Cartes du genre: Viriles!!

Bonjour à tous!

Hier, j'ai eu la chance d'animer (quoique mes invitées ont toujours le don de s'animer entre-elles! lol!) un atelier "chillax" de 3 cartes de styles plus masculins. Je dis "chillax" car les quelques derniers ateliers avaient été un peu plus intenses!

 2 cartes pour la fête des pères et une d'anniversaire générale:

 

Cette première a été  "CASE" (copy and share everything) de Stampin' Connection:

 

J'aime son look "class"!

Celle-ci, m'a donné beaucoup de misère...



La prochaine fois je ne collerai pas le cercle jaune avec mon bâon de colle car on voit trop la demarcation des bandes de papiers en dessous. ET, je ferai plus attention à l'angle dans lequel je "poutche-poutcherai" mes gouttes d'encre pour éviter qu'il y en ait PARTOUT!! hihihi! Que voulez-vous, ce sont les joies de la creation! Lol!

 

 

Je suis quand meme très fière du résultat final! Qu'en pensez-vous?

 

Et la dernière, faite avec du papier obtenu gratos! de la superbe promotion Sale-a-Bration du printemps dernier! Promotion à ne jamais manquer!! :)

 

 

Le médaillon central de cette carte est fait avec le Au Top de Stampin' Up... Vous aimeriez savoir comment? Contactez-moi, il me fera grand plaisir de vous montrer cette magnifique (et simple) technique ainsi que plusieurs autres! anoukbel@hotmail.com .

 

 

Vous aimeriez assister à mon prochain atelier ou en tenir un chez vous avec vos ami(e)s? Rien de plus facile! Contactez-moi par courriel et je vous arrange ça!!

 

 

D'ici là,

merci mille fois d'encourager ma follie!!!

The Case of the Cursed Flower...

You know that moment when your creating mojo just goes down the drain and all you end up doing for a few weeks... or months... is surf on Pinterest and re-create other people's projects? Yep! It's been one of those creator's blocks and I blame it on the cursed Flower!

A few months back, I made this lovely flower with my Daydream Medallions and Floral framelits kit from SU and since then ... blah! ... That lovely, cursed flower just sat on my desk for months, sucking all creative life out of me!

Last week, I decided it was ENOUGH! I turned that sucka' into a card, and though it wasn't an easy ordeal, I'm not too disappointed in the final result:

I would have loved to share the inside with you but unfortunately my camera refused to focus right...

So if my calculations are right, now that the cursed flower has been mounted on a finished card, my creator's block should vanish. Therefore, I should be posting some more original lovelies real soon :)

Thanx a million for encouraging my madness!

Mother's Day Explosion Box Workshop!

Just thought I'd share a few preview pictures of my upcoming workshop! A gift and a matching card...

Just LOVE explosion boxes! Don't you?

 

 

 Do you recognize the Artisan embellishment kit from Stampin' Up's spring mini? What about the fabulous colors from the More Amore paper collection?

 

 

...and a little detail off the top :)

 



 

Just in case anyone would like to have  more details about my workshops just e-mail me : anoukbel@hotmail.com...

 

I will be giving my blog set-up a good re-vamp very soon to include SU links and all the details of my different workshops ... but I have to meet with my designer-pal first :)

 

 

Thanx again for encouraging my madness!

Become a Stampin' Up Demonstrator? Why not!!

I first started scrapping when I met Stéphanie Binet who is a Stampin' Up demonstrator. You can view her blog here. She invited me to a Valentine's Day demo and just like certain drugs, it only took me once to be hooked! She was my SU demonstrator for nearly 2 years until she moved last fall :( ... so my little scrappin' gang and I were left stranded.... So, tell me, what other choice did I have than to become an Independent Demonstrator myself? .. obviously NONE!!! LOL!

Jokes aside, I took the leap in January and have been a demo since then... I've only held one workshop since. It was a Stamp and Stack style workshop which introduced certain basics of cardmaking as well as basic tools...

This is one of the 4 different cards that we made (each in 3 different color schemes).

(The Christmas owl as well as the picture frame are 2 projects that I got to make at Stéphanie's workshops...)

I was so excited when I prepared my workshop I took more pictures of the preparation stage than of the final projects :)

 

 

I only took one picture of the cards all together and hadn't realised I was missing 2 colors in a set...

 



Next time I take the cards out for a project I promise I'll take more individual pictures ;)

All in all, the workshop went really well and I was quite satisfied with the outcome! Hopefully I will have the chance to have a repeat :) especially so I can send more of my little Sheep Minions to my crafty clients!

Aren't they the cutest Minions ever?

For now, I need to concentrate on my Mother's Day workshop! We'll be making an EXPLOSION BOX!!!! I just CANNOT wait! (can you feel my over-excitedness??) ... and yes, I'll take better pics of that one!! lol!

Thanx a million for encouraging my madness!

Explosion boxes.. My new Passion!

Earlier in March I was looking for an original birthday gift idea to make for my bestest pal who is just starting to paper craft. After spending way too much time on Pinterest (Who doesn't?) I came upon explosion boxes and fell right in love with the project! Who wouldn't like to receive a mini scrapbook album in a box?

 

I used the Specialty Sweet Shop paper collection from SU.

a few tags to add notes or display more pictures...

sorry... still have no idea how to rotate pictures on blogger...

and my favorite page: a little keepsakes box...

 

I absolutely loved the challenge of making this box. Hopefully my Bestie will have just as much fun filling it up with pics and souvenirs :)

Thanx again for encouraging my madness!!

35 years! There's a GREAT reason to celebrate!

I'm taking a few minutes to congratulate my parents-in-law on their 35th wedding anniversary! Congratulations Carine and Jean-Jacques!

Did I ever tell you how much I LOVE my Big Shot machine? The possibilities are simply never-ending!

The only detail you can't really see from the picture is that I added a little liquid pearl (white opal) to the embossed frame so the tiny dots look so ... pearly :)

Thanx for vising and encouraging my madness!
