They are stunning, arent’t they? Hope you will join us

And a few sentences about the reason why the challenge is extended: there is some awsome event coming soon. Sooner than you think What can it be? A huge, fantastic, gorgeous, amazing and stunning party because ……   pssssst! I already said too much.

As you can see, the kit is colorful, stunning and full of lovely elements and word arts too. Ideal for making memories of this beautiful day

By the way, did you you know that there are counties where Mother’s Day is celebrated a week earlier (just like here, lol)? And that in France it is celebrated on the last Sunday of May?

Whenever you celebrate this day, hope to see your pages about it in the galleries!!!

This time it is a Bingo challenge hosted by Audrey aka Snowdropz.

have you seen that ValC Designs has an ArtBook shelve at Oscraps? Actually, this shelve is full of Art Books. What does it mean? Amazing, artsy kits to make art journaling pages.

I think art journaling is a very popular trend now in scrapbooking. I often wondered why it is (not that i have so much free time, lol). First reason may be that these pages are extremely arsty and spectacular. Just take a look at these pages:

Second, they can “compress” anything in a word, quote or word art. And this says it all.

And third: you can write about important a/o serious serious things without giving yourself to it. Artdolls or some symbols might be enough

last week a brand new kit of ValC Designs was released, named Just Crafty. I’m sure you all have treasured photos (perhaps from the past) and you have a great possibility to make stunning pages with them.

The kit is available at the Oscraps. I think the colors are so cool again. Just as always And neutral enough to fit ANY photos. So hope to see your treasured memories in the galleries.
