Winter wishes

I send you all my warmest winter wishes to you all. What best that a robin as messenger for it! I have heard of very powerful messages by it from Scotland.

It stayed a long time after my son made his demand and my very good friend thought it was his father in law who came to approuve it. I never saw him crying as he did when I told him this story. As a french girl, I didn't know about this embodiment. Now, I look for signs.

So I made this card for my children who married in september as a symbol of a long life walking along together.

The new robin collection ribbon was perfect for this special card.

Have you some stories about robin? I am ready to hear you.

Brrr! Brrr! | Scrapbook Layout

Sarah here today with a layout using the new Silent Night ribbons. 

First I chose papers to match the ribbon and created a mixed media background using the featured colours.

I layered papers behind my snowy scene photo to match in with the feature ribbon and paper. A touch of gold vellum worked well to match the title and embellishments.

Some Ric rac ribbon in the three focal colours added some extra texture and covered the join between the background and patterned paper.

As always I finshed the layout with a splash of ink. this time using gold Color Shine to tie it altogether.

You can watch the process here on my YouTube Channel.

Thanks for joining me and have a Happy Crafty Day :)

Thanks to our Olympic athletes!

I don't know for you but I am very fond of Olympic games! Every four years, I am in front a tv wherever I am in the world. I organise my days on Olympic hours and sleep when I can!

I would like to thank all women and men who take part in this wonderful adventure. All continents joined for great times. They make me dream of a better world.

Congratulations to all with a medal or not. They can't be competitions without any of you.

I used 5mm gingham ribbon (so much colors!) for medals and 40mm gros grain ribbon under thank you word. This snowflake ribbon is from an old season but there are many others to choose.

Do you think, they could see this congratulations card in Pyeongchang ?

All my love to this great champions. 

You give us so much emotions.

THANK YOU
