Harry Potter- oh yes another one

I still have so many beautiful pictures of our visit to the Harry Potter World, my souvenir album is coming along slowly but surely.   For this page I got inspired by 2 things... 1st was the challenge of placing lots of thread onto our page at Scrapauxpuces and the 2nd inspiration came from a page that I had pined on my Pinterest board.   I used 2 colors of thread Red & Grey on 3 different areas of my page.  

 

On my page I used: Washi tape, Prima light, Creation Imaginations Harry Potter stickers (Yes, I've had them for a while so don't go trying to find them, they've been sold out for ages) The papers are actually a Christmas Collection from 7 Dots Studio, it's such a beautiful collection, who says it needs to only be used for Christmas Themed pages???

 

So I sraplifted this page created by Delaina Burns, an artist I discovered via 7 dots studio blog. I just fell in Love with her page and really wanted to make a page that had a similar look and feel.

 

 

Thanks for the inspiration Delaina,,,  

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 !

Journée de fille- Prima November Challenge

Family Mini-Golf CSI Case file #181

Wow it has been quite a while since I last did a challenge over on the CSI forum.   Loved the color combo, the sketch and the boyish inspiration. Here is my page for Case File #181:  

  Here is a closer look at the picture montage:  

  The text is handwritten and the title is a beautiful wood veneer by Freckled Fawn.   My evidence for this challenge: Kraft Background, clowds, gears, metal, stamps, clock parts & a mustache. The testimony talks about a day during our vacation in Florida in 2014. I also used the Nifty Pixel sketch.   Here is the case file if you want to give it a try.  

 

Harry Potter Fan

As myou migh thave noticed, I am a big kid at heart. I Love the Harry Potter series and the park in Orlando. So far, I have visited 4 times and now on my buckt list is to visit the studio in London.   My page was inspired by an online challenge. I needed to include pages of an old book. It just inspired me to do another of my Harry Potter souvenir page. I also had the stamp that I loved the quote: I'm in my own little world, but it's okay because they know me there. I felt the quote fitting because any Harry Potter fan would understand that it truly would be a world that I'd love to say I lived in, so maybe for the 1 day I visit the park, I can pretend.    

  Papers are from the Harry Potter collection, I added some gel medium numbers and letters are the bottom for effect. I aslo adde some Blue Fern studio chipboards that I colored with my Distress stains.   Do you share my Potter passion?

November Creative Embellishment challenge - Magic

Another opportunity for crafting a page, a beautiful challenge from Creative Embelisshments. I enjoyed the color combo this month. I started by using Cosmo Cricket paper Just Add Watercolor paper.  

 

And yes, another Disney page. I still have so many beautiful pictures that I need to craft. This one was taken during our visit at Animal Kingdom 2 summers ago.

 

Here is the color combo and the inspiration. On my part, what inspired me was the leaves, the colors and the flowers.

 

 

 

  WIshing you a great November and hope you also have many things to be grateful for..

Cuts2Luv November challenge

It's that time again for a fantastic challenge over at the Cuts2Luv blog.     I find it so easy to create when I have a starting point. Either the sketch, the color scheme and in this case the title. I had this beautiful picture with Donna Downey during onr of her clsses in Montreal a few years back. I especially loved making this piece with Pan Pastels.

   

 

I followed the Moodboard sections: Color Combo, Sketch, lined paper & the word Dream

 

 

Wishing you a great day !
