This one was inspired by "silver annivesaries", which are 25 years together. My man and I just celebrated our 12.5 years together, so as usual I'm really impressed by people who've been together twice as long as us!!<br />
<br />

PS: Thanks to all of you who expressed concerns about my little hospital stay. It was a planned surgery, nothing serious, and everything went great. I'm like new now!

Because, yeah, you know, I don't have enough to do already! LOL After hanging out with so many amazing designers at <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/">The Digichick</a>, I was already in admiration of their talent and creativity, but now that I've given desiging a try, I'm also in awe of the HARD WORK that goes into it!!<br />
<br />
I have to admit that I'm pretty proud of my first attempts and I really enjoyed the process, and I'm really excited to share the result with you guys. So, without further wait... Let me introduce you to my very first mini-kit: You Are Golden. This mini was inspired by Golden Anniversaries, aka 50 years of wedding. FIFTY years, can you imagine?<br />

It was a loooooong time ago but since I finally have time to post, I thought it was a fun inspiration!<br /><br />A – Attached or Single? Attached, since a bit more than 12 years<br />B – Best Friend? Nanie, since we were 14.<br />C – Cake or Pie? Mmmmm... chips? I'm more a salt person!<br />D – Day of Choice? Wednesday: we're halfway through the workweek!<br />E – Essential item? A camera and a computer<br />F – Favourite Colour? Neutral colors: black, grey, white, with a touch of red, purple or turquoise to add some fun!<br />G – Gummy bears or worms? Both, I love those jelly-ish candies!<br />H – Hometown? Sion, Switzerland<br />I – Favorite Indulgence? Browsing the web mindlessly<br />J – January or July? Both, January for the snow and skiing, July for warmth and sea<br />K – Kids?

Being buried or crushed, for example by a truck.<br />Q – Quotes? The serenity prayer: "Give me the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other." And the "mantra" we practice after each yoga lesson: "Every day, on every regard, I'm feeling better and better" (crappy translation, but you get the idea!)<br />R – Reasons to smile? Too many to choose from!<br />S – Season of Choice? I love all seasons, they all have good and bad aspects!<br />T – Tag 5 people... Mmmmm, nope, I won't play on this one! LOL<br />U – Unknown fact about me? I was badly burnt on my feet when I was less than 1 year old, that's why I only walked when I was about 18 months: I couldn't use my feet for a long time!<br />V – Vegetable? Salad, radishes... which are the only veggies I can eat raw (still those darn allergies!)<br />W – Worst habit? See letter I<br />X – X ray or ultrasound? X rays freak me out with their radioactive signs, so I guess ultrasound!<br />Y – Your favorite food? See letter R<br />Z – Zodiac sign?

One of my resolutions is to revive this ol' blog of mine and use it as a way to stay in touch with the few people that don't have a FB account, first and foremost my mom and dad. That's why I'll start writing in French more often, too.<br />
<br />
<i>Bonjour à tous, et bonne année! Une de mes résolutions est de faire revivre ce bon vieux blog et de l'utiliser également pour donner des infos à mes proches qui n'ont pas de compte facebook, en premier lieu mes parents. Voilà pourquoi je vais également essayer d'écrire en français en plus de l'anglais!</i><br />
<br />
I don't want to start too fast too soon with a ginormous post about my OLW and resolutions, so I'll keep it short for today. I just wanted to share an awesome accessory I recently bought. It's a tiny investement that brought huge rewards to my photography: a remote.<br />
<br />
<i>Je ne veux pas me brûler les ailes en démarrant tout de suite avec un énorme post à propos de mon "mot de l'année" et de mes résolutions, donc je vais commencer léger pour aujourd'hui. Je voulais juste vous faire part d'un accessoire absolument génial que j'ai acheté il y a peu. C'est un investissement minuscule qui a apporté d'immenses nouvelles perspectives à ma photographie: une télécommande.</i><br />

