of the young men they have become. As a mother, I've been quite blessed. So happy that we are close and even as young adults, they still enjoy spending time with us as a family and I cherish every moment.

My inspiration for this page came from More than Words and Altenew challenges: MORE THAN WORDS challenge: HERE MOTHER: For this project, I feel blessed to be a mom, so I wanted to use a picture of myself with my boys.As they get older, I know these moments of spending time with them on vacation will be fewer, it's the fact of life, so I truly want to ensure I enjoy every moment that I have with them.  FLOWERS: Fot this part, I chose to color some stamps from Altenew. I find the process of coloring and cutting our my stamps so relaxing and I love the look they give my pages.   Second challenge entry is at Altenew: May Inspiration challenge  Here are a few pics of my water-colored flowers:

And the Altenew sketch challenge:  HERE

May project for Creative Embellishments

Life was meant for a great ADVENTURE Love this quote from my Tim Holtz stamps collection. I was so inspired by the challenge this month. Once I saw it, I just felt like playing with my stencils, inks and stamps sets.

I started my background by using my distress inks (Barn Door & Looking Glass) thru a chevron stencil, the I started to add some stamping with the same colors and also added some in Archival black. I wanted the background to have the sames colors as my pictures and to make it fun and lively. 

Next step, I used this beautiful chipboard scribble frame that I cut in half and covered with acrylic paint. I have to say that this frame has become one of my most recent favorites.

Here is another angle to see the stamping and frame
