The cardmaker

J'ai lu cet article sur un des blog anglophone que je lis fréquemment. C'est tellement vrai! À lire pour ceux qui ne me comprennent pas toujours... :)

The Cardmaker

A Cardmaker delivers the most welcome kind of unannounced visitor: A handmade card. A card touches us - somehow, a small folded piece of paper can comfort, celebrate, reach out or just say hello. Creating a handmade card is an honorable and important task. As a Cardmaker, you are entitled (but not limited) to the following rights:

~ You have the right to take as long as you want to complete one handmade card. This may be five minutes or two weeks.

~ You have the right to send a card for no other reason than to show off your new stamp, embellishment or technique.

~You have the right to create a fabulous card for your husband, partner or roommate - just because you know it will stay in your house.

~ You have the right to spread your cardmaking things out all over, just to admire them.

~You have the right to purchase a certain cardmaking item for no other reason than because a) you like it; b) you think it's cute; c) you'll never find it again, or; d) you know you'll use it someday.

~ You have the right to reserve using your most precious supplies on cards only for recipients who will truly appreciate them.

~ You have the right to a workspace of your own. This may be the basement, your college student's old bedroom or the kitchen table.

~ You have the right to make cards when inspiration strikes - whether the dishes are done or not.

~ You have the right to request peaceful, kid-free, stress-less cardmaking time - guilt-free.

~ You have the right to let the handmade card be the gift, too.

~ You have the right to value your personal style.

~ You are creating a treasure - and part of that treasure is you.

Les fameuses estampes Fancy Pants

Voici ma dernière page de scrapbook. C'est une photo de Laurie-Anne, 4 ans. J'ai cette photo depuis plusieurs mois, mais je voulais faire quelque chose de spécial.

Le papier est un verso We Are;

Quelques fleurs Prima;

Différentes encres (ColorBox, Stampin'Up et Staz-On);

Les estampes de Fancy Pants (Pollen Dust);

De la couture à la machine.

Voici les estampes que l'on retrouve dans le paquet 12"x12". Je les trouve magnifiques! Les possibilités sont infinies.

Je n'ai pas beaucoup de mérite quand à la mise en page de cette page car je me suis inspirée en totalité du projet à l'endos de l'emballage... J'adore et je suis très fière du résultat.
