For instance, it gives me great pleasure to share this simple card with you today because this card has personal sentiment to me.  A few months ago, I shared with you that a coworker's daughter had lost her baby at birth.  I had made a 20 pages album to give to her with pictures of them together.  You can read about it and view pics HERE.  Well her mother, Cathy was so touched and she decided to add 20 more pages.   These past few weeks have been hard on Jenna not having her sweet daughter Piper.  So I made this card to her and wrote a personal heart felt message.  Although I don't really know Jenna, I really wanted to give back to her and help her ease the pain that she is going through.  I wasn't there when she got the album and card but truly hope it will help ease the pain.

Jenna and I have similar taste, I know she loves pearls and lace.  I wanted to make a card as elegant as her.

I challenge you to make a card for someone, a simple card can make a big difference in someone's life!

So to thank you for your patience, I have a BLOG CANDY.  I am giving 1 of these cute albums to 3 readers who will post a comment on my blog!  And if I don't get any comments then I get to keep them all! lol

Here are a few pictures of the album that I showed today and if you want to see my Bliss mini album then click HERE.  I also wanted to thank my facebook supporters during this trial period (Kimberly, Lysanne, Sonia etc)

The pictures are of my youngest daughter Jordan when she was 9 months.  There are two things she said to me:  "You keep saying my name on the video, it must be because you love me alot"  and the second thing she said was:  " why did you put a flower hat on my head?"

Back to the stamping:)  I am going to share the instructions for the mini album this weekend, it's on my to do list.  I am so exciting it will be a video, my very first.  So stop by this weekend to view it.

I met with my stamp club members.  Here is what we came up for Rachel's grand-daughter Camélya for her 3rd birthday, this sweet birthday card and matching mini album.

I told you I was in a spring kind of mood!  Don't you love the color combo!  I love the Easter Blossoms stamp set as it has more than one use for it like a cute birthday card for Camélya!

We then worked on the mini album, how adorable, Grand-ma Rachel will be able add pictures of Camélya on the inside of her precious album.

Here is a video on how to make the album!

We had a great time creating it and today's stamping made it feel not so cold as my studio was warmed up with Spring colors and Love!  Have a great weekend and make sure to stop by for my first video!

This afternoon, we are heading to the physio as Megan injured herself.  Please pray for her.  She has been training since summer for this important  EOSIC competition on Friday in Toronto.  Poor girl, she is trying to pretend all is good because she doesn't want to miss the event.  It makes me feel so sad for her, as a nurse and especially a mom, I need to remind her that even though she has been working so hard, and put her heart and soul into preparing for this competition that we might not be able to go and that her health is much more important.

I was busy stamping all weekend.  Stay tuned because I will be posting this week.  Well I have been cherishing these pictures for a while and was waiting for the right technique to create a page.  Thanks to Patty Bennett, I created a perfect and beautiful rose to match Jordan’s pictures.  The rose was created with the watercolor rose technique which I am going to show my stampers group.  I will also be showing this technique to our Sparkledaisies meeting, leader Marlayne Hardy.  I sure hope to wow them!  By the way, at Josee Smuck’s Inkies meeting, there were a few who asked me where I had these pictures done.  It’s a studio called Magenta Studio , in Montreal

Material used:  shimmery white cardstock, pink pirouette textured cardstock in 12×12, pretty in pink 8.5×11, whisper white textured cardstock, Bella Rose designer paper, vellum cardstock, white pearls from the pretties kit, 2 way glue, dazzling diamonds, whisper white taffeta ribbon,  chipboard, white craft ink, ink refills in pink pirouette and pretty in pink, aquapainter, eyelet border punch and naturally serif letters with my big shot.

WATERCOLORING RE-iNKER TECHNIQUE

Instruction:

1.  Take a piece of shimmery white cardstock

2.  Stamp your image with White Craft ink

3.  Apply clear embossing powder on stamped image

4.  Heat the image with your embossing tool

5.  Spray your entire image with a spritzer bottle filled with water

6.  Use a lid ex.  cool whip lid to apply a dab of reinker of your color choice. ( You can use different colors)

7.  Take your aquapainter and dip it in the dab of reinker.

8.  Touch stamped paper with the aquapainter (the color will spread on the wet stamped image)

9.  You can repeat step 7 and 8 with another color and can go over the image more then once if you want to create more colors ( I used pink pirouette, pretty in pink)

10.  Let your stamped image dry standing up (the extra water will drip down)  It doesn’t really matter because you will cut the image after.  It will take approx. 30 min for your image to dry

Voilà! you are done…

As some of you may know, I have 3 girls.  Every time one of my girls starts school, I have this craving for another little baby.  Jordan will be starting school in the fall and we had to go visit and register her to St-Jean-Baptiste in L’Orignal 2 weeks ago.  With our busy lives my husband would have a heart attack if we were to have another baby!  He is already living with 4 girls in the house + our female dog, Maya.  Therefore, I satisfied my cravings by looking through old pictures.  This picture is of Megan, my oldest daughter who will be turning 9 in June.  On this picture she was only 4 months old and had fallen asleep on her grandmother’s hand.  I used this page for my March stampers group:  The technique was to showcase the new circle scissor plus.

Cardstock:  pacific point, whisper white, summer sun, kiwi kiss, Designer paper:  good morning sunshine, On board so tweet, Pacific point corduroy buttons, 5/8" Striped grosgrain ribbon in kiwi kiss and pacific point.

The chipboard was stained with the close to cocoa, ruby red, more mustard craft ink and kiwi kiss classic ink.  I also used the designer label punch with riding hood red textured cardstock.

I would like to thank Aline Martel for the inspiration of this page and Jo-Ann Pullen to help me figure out how to post my pages.
