Wow to My C.A.S.E. Studies!!!

2009-04-26T12:02:00.003-04:00

A wonderful, creative and mind boggling blog full of cards! My C.A.S.E. Studies is the blog of Maureen Wong. Her title means Copy And Steal Everything (not stealing...getting inspiration from other people) Like her, most of my cards have been inspired by magazines, and other people's cards. One thing I did not do is to tell where my inspiration comes from. From now on, I will mention the name of the person I got my inspiration from because it is so important to give credit. There are so many talented artists on the web!

If like me, you're into making cards, go take a look at her artwork, many hours of reading to come!

Every day on the web, you get a chance to win prizes when doing a card or a layout. The web has tons of them but some are better then other. Deanne Burton's blog "Just my sketches"
http://a-scrapaddicts-sketches.blogspot.com/ is one of them.

When you go on her blog, the first thing you do is Wow! Those colours are so bright and happy, just makes you want to go in your paper stash to see if you have any paper that colour!

On Feb. 20, her counter went up to 10 000 (I can hear sighs from people wishing the same thing!) and she has a wonderful contest. To win, you choose a layout for a card or page, and you put it on your blog, so here is mine!

Thanks Deanne! You are an inspiration to us!

I had promised myself I would clean my scraproom during the holidays. Unfortunately, my body decided otherwise and I was sick the whole time. I did a little each day and hooray! today it's finished!

I'm just starting, I don't have much stuff but I had some everywhere so I really had to see how to put everything in place to be easy to access and fun.

This is my desk and my very full shelves of books! The empty section is for my stamps right now. I keep forgetting to bring back home boxes so I can bring these in the living room. If I add antother book, the whole thing might fall off!
This is where I put my holiday stuff. Right now, it's full of valentine
things. I can see quickly what I have. That picture is of me when I was five.

For my birthday a couple of years ago, my sister did the drawing. I was so happy! Now all I have to do is put it on the wall.

These boxes are really handy, I love boxes and it was fun decorating them.
I want to put shelves on this whole wall...so handy when you can take things off the workspace.

I like things ordered...everything in it's place...even my candy stash!

If you are like me acrylic stamps are to be handy at all times. I found this fun way to keep them all in a very small space...ziploc bags with a plastic sheet for the stamps to adhere to it and on top, the stamped images.

And my final find, an electronic picture frame. From me to me with love!!
Every time I see a sketch or a card that I like, I load it on it. Then I let it roll for inspiration!

Now, I just need to start doing something with all this!!

Internet Find

2009-01-08T12:08:00.005-05:00

I found this great web site who sells card kits. I get once a month and I'm able many cards, tags or money enveloppe, they are very nice and really easy to mount. These I can sell quickly and still have lots of time to do cards that require more time. Here is the site :
https://www.paperwishesps.com/php/articles.php?article=what_is_cardmaking&inmenu=5&inlink=0

The fun thing is that for every tag that's in english, there is a same tage without text. Since I do only french cards, I thought it would be fun to let somebody else have them. Please post a comment and next saturday, I will make a winner. Look what I did with one set! I also had a cute little money card for christmas but I already used it. Everything comes with a booklet with all the information to mount the cards, ribbons, brads, etc.

Your memories by design....a must in scrapbooking!

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, been sick sick sick! Seems like everytime I thought I was finally ok, I caught something else! First I caught a cold, then it turned into a sore throat, sinusitis and an otitis. I thought I was out of the wood but no, I had to catch a bronchitis. Ok so now, can I have a break?

With all that I didn't do any scrapbooking for the 3 weeks. Sooooo long!!! Instead, when I had a bit of energy, I decided to put some order in my scraproom. Wow, how much stuff can you put in one room!

I also took the time to take pictures of Your Memories By Design products that I bought. I just can't wait to start working with them. Look at all those goodies! The products are top quality, colourful and Catherine, the owner, is a pearl! I'm on the YMBD forum for 2 months now and this is the best forum I have tried. Lots of fun, the girls on the YMBD have so many good projets for us to try, lots of contests and packed with ideas. Go see for yourself!

There are lots of new products this week and I think I'll have to put an order in!!!

This is a goody bag Cathering always puts with the orders. You get to try other products that you might not have bought without seeing it. Great idea!

I can't wait to have some time off!

This has been one crazy couple of months! I have been doing so many christmas cards I can't think strait! I passed the word around that I was selling cards and boy did people jump! I even sold the cards I had done for my friends so I have to do some more! I'm not complaining, I pay my addiction (scrapbooking) with the money and I learn many things along the way.

I have a big projet for March next year, but I can't talk about it yet. If it works well, it will be soooo cool!

Here are a couple of my favorite cards I did. What do you think?

I've created a monster!

Last weekend, Luc (my boyfriend) and I went shopping for our "big" christmas present. We bought Animal Crossing for me (a Wii game) and RockBand for Luc. We had tried Rockband at a friend's house and Luc liked it. Well he's been playing every night since Friday! Imagine giving some pans and a metal spoon to a child and you get the picture. It the first time I see him so happy about a present so I don't want to bust his bubble. Scrapping with the bang bang in the background thought, not too inspiring. Hip Hip Hurry for earplugs!!

Box for cards or presents

I wanted to do gift boxes to put my cards in. I still have to practice but I think it's not bad.

Why the French title? Well since I'm french! And because I have a French blog. Actually, I thought it would be easier to have both blogs with the same title!

I started scrapbooking a year ago and been hooked ever since! What I like making best are cards. I just love doing cards. I started by doing some to give to my friends at Christmas and since they wanted to have some to give to their friends...Voila!

Why a blog? Because I just love showing what I do!

It's a go!!
