Monochrome

J'avais cette photo de Gabriel, qui est une de mes favorites. Il y a longtemps que je désirais refaire cette page, car je n'aimais pas mon original. La photo est tellement belle, que je ne veux pas lui enlever l'attention, alors je m'y lance avec une page monochrome BLANC...

I had this gorgeous picture of my son Gabriel, and hated my original layout. I've been wanting to redo this page for a while now. I wanted to really have the picture stand-out... so what better than a monochrome WHITE page?

Journaling !

AH un autre défi... ajouter du journaling a mes pages... Moi qui n'aime pas mon écriture... mais j'admet que les anecdotes s'oublient et parfois c'est l'essentiel de la page. Voici un souvenir de notre vacance au Nouveau-Brunswick, mon fils, les 2 pieds, pris dans la BOUE...

Journaling, hard to do when you don't like your handwritting, but it does give scrapbooking pages unique charm. Especially when the picture represents a special moment like trying to get your son out of the Mud.. Here is my favorite moment from our New-Brunswick vacation last year.

Papiers / Papers: Lucky 7 Factory !

My Challenge - Mon défi

This year, I really want to challenge myself by trying different styles... I always use lots of paper on my pages, and the clean and simple is very far from my style. I do admire the work of many of my friends, so here is my first attempt at a Clean and simple page... Hope you like it, I'm really pleased with the result. The papers are from Lucky 7 Factory.

Cette année, j'ose... j'essaie d'innover dans mon style. J'admire beaucoup le style de page épurée, mais moi qui est traditionnellement une grande consommatrice de papier sur mes pages, j'avoue que ce m'est guère facile. Alors voici une de mes premières tentatives... J'utilise les nouveaux papiers de Lucky 7 Factory...

Kit du mois, Aange !

Quel beau kit mis ensemble par notre belle Aange pour la boutique Art du Scrapbooking. Une belle collection de papiers de Noël... Je dois dire que j'ai eu un gros coup de foudre pour les penguins...

Love this kit of the month... It was put together by my friend Aange for the Art of Scrapbooking boutique. I fell in Love with the Penguins, what a colorful holiday package.

Ma carte / My Card:

My 40Th Birthday Gift !!!!

It's official, I'm 40 today... And this is what I requested as a gift... a renovation of my scraproom. Well, we kinda had to, since we had found some mold in the walls, but over the holiday period, my husband was a dear and renovated the whole room. We kept many of my storage solutions, but we added a few extras.

I've been screening the web over the last few months for the inspirations and trying to find storage solutions that would work in the space I had while keeping things in a reasonnable budget. Some of the ideas you might have seen on other sites and some are just inspired by an IKEA and Homesens sale...

SO... Here it is after numerous hours of work...

Here is my work station, where I color, cut and assemble. Most of my products are at arms lenght, I LOVE IT !

The storage solutions for my inks are for cassettes tapes and for my other products, I used a cutlery storage rack, that we hung up on the wall. Here is a closer look:

Most of my furniture is from IKEA, I found this metal cabinet in the ''As Is'' section for a great discount price, it's perfect for storing my Martha Stewart and border punches. Also found theses gorgeous white shelves at a wednesday sale for 18$ each... What luck! they are usually price around 60$, I couldn't resist...

My hidden ribbon storage (located behind my entrance door)... I've purchased some metal storage solutions for kitchen supplies, my spool ribbons fit perfectly inside. For my ribbons by the meter, I use a plastic tag storage solution that fits well on a round  metal clip and store them by color scheme. Also, I found theses gorgeous blue storage bins that are perfect for my pens, scisors and coloring pencils and they were 0.69$ each, what a steal...

Last but not least, my IKEA table, used to layout my papers or to have a few friends over to scrap with...

As you can see... I'm really excited about new new Scraproom... and now my husband is really gonna have a hard time trearing me away from my favorite passion !!!

What a way to celebrate a 40th anniversary !

Ahhh une page de ma mignonne Maya, n'est-elle pas ADORABLE?