And trust me, when I say "tiny" investement, I'm not joking: it cost 6,90€ (about 9$) since I bought a generic brand and not a Nikon one. Yet it works wonderfully and I've used it for so many projects already!<br />
<br />
<i>Et quand je dis que c'est un investissement "minuscule", ce n'est pas juste façon de parler: elle m'a coûté 6,90€ vu que j'ai acheté une sous-marque générique et pas une Nikon. Pourtant, elle fonctionne parfaitement et je l'ai déjà mise à profit pour plein de projets!</i><br />
<br />
First and foremost, it allows me to get in the frame too. For example I took this pic with "da man". We're an "old" couple, that's why I still had 2 or 3 brain cells available to press the remote despite the fact that he was kissing me and making me forget about everything around but him! ;)<br />
<br />
<i>En tout premier lieu, elle m'a permis d'être moi aussi sur la photo, comme celle-ci avec mon homme.On est un vieux couple, c'est uniquement grâce à ça que j'ai réussi à garder deux-trois neurones disponibles pour appuyer sur la télécommande plutôt que de m'abandonner totalement à ses baisers et oublier tout autour de nous! ;)</i><br />

<br />
Then I also put my camera in a corner of the room and used the remote to snap pix regularly along the evening. That was during the Christmas party at my dad's. We were a small group so it was perfect.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>J'ai aussi profité de la télécommande pour poser mon appareil photo dans un coin de la pièce et prendre des photos au cours de la soirée. C'était durant notre Noël chez mon papa. Nous étions un petit groupe, donc c'était idéal.</i><br />

Last but not least, the remote is extremely useful for night photography with a very slow shutter speed. Even if you are very careful when pressing the shutter, you have great chances to shake the camera and get a blurred pix. One possible solution is to use the delayed shutter (you press and the pic is taken 10 seconds later), but you lack control on what will happen when the photo will actually be taken. For example, a car can show up in the middle of your pic... Yuck! The remote is great here because it allows you to take the pic exactly when you want to without touching the camera!<br />
<br />
<i>Enfin, la télécommande a aussi un gros avantage pour les photos de nuit, à exposition longue. Même si vous êtes extrêmement prudent en déclenchant, il y a de bonnes chances que vous fassiez bouger l'appareil et que vous obteniez une photo floue. Une solution possible est d'utiliser le retardateur: vous appuyez sur le bouton et la photo est prise 10 secondes plus tard. Le problème, c'est que vous n'avez aucun contrôle sur ce qui se passe au moment où la photo est effectivement prise. Par exemple, une voiture peut se trouver en plein milieu de votre cadre... Beurk! La télécommande est donc parfaite dans ce cas puisqu'elle vous permet de déclencher la photo exactement au moment où vous le souhaitez sans toucher la caméra!</i><br />

Seems like I've been waiting a lot lately. Waiting for people to do their part of the job, waiting for the weather to get better so that I can do my job, waiting for my computer to process through tons of pix in raw format... Right now I'm more specifically waiting for my vacation. One week... It can't come soon enough!!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Okay, not the most amazing news ever, I know, but that's all I have for now! ;)</div>

You should have traveled aaaaaaall the way from Japan (<a href="http://lv2scrapnjp.blogspot.jp/">Holly's blog</a>) and your next stop is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MichelleBattonDesigns">Michelle Batton's FB page</a>. If you get lost along the way you can start back <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thedigichick">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.box.com/s/q4mplejmji1ydmwnqg82">My freebie</a> is a quickpage / template pack. "Template" is a bit too ambitious of a word for this, actually. I just created the chevrons and the folded frame skeleton but the rest of the page is up to you. One thing that could be fun to do is to use this big white space for title, journaling, or even a blended pic, watcha think?<br />

Just a word about the chevrons, since I'm at it! I created those as shapes and applied an inner shadow to create the "cut out effect" to them. That way, you can clip different papers to each of them (like I did in the quickpage), clip the same paper as the background one to increase the cut out look, or even ditch the inner shadow completely, apply a regular shadow and change the cut outs in paper pieces.<br />
<br />
This is truely a perfect example of how versatile digi scrapping is, and of one of my main reason for LOVING this hobby of ours!<br />
<br />
Anyway, hope you'll enjoy those goodies. Please shoot me a comment and link me up if you use those, I'd love to see your creations!!<br />
<br />

