Pet sympathy card

I made this card quickly yesterday evening for a coworker who told me she has had to put her dog to sleep last weekend. She was of course deeply moved by this. I understand so well...


I used my friend Cuttlebug :) to cut several square shapes. The colored framed is a "Max & Whiskers" paper by Basic Grey and the dog stamp is by Inkadinkado.

I wouldn't have thought I would use this stamp in such circumstances. So sad :(

Une petite carte que j'ai faite rapidement hier soir pour une collègue qui a du faire "endormir" son chien le weekend dernier. Evidemment elle en a gros sur le coeur et elle redoutait ce moment. Comme je la comprends...

J'ai coupé plusieurs formes carrées avec mon amie Cuttlebug, en faisant un cadre avec le papier coloré "Max & Whiskers" de Basic Grey. Le tampon du chien est d'Inkadinkado.

Je n'aurais jamais pensé utiliser cette série de tampons pour ce genre de circonstances... :(

Corner bookmark

I've been wanting to make this kind of bookmark for a while... Now it's done... between 1:00 am and 3:00 am Friday night! Yes, I'm a night owl!
I made two of these for two girl friends of mine when we met yesterday for a crafty afternoon at Laurence's, a very crafty friend.


I followed this tutorial and it was very easy to make. What took me more time was choosing the different papers and cutting them to size!

The image is a digi stamp by Dustin Pike.

I forgot to take a picture of the second one so I will show it later.

Thanks for looking!

Cela faisait un petit moment que je voulais essayer de faire ce  genre de marque page. Ca m'a pris entre 01h00 et 03h00 du matin vendredi soir !! Oui, je suis une couche-tard qui a tendance à perdre la notion du temps quand elle bricole...
J'en ai fait deux que j'ai offert hier samedi lors d'un après-midi "bricolage/scrap" chez ma copine Laurence. J'ai oublié de prendre le 2eme en photo, ce sera pour une autre fois.

J'ai suivi ce tutoriel pour les réaliser, très facile.

L'image est un digi stamp de Dustin Pike.

A bientôt !

Christmas card giveway at Scrapcollector's!

Yenni Natalia (Scrapcollector) is giving away some of the Christmas cards she has created lately and today I won one of her gorgeous cards!

This one:

Yenni Natalia's card at Scrapcollector
Isn't it gorgeous?? She used a Penny Black stamp that she colored with distress inks in a monochromatic way. I love the result. This is very unusual for a snowman but as I said to Yenni, this gives the scene a warm feeling, as if it takes place at the end of a sunny winter day.

Thank you Yenni! I will be happy to give a new home to this cute snowman... Moreover snow is not far over here... and I faaaarrr better like the snow on this card than the one that there will be in the streets!! :-/

Make sure to check Yenni's blog on a regular basis if you don't want to miss her next cards giveways!

Fluffles in action!

This is a birthday card I made for a friend using one of my favorite cat stamps: Fluffles by Stampendous. This fluffly ball is always shown in comic situations or with a comic look upon his face.


Detail of the gift. I've added Frosted Lace Stickles on it + a ribbon and raised it with 3D adhesives.




By the way...I think I'm on the right path to collect all Fluffles stamps...... No comment! :-p

Stamps: Fluffles Gift (Stampendous), Happy Birthday sentiment (Cupcakes by Hero Arts)

Sympathy cards

Here are several cards I made for a coworker. The goal was to make several cards and submit them to my other coworkers who would choose the one we would send her.

This is the first time I made a sympathy card and it's not easy to stay very simple, not too dark and not too cheery as well. They chose this one:


The other ones...

I don't really like this purple one. I think this looks more like a communion card than a sympathy one.


This one was my fav:

Stamps: Silhouette Fern (Hero Arts), Friend definition (Hero Arts), All I have seen (Stampin' Up)
