Tag Tuesday Challenge #44

Another great challenge from Louise at http://kardkrazy.blogspot.com/ This week it is black and white. It was hard to not add a bit of red on the cheek of my victorian girl... So the tittle is "Memories" as you can see!

Have a creative Tuesday!

You want to come for a snack?

Hum... I just took out these mini bacon and leek quiches out of the oven! They smell wonderful! I can't wait to eat one. These are very easy to do. I used muffin molds and already made pie dough. For 18 mini quiche you'll need 8 eggs and 400 ml (approx. 13 ounces) carnation milk. You choose your own combination like ham and oignon, ham and spinach, brocoli and cheese,or like I made bacon and leek... Bake for 30-35 min. at 350 F. Serve with a soup or salad. My kids just love them! So do I!!

Have a creative monday wherever you are, in the kitchen or in the studio!

Reduce, Reuse And Recycle!

Today I want to share the way I make "envelopes" to ship my tags. It costs a little bit more to ship a rigid mailer than a regular envelope but it worth it! All my tags and/or cards arrive safely to their destinations! You can make 2 rigid mailers from one box (crackers, cereal, cake...) Some family members save those boxes for me. It helps to get a wide variety of sizes to fit the needs! The first step is to flat the box and cut it in 2. I measure the lenght of the box and mark the half and fold it. I cut the excess on both sides and end. After that, simply glue together. I also use tape to secure sides and tab before to ship it, to make sure everything is safe.

Voilà! It doesn't cost much! You have more ideas? Share them here!

Have a creative wednesday!

Tuesday Tag Challenge #40

Here we go again, another Challenge. This week, the theme is Shamrocks! You can find it right here http://kardkrazy.blogspot.com/ So I made a "Princesse d'Irlande" with a few shamrocks on the left side. I didn't have any shamrocks stamp so I just follow the (great!) idea of Louise and made them using a small heart stamp.

Have a creative Tuesday!

My motivation book

Today, I am sharing my motivation book. I made this (small) book last october as a reward for my 2 years anniversary of better way of life. Since october 11th 2007, I walk daily for 45 minutes and I didn't touch any kind of sweet dessert. Of course I lost some pounds. And to stay motivated I am taking a photo on the 11th of each month and of course I scrap it in this little book to remember. So here is the cover

This is february pages

January pages

December

November

And finally October

That's all for now, stay healthy!

Have a creative friday!

Tuesday Tag Challenge 39!

This week theme is Cutsie!!!! at http://kardkrazy.blogspot.com/ with Louise. Oh my! I was not too much "inspired" this time. This is not my comfort zone for sure. Well, at least my younger daughter wanted it, she needed a new bookmark! Go ahead and take it sweety! So here is my "so simple" tag. Stamped and watercolored...Titled: What would I do without you? Hopefully next week Louise will spoil us with an easier theme! LOL
