myStampBOX Stamped Titles

I'm going to keep my post here short and sweet since I'm on day 3 of a migraine and since I'm 6 1/2 months pregnant and can't take anything, you can imagine I'm not seeing too straight at the moment.

CPS 138: So Happy For You

I recently found out that my neighbours/friends are expecting in the Spring. After many struggles to start a family, I was ecstatic to hear the news and wish them all the best. Congrats Cory & Naidean! I used the CPS (Card Positioning Systems) Sketch 138 create my card. Nice and simple, it came together really quickly.

Pebbles Inc. Double Page Layouts

This past week, fellow design team member Lisa Warren has been hosting the Pebbles Inc. Blog. Her Friday Tip was about creating double page layouts from sketches. I adore Pagemaps sketches so I played along with the following sketch and created a double page layout about my cottage getaway this past August.

Pebbles Inc. Distressing

It's time to get distressed on the Pebbles Blog with this week's design team host Susan Dupre! She challenged us to create a layout showing different distressing techniques. I created the above layout about my super hot hubby using papers from the Lil' Buddy Collection. To create the distressed look, I ripped, sanded, folded, and inked my papers to take the soft look of these papers to a more grungy look.

They make simple, cute, and easy-to-use products, including patterned paper, craft chalk and stencils, decorative Chips chipboard shapes, self-adhesive Candy Dots, themed die cuts, ribbon and more.We’re so excited to welcome the Pebbles brand!

Introducing....

Now, I am pleased to introduce to you one of our fabulous new myStampBOX designers! Welcome Virginie Delbecq! Read below for more about Virginie!



I'm Virginie, better known as Novalen on the web, I'm 24 and I live in the south west of France. I've been scrapbooking since November 2005 and since then I've been trying to develop my photography skills.I don't have any children so my scrapbook pages are mostly about my boyfriend and family (as i want to remember our everyday life and our feelings), and about the places I've visited, because I love to travel. I usually use bright colors (though it depends on my mood!) and I draw my inspiration from the web (scrapbooking blogs and galleries), and from all kinds of magazines (especially the ads in them).
