Navcan w-end and Bad Girls Top Designer class #2

What a great w-end!
Did I do lost? That is the question!
I made my self a TO DO list.... and I completed 3 on the list! Yes it was a big list, but I needed at lease 2 of them done and they were completed when I left Navcan on Sunday!

We had lots of fun! Friday started with a surprise visit from Mellisa (that was not able to stay for the w-end, she was the photographer for a wedding, I hope it went well...). We had diner, went for some shopping and came back to the conference center.

I worked on my Eva class (photo's to follow) and we were in bed around 3am! Follow up with Saturday a fun day full of drinks and creating! What a evening! We went to the Bar and I was "the bar tender" on dutie to help in the back of the bar because we had to have our traditional "Russian Roulette" to start our evening! 12 to make and the Bar tender didn't know how to make the shoot! Then the evening continued... and Katie entertained us with a jump in the fountain and with new trendy Fashion tips for us to remember! Went to bed past 3h30!

Sunday, our juices were somewhat slower and the day past really fast but for me nothing major was accomplish! And then we had to come back home! I had a great time driving up with my new chauffeur aka Katie and she did a marvelous job! Thanks for also bunking with me and for all the special moments we had during the w-end!

Laurie was with us for the first time and I am sure that she really enjoyed her self and she fits right in with our little group! Laurie it was also great to spend the w-end with you!

Tanya was able to join us Saturday mid afternoon and even if she forgot all the photo's that she wanted to scrap, she made the most adorable little painting on pages of a old book... precious little masterpieces!

I was also really happy to receive a gorgeous layout made by Rachel and I will update it later today once I am able to take a good picture of it!

It was also really great to see and spend time with all the "Lady bugs" friends during the w-end: Suzane, Sandy, Jan, Karen and Tracy! Marlene had family visiting and a big race yesterday and was not able to make it.

On other news... I made it trough the next round for the Bad Girls Top Designer class #2! I'm really happy of my layout I made! see bellow! I am not sure yet what's the next class but wish me luck!

Have a great week everyone!

Bad Girls Top Designer: Class One (layering)

This is my entry for class one of BAD GIRLS TOP DESIGNER contest. The class assignment this week was to layer. I used multiple pieces of papers that were stitched on my back piece of Kraft paper. Then added a piece of corrugated box and used Getso to add a extra layer. Over it again used 2 other pieces of paper and attached my picture of chipboard. Used my sewing machine to create a ruffle for one piece of ribbon and added extra ribbons, paper foliage and bling over lapping on it. After I used 4 different tag to set the background for my title. the 2 extra large buttons were set together with a beautiful fabric brad. Under that I added a Basic Grey book plate and added my title. "Sweet" was layered ans "Serenity" as well and popped with foam dots. Semi-layered the rub-on on the paper, added the flower, photo turns, paper clip and dew drops!

And voila!
Enjoy your Sunday, the ya.ya's had a blast last night and I leaving shortly for Toronto!

A little ATC for Catherine Matthews-Scanlon!

I completely forgot to share the little ATC I made for Catherine Matthews-Scanlon during the w-end!

I made this little series of 2 one named "Enjoy" for Catherine and "Beautiful" for me to keep as a memento! I do not sew as good as she can, but at lease I gave it a try! After my w-end of scrapping for my Jenni Bowlin application I had the sewing machine all set up to add a little touch! I also made the back ground paper with a small piece of a corrugated box and with multiple stamped image of the stamp that was in the Jenni B Kit. Oh I {heart} this stamp! Lacquered the letter and voila!

I'm going on my lunch break to post it off to you! You should see it soon! I hope you like it!

Enjoy

My application for the Guest Designer spot for Jenni Bowlin

Here are the projects that I have created for the Guest Designer Contest on the Jenni Bowling blog. You needed to use the August Paper Crafting Kit. I really had lots of fun making these 2 pieces of Art!

Second project is my Scrapbooking Quilt. This project can be hanged on the wall and all 9 squares are a separate mini layout of 4" X 4". I have used part of the packaging of the Making Memories “Glitter Letters” and the box that the kit was sent to me in! Recycling and using your imagination goes a long way... Try it!

- EDITED -

Enjoy & have a great week,

Hug and kisses

Last night was the first Passport class, the ladies really had fun! I had a little scare because of a "certain ribbon" but at the end the ladies left with a beautiful mini album ready to decorate and place pictures! What a wonderful line, that's the consensus from all! Thanks to all 14 ladies: Laurie, Marlene, Barb, Lynda, Louise, Anya, Nancy, Marie and her mom Jeannine, Lisette, Claire, Bonnie, Joanne and Lorrie! Hope you had fun! For the "tool invention" that Stéphane made, I will ask Stéphane (if he wish to create more) and Jenn (if something can be done to have some at the store), details to follow!

That brings October!

That brings...

3. The biggest and warmest Thank you to all the ladies that surround me at the "Box" (what I like to call it personally) really it is my second home: The Scrapbox! I love being part of the team there, thanks Jenn for this wonderful opportunity. I am meeting such wonderful women there and we are all sharing one single thing in common: The love of Creating! It could be for their children, conserving memories, for a special gift or just for them self!

Thank you to all of you that visit my blog and leave comments or just tells me that they visited. I truly appreciate it!

I visited the store today (in my mind I was only going there for about 30 minutes), left twice out the door to just come back and chat some more! I just didn't what to leave! OK now I will go back to my creating... today it's for me, I playing with my Jenni Bowlin kit! Will share tomorrow or Monday at the latest! Tomorrow it's Spellbound for the store!

Enjoy your w-end! Again a long post! ;)
