This is the first page I do repeating the whole cluster over and over.. it’s a trend I’ve been seeing for some time in the galleries and wanted to try it myself. I quite like it for this page!

Here’s the page I promised I would post yesterday, but didn’t have time to. I love how it turned out! I made it for an Everyday Magic challenge at ScrapMatters, about our collections.

It’s only Tuesday, but I’m way behind with everything already!!! This is certainly one of those days I wished I didn’t have to work and could scrap all day! 😉 (wait, are there any other kind of days?? :-P)

$2 Tuesday

It’s a rainy day here, so a sale is just what I need to brighten up! And Mari’s store has just that: a $2 sale on 5 products, with savings up to 67%!! Check it out here!

And here’s one of my favorite kits of Mari of all time, for sale for just 2 bucks today!

Don’t you just love $2 Tuesdays? 😉

GSO :)

Wow, it’s hard to believe, but yet another weekend has flown by super fast.. This was a quiet but very nice weekend. It was also quite productive from the scrapping point of view – not quantitatively (I scrapped a mere 3 pages), but surely qualitatively, since this page that I did for the scraplift challenge at the DigiChick earnt me another gallery standout! 😉

OK, seriously, I talked DH into going to this air show 2 months ago (well he was all for it of course, since he loves planes, but I brought it up!!) because I had this gorgeous mini hit by Elise’s Pieces Designs, and I finally had some time to scrap with it! It’s really beautiful!
I also did this page last night:

The third page I did was for a challenge that’s about to go live at ScrapMatters, so I’ll post it later. 😉

Mac n Cheese

Amy Sumrall has teamed up with Valorie Wibbens (the latest addition at the LilyPad!) to create a cheesy, super fun kit, Mac n Cheese:


It’s really a versatile kit and I found it so romantic!! Here’s the page I was inspired to scrap (finally putting some of the hundreds of food pics I shoot to good use! 😉 ):


I have quite a busy day ahead, but I’m really glad it’s Friday!! The weekend is near and I cannot wait to go out and shoot some pictures for my photography class. 🙂
Last night DH and I went to see a Cirque du Soleil show and it was phenomenal!!!!!! Too bad that no pictures are allowed, but I still want to scrap 1 or 2 pages to record the experience. I’ll have to do some searching for what elements to use!

10 Years!

As you may know if you’re a regular reader of this blog, a little over a month ago DH and I celebrated out 10th dating anniversary. For the occasion, I worked on a little hybrid project and I can finally share it here, now that it’s posted as a tutorial on the ScrapMatters blog too! 😉

10 years is quite a long time, and I thought it would be neat to create a mini album with a page for each year we spent together. I tried to get a picture taken in summer, around our anniversary date, but I have to tell you, some years it was hard to find a picture of the two of us together at all! Luckily, this will never happen again, because since I started scrapbooking I’ve always made sure to take plenty of pictures of us. 😉

Anyway, here’s my little album: it’s tiny and it turned out very pretty! 😀


I kept the pages very simple: most of the space is taken up by our picture, plus I added a date stamp that bears the year and the anniversary number.

It’s $2 Tuesday and Mari Koegelenberg has SEVEN products for sale! Wanna see 2 of my favorites ever? OK, here we go! 😉

I just love this kit, Happiness. The bright colors always make me so happy!


And there’s another kit of Mari’s I really love, the sweetest kit ever, Hooty Toot:

Girls Rule and Boys R Cool

Amy has 2 new very pretty kits in the shop, one for girls:


and one for boys:


I played with both (obviously doing neither girlish nor boyish LOs – these kits are so versatile!), and here’s a page from our picnic on the lake, on Saturday, using the boy kit:

I also made a birthday card for my grandmother using the girl kit:

You can also pick up the kits as a bundle and save some $$$!