I've had good excuses for that, though, some were indeed great and some not that great.<br />
<br />
The last time I posted, I was about to start a new IVF procedure. This one went pretty well, we found the perfect dose of meds for me and it went really smoothly.<br />
<br />
Right after Bastille Day, my friend Nanie came for a one-week visit. It was fabulous to have her and her two kids around for such a long time, we really enjoyed each other's company and had time to talk and catch up. It was also my last week of treatement and I got the egg retrieval procedure in the middle of it, so she also helped me focus on something else.<br />
<br />
The day she left, we had the implantation procedure. I then spent another week off work and went back to the office for a week before my pregnancy test on August 3rd. Which came out positive.<br />
<br />
After 4 years of trying, 3 of them with various infertility treatements, I was finally pregnant. As you can imagine, I was incredibly happy.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I only last for about a month. On August 27th, we had our first ultrasound, which didn't show any cardiac activity. The embryo wasn't evolving, it wasn't even here any more. I decided to stop the pregnancy with meds rather than wait for it to happen naturally.<br />
<br />
This was probably the most terrible experience I had to go through. Not the miscarriage itself, which was uncomfortable but not that terrible, but the fact that I lost this baby. Which wasn't even a baby yet, of course. But as I said to Guy once, I wasn't 6 weeks pregnant, I was 4 years pregnant. I had been expecting, hoping, waiting for this pregnancy for so long that I was devastated to lose it.<br />
<br />
I've been having a hard time since then and I was really thankful to have the opportunity, through the fertility center, to see a psychologist. It helps to have someone neutral to talk to, and even if I know it will take time, I think I'm moving in the right direction.<br />
<br />
Through all this experience, I've been blessed to have amazing people around me to support me, comfort me, pray for me and send me good thoughts. Guy, of course, has been amazing. My family, my friends and my online friends have been fabulous. I couldn't have gone through all that without them and I'm really thankful for those amazing people.<br />
<br />
Since the miscarriage, I've changed. It made me reconsider things that I thought were important, I lost interest for some things and found passion for other. For example, I've been more and more interested about photography. I also started yoga and, even if I only went to one lesson, I love it. This perfect mix of mindfulness and letting go is exactly what I need right now. Without even mentioning the serenity and peace you feel during the class and after! So, yeah, I'm evolving, growing, changing, hopefully for the better. I wish I wouldn't have to, though!Chloéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06933053360258498652noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344485370643871150.post-87601150042081087752012-06-24T19:23:00.000+02:002012-06-24T19:23:09.190+02:00Another month has come and gone...... and I failed at keepin this blog up to date. Again. There's just too much going on in my life and in digi world for me to manage it. At least that's my story and I'm sticking with it! ;)<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #741b47;">Bonjour, visiteurs francophones! Je vous invite à passer à la fin de ce post pour quelques mots dans notre langue natale! ;-)</span></i><br />
<br />
So what happened since <a href="http://chloefrance.blogspot.fr/2012/05/photo-heavy-catch-up.html">my last update</a>? Let's see... My main news is definitely infertility-related: we'll have our second IVF attempt this July, and I got all the papers yesterday. This should happen during the week that my BFF Steph will spend here in vacation. She'll come to visit with her boyfriend Daniel, her almost-6-years-old son Tristan and her 2 1/2 yo daughter Ambre. <span style="background-color: white;">It's both good and bad, good because it'll help me not get too crazy about the IVF thing, and bad because I won't be able to fully enjoy their presence, carry the kids, walk too much, etc. But even though I won't be fully participating in everything, I'm determined to enjoy this week. Then in early August, my dad and his girlfriend will come for a visit. And after that, if I can travel safely (=if I'm not pregnant), I will go to see my grandparents and mom. Pfew, this will be a fun summer! :D</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Talking about fun, I've had a bit of a mojo-less time recently but I've still managed to scrap quite a bunch of pages. Here are the one I created since my last update. As I already did in my previous post, I'll just link them to my gallery so that I don't have to explain all of them. They are all created with TDC goodies.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">This last one is very special since I created it with Jenn's images and story for </span><a href="http://thedailydigi.com/play-it-again-smarty-pants/" style="background-color: white;">The Daily Digi's Play It Again feature</a><span style="background-color: white;">. They request LOs from several scrappers to have a variety of styles with the same basic "material" (pix, journaling, etc.). It's incredibly fun to see how everyone's creativity is expressed in a different way. One thing that was very surprising to me was that I highlighted a different photo (the one with the two boys) than everyone else (most scrappers focused on the beautiful pic where he's looking straight at the camera). I think that tells a lot about what I love in scrapbooking: it celebrates love and relationships and my favorite pictures and stories are always the ones where peoples are shown happy together.</span><br />

