I've been tagged!

Here is my 6th picture from my 6th file!

This is Mao, my little darling. I don't have kids so my 2 cats are my babies. This one sleeps with me, eats vegetables, and even comes to the bathroom with me (I hate when she does that!)
Anyway, She looks like an angel now but believe me, she's also got horns!! Little devil!!
Now the best part...Tag! You're it!!

Contest, don't you just love them!!

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!

New Year resolution!

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

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.
