Tag-a-lope for a Tea Drinker


My friend Sophie came to one of my workshops a few weeks back and gave me this cute little envelope that she made from a tea bag envelope. Since I am a huge tea drinker, that thoughtful gesture warmed my heart... and the tea bags that she gave me warmed my stomach!








The quote inside the envelope has a story behind it. You see, Sophie and I used to work together and one day we indulged in a few fortune cookies. Ironically, the fortunes she got in HER cookies would have been more appropriate for me and we had a good laugh about that all day. Well, wouldn't you know that she saved them up and used one inside this envelope. To this day, I truly believe that she has "transfered" that good fortune to me.

Merci, Sophie! (ALTEREDAAAAAAAAAAAART!) <--- inside joke...

Symphonie de couleurs / Color Symphony

J'ai été victime, hier, d'une frénésie de production. Ça ne m'arrive pas souvent alors j'en profite quand cela arrive! J'ai toujours aimé les regroupements d'objets et ces cartes en sont la preuve. Un modèle très simple à réaliser avec l'ensemble d'estampes "Doodle That" du mini catalogue du printemps. Les papiers sont de la nouvelle série à motifs, qui seront disponibles dans le prochain catalogue de Stampin' Up!.








Les images ont été coloriées avec des crayons de bois Prismacolor et du Gamsol pour diluer la pigmentation de la couleur. J'ai utilisé les poinçons ovales et ronds (grandeur "Giga")de Marvy Uchida pour obtenir les formes. À chaque feston, j'ai percé un petit trou que j'ai surligné avec le crayon gel blanc Signo.














J'ai également utilisé le poinçon Fente horizontale pour les ouvertures de chaque côté de l'image dans lesquelles j'ai glissé un ruban. Les rubans d'organdi sont de source inconnue et sont assortis avec les couleurs de papiers. Les sentiments proviennent de l'ensemble Petits amis et sont estampés avec de l'encre Classic de couleurs qui coordonnent avec les papiers.





J'avoue que mon plus gros défi lorsqu'il s'agit de maintenir mon blog à jour est la prise de photo. Je suis sans cesse à la recherche de l'endroit qui m'offrira le meilleur éclairage... je me promène partout dans la maison, avec mon trépied sous le bras, en quête DU SPOT qui conviendra. Mon mari se gratte la tête mais se restreint bien de passer son commentaire,chose qui n'est pas facile pour lui!
















Yesterday, I was a happy victim of the "Production Bug". A nice virus, if you ask me. Especially when it doesn't come around all that often. I've always loved groupings of things. These four cards were made with the new patterned paper that will be featured in the new catalogue. Also used were the Doodle That and Little Mates stamp sets, oval and round Giga punches from Marvy Uchida, horizontal slot punch from SU, assorted organdy ribbons (source unknown), Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, paper piercer and Signo white gel pen.






I've also used the EK Success curvy cutter to cut the oval in whisper white cardstock... not an easy thing to use. A very important step: use temporary adhesive to hold your paper unto your glass cutting board. You also have to hold everything firmly in place while cutting, i.e. paper, tracks and cutter. I found it to be a very intense operation.

Tomorrow, I will post a cute little pocket/tag that my friend Miss Kool-Aid gave me with some fabulous tea bags. Have a great Sunday!

L'artiste invitée *** Guest Artist

Mes deux enfants sont doués pour les arts -- sans aucun doute. La photo à gauche fut prise par ma fille de 15 ans lors d'un voyage à New York. Cette photo m'impressionne de par son angle et son paysage. On dirait bien que le gratte-ciel vient percer les nuages. Encore plus impressionnant est le fait qu'elle n'a pas une bonne caméra. Elle veut poursuivre dans ce domaine et j'ai tellement hâte de voir ce qu'elle va nous produire avec de l'équipement de qualité. Mordue du dessin assisté par ordinateur, elle a également fait plusieurs portraits de ses ami(e)s que vous pouvez voir sur son espace de DeviantArt. Allez y jeter un coup d'oeil!

My two kids are very gifted when it comes to art. The photo on the left was taken by my 15-year-old daughter on a recent school trip to New York. This photo captured my attention. It really looks like the skyscraper wants to burst through the clouds. It is even more remarkable when you know that this picture was taken with a cheapie camera. I can't wait to see what she will do with good-quality equipment; she wants to be a photographer and I think she is on the right track. She also does a lot of digital drawing and has made a few portraits of her friends and even people whom she hasn't met yet. She gets requests all the time. You can view her online portfolio on DeviantArt. Take a look!

Way to go, Stuuph! (not her real name of course, hehe)