It goes without saying, I was also thrilled to be featured in a TDD post. This site is a monument in my digi world and seeing my name up there, next to some of the most fabulous scrappers of this community, made me incredibly proud!<br />
<br />
If you made it that far in this ginormous post, congrats and thank you!! LOL Before I'm gone (hopefully not for another month!), let me just say a word for my French visitors...<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: magenta;">Bonjour et bienvenue, amis de France! Si vous arrivez sur ce blog depuis le monde du scrap papier, je vous souhaite également la bienvenue du "côté obscur de la force", à savoir le scrap digital que je pratique depuis plus de 6 ans déjà! J'espère que, malgré mes (longues) déblatérations en anglais, vous aurez plaisir à découvrir mon petit coin de web. J'écris dans la langue de Shakespeare car la plupart de mes scropines sont américaines. C'est ce qui arrive quand on a commencé sa carrière de scrappeuse dans un site anglophone! A l'époque (tout début 2006), il faut dire que le scrap digital n'était pas si répandu et il n'y avait rien en français. Le site en question est <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/">The Digichick</a>, si vous voulez découvrir le scrap digital, faire quelques challenges et rejoindre une communauté hyper sympa (c'est pour moi presque une famille), vous savez où vous devez aller. Je fais partie de la Creative Team du site (ainsi que de plusieurs designeuses) et le lien vers ma galerie est <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/gallery/showgallery.php?ppuser=5144&username=chloe">ICI</a>. Si vous préférez le scrap ou les loisirs créatifs hybrides, je vous conseille le site-soeur de TDC, <a href="http://www.thehybridchick.com/">The Hybrid Chick</a>. Une mine d'inspiration même si, comme moi, on ne fait que regarder. Promis, un jour, j'arrêterai d'avoir peur de la colle et des ciseaux!</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: magenta;">N'hésitez pas à me laisser un petit commentaire et/ou un lien vers votre blog, je vous lirai avec plaisir! Et si vous avez des questions, je suis votre homme... enfin, votre femme! A bientôt j'espère!</span></i></b><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>Chloéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06933053360258498652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344485370643871150.post-82139687385312175282012-05-20T13:15:00.000+02:002012-05-20T13:15:59.706+02:00Photo-heavy catch up7 weeks since my last post... That was quite a break, wasn't it? Let's see, what happened since I last wrote on this poor neglected blog of mine??<br />
<br />
Well, first I had my mom visit me for Easter. We had a blast, we visited some places but also spent some time just being together, doing nothing special but talking and enjoying being together. It was awesome!!<br />
<br />
In April I also prepared an album in memory of our friend Hugues that passed away recently, and we gave it to his wife and son during a lunch we had all together. It was a bittersweet task for me, sad because every picture of him reminded me that he is gone and that his son (DBF's childhood friend) and wife (my collegue) are grieving and in pain, and joyful too because those pix were from happy moments and Hugues was definitely someone that enjoyed life. It was also a great reminder that there's no such thing as taking too many pix, that I should get in the photo too (there was no pic of me with Hugues) and that scrapbooking and preserving memories is not a regular hobby, that it has a deep meaning.<br />
<br />
Since I'm at it, I've been scrapping a lot of pages since my last post. Let's see... I'll just post them with a link to my gallery so that you can check the credits and the description of the LOs if you're interested, there are too many pages for me to explain everything again! LOL<br />

