COCKTAIL TIME

4 girls. 1 bachelorette party. 2 afternoon at the beach. What's missing? A few cocktails of course!

This layout is the last one I did for my sister bachelorette party album, using Shimelle's class The Perfect Collection and Amy Tangerine collection. If you want to see the other layouts I made, they are all here, or you can just click below on "the perfect collection" tag.

Thanks for taking a look, here are some more detailed shots of the embellishments:

 

VAMOS A LA PLAYA

I don't know about you, but i think summer wouldn't be summer without at least a few days at the beach. I don't like hot weather that much, or sand stuck in every part of my body, but there's just something about the smell of salty water & the sound of crashing waves that makes me feel good. 

Scrapbooking related, it means one thing: i have hundreds of pictures of blue water, waves and sandy toes. Expect a lot more layouts.

There's probably no need to mention it, but yep, this is another layout made with The Perfect Collection.

THE STORY BEHIND

The place: Barcelona

The event: my sister bachelorette party

Everything was ready for a memorable night. We had planned cocktails & tapas, dinner and a night club by the sea. But when do things ever go according to plan? Not this night anyway. But even though with didn't go to the restaurant, or to the night club and ate some not so good tapas, well we had lots of cocktails and laughed for the whole night. Because all it really takes is good friends!

 

And one more layout from Shimelle's The perfect collection class. 4 more to go!

Have a great week,

PARC GUELL

Today i'm sharing with you my first ever double page, made with Shimelle's class The Perfect collection and the Sketchbook line by Amy Tangerine. I had lots of fun doing these pages, i clearly aded less details than i would on a single page layout but i think it works better this way.

PHOTO SHOOT & BAD FOOD

Good morning!

I thought i'd show you a bit more about my process while creating a layout, from start, to finish.

Today's layout is still from the Sketchbook line and made with Shimelle's class The Perfect Collection.

I created the specific starting points knowing i would use it for a two photo layout but that was pretty much it. Here's how it looked at the beginning:

With this starting point in front of me, i decided to play with some of my new Mr. Huey's. Over the last month i saw soo many scrapbooker using them but never dared doing the same. I decided to give it a try and i LOVE it!! I think they're pretty expensive though, so i'm gonna have to figure out a way to make my own!

On this layout i used light green and black mist on three different spaces.

Next step was adding the pictures and my title. I decided to mat the two pictures since my background was already very busy with lots of colors. I went for pink & black for my title.

Finally, i picked up my stickers, dots and die cuts and started embellishing the page. Pretty much all the embellishments I'm using in this album are from the Sketchbook collection, except from a few things I already had. I've been seeing a lot of 'oh hello' or 'hello there' lately, and I love it!

I decided not to add journaling for now (i'm still working on this handwriting 'issue' lol), so that was it, layout complete!(and list of supplies here)

Do you follow the same steps in the same order while scrapbooking?

SAY CHEESE!

Hello!!!

It's getting pretty hot in Paris, and i find myself spending a looot of time inside where it's easier to breathe. And being inside means only one thing: more crafting time!

I've already completed half of my layouts from my Barcelona trip, and I'm gonna show you a new one today!

I really like this layout, probably because we had lots of fun taking those pictures in Guell park in Barcelona, and i also think that this pink woodgrain paper is pretty AWESOME!

I used another one of these cute pockets to hide a bit of journaling. The tag inside is in fact a piece of paper from the Sketchbook line that i cut into a tag, then sprayed some yellow mist and finally used the line to write my journaling. Really liking tags lately (back to the basics!)

The rest is just bits of pieces of embellishments and that's it! You can check the supplies right here.

I'll be back tomorrow with another layout, along with it's own start to finish to mix up things a bit around here!

BACHELORETTE PARTY

Good morning everyone!

Another hard morning after one pretty cool night at the festival. I'm now going to enjoy a calm & relaxing week-end!

Before sharing today's new layout, i wanted to thanks you all for your sweet comments, you girls always  make my day <3. It's also so great to see how many people this class, and more generally Shimelle, has inspired. The scrapbook community really is awesome!

Here's the second layout i did with the class. I really liked the starting point, and Amy's papers are so beautiful and full of colors that it didn't take much more to call this one finished. Big crush on the glitter thickers, they're absolutely perfect!

Just like before, if you wanna know what product i used, it's right here

FLYING TO BARCELONA

Hi everyone!

Yesterday was a pretty cool day. The Fnac Live music festival started in Paris, and since i used to work for the Fnac (it's pretty much the same concept of store as Virgin Megastores), I got to go backstage, have fun with my friends and see Charlie Winston concert (i looove this guy and its music, even more since i saw the movie Lullaby!). I'm pretty exhausted right now but going back tonight for some more fun. In the meantime today is gonna be all about sewing and scrapbook projects.

Has i told you, i've already completed a few layouts from Shimelle's class The Perfect collection and today i'm sharing with you the first one i did, which chronologically is also the first in the album of my trip to Barcelona.

It came together pretty quickly thanks to the starting point, but I still had a great time picking the embellishments and arranging them on the layout. I'm still not convinced about my writing but i still wanted to record memories from the trip so i simply used this gorgeous little pocket and put my journaling into it. I think hidden journaling is the best alternative for me right now.

If you're curious about the products i used, you can check the page on my Two Peas account and roll to the bottom of the page for the list of product!

Have a great day and see you soon for a new layout and well maybe a new feature on the blog ;)

THE PERFECT COLLECTION

I finally did it! I picked a collection and cut it all! And let me tell you, i'm so glad i did it!

It all began a few weeks ago when i heard about Shimelle's class: The Perfect collection. The first steps of making a layout are always the hardest for me and not the most pleasant one either. I look at all my pretty papers and have no idea where to start, to afraid to make a cut and ruin it all. That can last for a very long time... Once i have my pieces, another nightmare begin: what to do with them? When i look at all the pretty pages on pinterest, blogs and forums, i always feel like my pages lack a certain unity that would make them complete. The perfect collection is exactly what i needed to solve both of these issues.

A few days ago, i took the 16 papers i had from the Sketchbook collection by Amy Tangerine, followed Shimelle's instructions, and before i knew it, i had in front of me 12 pages, or starting points to be exact, ready to be scrapped. I feel like every of this pages is very much my style and it's oh so simple to just have fun adding embellishments, title and of course my pictures! I've already completed 4 of the layouts, but that's another story ;) For now, here are all of my starting points:

Off to my next layout!
