CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Evening ! :)

How are you all ?

When I began to scrap, I was obsessed with two holidays : Christmas and Halloween ! And in early July, I saw that some designers had made Christmas cards. That's not sursprising these days :) So to be like everyone else (and also because I already had the material), I made one too. I know, I'm soooooo original ^^ But... is this not what we call "inspiration" ?? :))

So here she is :)

I would like to enter the following challenge :

- TOMIC (Christmas in July)
- Wild Orchid Crafts (Round in Circles)
- Tilda's Town (Name your Technique - Mine are layering, stitching, stamping, coloring with Copics, but I guess there are many more that I didn't mention or that I don't even know I'm using ;-))
- Magnolia-licious Highlites (Christmas in July)
- Marianne's Design Divas (One Year Challenge and DT Call)
- Bizzy Becs (Flower Power)

Party Lucy

Hello Bloggers :)

I hope you are all well...

It's been a long time since I've shown you my "first" card, but you know what it is to be a mother & wife, and it's not always easy to find what busy women call "time for myself". I often feel like crafting, but I can't in the moment... and I'm always frustrated. On the other hand, I feel so inspired when I really have the opportunity to display my craft supplies on the dining table. I don't know if I would be able to create something "that would satisfy me" if I had to force myself.
Anyway... here I am with a new card to share using the pretty "Party Lucy" stamp.

I am entering the following challenges (first time for me, have never done this before) :

- Bunny Zoe's Crafts Monthly Challenge (Swirls and lace)

- Wild Orchid Crafts (Shabby Shic)
- Papertake (All Things Girlie)
- The Ribbon Challenge (Sweet Sparkles)
- Bearly Mine (Girly Birthday Card)

(This card has been inspired by the beautiful work of Silvie Z. (DT member of the magazine "Magnolia Ink"). HERE is the link of her "Party Lucy" card, isn't she lovely ?? :)