In other scrappy news, I'm now CTing for three awesome teams: site CT at <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/">The Digichick</a> (and I not only love love love the designers and talented CTs there but also the awesome comunity), <a href="http://scraporchard.com/market/Amanda-Heimann/">Amanda Heimann</a> (who moved back to Scrap Orchard on NSD) and <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Charm-Box-Studios/">Charm Box Studios</a> (Charla and Michelle joined their talents to create fonts, story boards, actions and other tools for photographers and scrappers). It's so exciting, but I have to find a way to organize my time and keep track of my assignements, because I'm honored to scrap for those amazing designers and I want to do it "right". It's still a work in progress!<br />
<br />
On that note, I'm off to enjoy our beautiful and sunny Sunday, have fun!Chloéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06933053360258498652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344485370643871150.post-74881884742495106372012-04-01T23:16:00.002+02:002012-04-18T18:51:08.374+02:00Scrappy Sunday... with only one LO!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, as I planned, this week has been pretty busy and hectic, and I hadn't much time to scrap. I still enjoyed one of TDC's challenge, though, a template one, for which I created this fun layout using Gratitude by Flutter Expressions:</div>

I can't link you to the kit since Katherine moved to One Story Down that just opened a new shop.<br />
<br />
Lots of movement recently @ TDC: Nicole Seitler passed the rolling pin (LOL) to Sinead Turner who is now the new owner of the site. She's a fabulous gal and I'm sure she'll rock. Nicole chose to focus on her designing work and is now one of SSD's new designers, along with Mari Koegelenberg. It's sad to see those girls go but I'm sure once everything settles down it'll be for the best. Change is hard on me, though. That's life, I guess!<br />
<br />
On a more joyful note, my mom is coming this week for Easter, and I can't wait to have her here with me for 5 days. She was here for the last time in 2006... Can you believe it?? That being said, I probably won't be able to scrap much until she goes back home, but I'll take lots of pix for later scrapping! Sometimes, you have to create the memories rather than record them, right?<br />
<br />
Have a nice week!Chloéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06933053360258498652noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344485370643871150.post-36359707984302293202012-03-25T20:41:00.002+02:002012-03-25T21:28:25.736+02:00Scrap SundayLots of new fun scrap stuff this week, but not many LOs. And lots of IRL stuff, not fun at all (a dear friend of ours, DBF's godfather and husband of one of my collegues, passed away), which also explains why I haven't scrapped as much. Sometimes you just have to sort your priorities, right?<br />
<br />
I've still scrapped a couple pages, though! Here they are.<br />
<br />
First a LO created with Etc. by Danyale's new release "<a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Renewal-Kit.html">Renewal</a>". Very springy, very fun, gorgeous colors and textures... plus a cute pic of yours truely when I was 2 or 3 years old.<br />

And a second page about DBF and I using the collab <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/A-Charmed-Life.html">"A Charmed Life"</a> by Cluster Queen Creations and Amy Stoffel. Very fun kit, full of great papers and fabulous elements, I loved it!<br />

