{ Scrappy saturday: write }

I am back from Paris still floating on a cloud of joy from meeting 14 wonderful ladies and being in the most beautiful city in the world!! 

I should really have blogged about our trip already but I guess I am not ready yet! Don't want to close the case!!

If you want to see some photos of our trip just check Instagram using #parissewsocial.

For today I would like to share a very simple page made using April kit from Hip Kit club. 

De retour de Paris, encore toute émue des belles rencontres et de la beauté de la ville. 

J'aurais dû poster sur mon périple mais je crois que je ne veux pas encore classer l'affaire et rester encore sur mon nuage, à croire que ce n'est pas vraiment fini!!

Alors aujourd'hui je vous propose une page de scrap aux couleurs vives et gaies pour lutter contre la pluie incessante. Une page faite avec le kit d'avril de Hip Kit Club, toute en couleur fluo!

{ Scrappy sunday // why I sew for you }

Happy sunday everyone!

I hope you had a relaxing sunday! Mine was spent waiting at the horse riding club for my girl to do a jumping competition and then to recieve her price! she ended up winning in her category , so I guess that was worth the while of waiting 4 hours in the wind!!:)

This girl has my heart!! she is the cutest one and the funniest too! and what a chatter box! Always talking and making stories up. 

Et voilà une toute nouvelle page faite avec le kit de Mars de Hip Kit club. Un peu de découpe et un long journaling. J'ai caché deux photos sous du papier calque pour ne pas surcharger ma page.

I made this layout to document how much I like to sew for her.
I used the March Hip Kit club kit. 
I knew I wanted a long journaling and I aso wanted to incorportate these 3 photos. So I cut bits of patterned papers to the size of my photos and then layered them, and stitched them with my sewing machine.
Then I hid some of the photos under a piece of vellum to tame the whole layout down. 

Papers and emebellishements are mostly Crate Paper and American Crafts. I am crazy about both!  That little sewing machine from Crate Paper was just spot on for me!!:=)

 Of course there is a little bit of stitching going on here!!:)
I fussy cut the "&" from a Crate Paper sheet. Oh how I enjoyed this process!
I am now working with the April Kits. There are filled with fun colors.
 

{ Follow your dreams }

The story of this dress is a dramatic one!!

It took me ages to make the dress my girl wears on that photo: I altered the pattern and took ages to make it. It was perfect. Blandine wore it once and then I washed it. Tragically, the washing machine "ate" it! it was an old machine and the dress got destroyed in it!

Would you believe me if I say we both cried??! true story!

I made this layout because I want my girl to remember that even though we lost this dress, I hope she will remember how beautiful she was in it, and how much love I put in making this dress for her! 

I also want her to know that her beauty does not depend on what she wears but on what she is inside.

Une nouvelle page avec le kit de Mars de Hip Kit Club. J'adore ce kit si féminin. Tout à fait mon style!

Une page à propos de cette robe faite pour Blandine l'été dernier, à l'histoire tragique: dévorée par la machine à laver! 

{ How long do you want to be loved? a Hip Kit Club layout }

 These two... they are so close. always together, playing, chatting, sleeping in the same room as often as they are allowed, fighting too!
Oh, ces deux là!! quelle chance ils ont d'être là l'un pour l'autre!  Ils passent la plupart de leur temps ensemble, à  jouer, bavarder, lire, et se chamailler!
Cette photo, je  l'adore! Je l'avais prise en début d'année quand j'avais fait la robe de Reine des neiges pour Blandine. Il fallait donc la scrapper!!

I was listening to this song last time, an old lullaby called "Lullaby" sang by Edie Crey and Sarah Sample and it sang:
"How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
'Cause I am never never giving you up "
I thought it was totally appropriate for their sibling love and for the love I feel for them.