That's it for this week. As I said, too much is going on and I can't focus on everything at the same time. I will be busy this week at work too, so I'm not sure I'll be able to scrap much. When I spend my day at the computer, I don't really feel like being in front of a monitor again at night. Plus I hope my mom will come for Easter so I have to organize my house too so that we can comfortably have a guest. I will try to catch up on my P365 LOs, though, so that I can at least share those next week. Until then, take care and have fun!Chloéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06933053360258498652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344485370643871150.post-85013005855469442092012-03-24T08:40:00.000+01:002012-03-24T08:42:21.411+01:00I'm a marathoner<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Yep, even though I was 12 the last time I ran for more than 5 minutes in a row, I'm a marathoner. I even run three marathons at a time: weight loss, organisation and infertility. When I started those journeys, I expected them to be sprints. I expected to get pregnant like most of my friends, within months of trying. I expected I would get my house, my schedule and above all my bad habits under control in a snap. I expected I'd get rid of the extra weight after a couple weeks of exercising and eating right.<br />
<br />
But all the journeys take more than just some weeks of effort, at least the journeys that are worth the trip. I'm hanging there, and even though some days are better than the other, I try to remind myself that what matters is the long run. I know that, despite the bumps along the road, the trip will be worth it. The rewards will be fabulous. And starting those journeys is half the victory, especially for weight loss and organisation. I'm doing much better on those two than if I'd never done anything, right? They are probably lifelong journeys, I will probably never be able to say "I'm done, I'm at my goal, I don't need to pay attention to this.", but it's okay.<br />
<br />
Just like marathoners, I should be careful to keep a good rythm all along the run. If you sprint at times and walk at other, it's much harder and you feel much more tired. You lose your breath, you feel bad, you get in pain. Consistency is the key here. What makes the "infertility marathon" different is that you don't control your rythm, the fertility center and your body do. This is what makes it much harder: you can't control some things, while you can control other (like weight loss) I have to focus on those and let go of the rest which is not in my own hands.Chloéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06933053360258498652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344485370643871150.post-45513963758119512332012-03-20T09:30:00.000+01:002012-03-20T09:30:01.749+01:00Lent My Way weeks #1, #2 and #3<br />
(check <a href="http://chloefrance.blogspot.com/2012/02/lent-my-way.html">this post</a> to find out more about this project)<br />
<br />
On the first week we focused on our office, more specifically on DBF's desk. He had a terrible mess and most of it is gone. It feels great.<br />

I'm always amazed how a little neatness and decluttering can have such a great impact on how you feel when you look at that space: it's so fresh, so light now! Bliss!<br />
To make things even better I would have liked to take care of my desk and bookcase too, but unfortunately I didn't find / make time for that, so I will try to tackle this during this month.<br />
<br />
I then started a new room: the bathroom. It's very very tiny and I was able to declutter it all during the weekend.<br />

I got rid of old products that I kept for some reason (don't ask me what this reason was!), checked the expiration dates of all our meds and prepared a bag to bring back to the drugstore, I prepared my vanity for the few trips that I make, etc.<br />
<br />
Finally, last week I worked in the bedroom, especially our closet. Look at all the clothes I got rid of:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">There were at least 15 or 20 pieces that didn't fit me and that I<br />packed to bring to a charity. Look at all those hangers!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Ain't it great? Those were too small for me since I gained so much weight over the last years. Even if I lose 30 lbs one day and CAN get back in those, will I really WANT to?? I don't think so! It was time for me to pass on those clothes to a charity so that someone that fits in them can enjoy them.<br />
<br />
So far, it's been great. I have to fight my natural tendency to perfectionism and remind myself constantly that doing something is great already, and that all this mess didn't appear overnight and can't hence disappear all of a sudden. It's hard sometimes but it's getting easier and I've taken the habit to celebrate those victories, no matter how small they are.<br />
<br />
This week, I am working on the kitchen. I especially decluttered my recipe books that I never ever use. I will also work on practicing my routines, I'm tired to have a big huge mess to take care of before the cleaning lady comes on Thursday, when it's so easy to do a little every day. Maintenance is the key to housework happiness, I tell you!Chloéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06933053360258498652noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344485370643871150.post-42955341181946515582012-03-18T20:39:00.000+01:002012-03-18T22:33:54.459+01:00New scrap pagesOnce again, the <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/New-Releases/">new releases</a> at TDC blew my mind. So much gorgeousness, the hardest part is to pick which products to play with! ;)<br />
<br />
First, I created this page about my little brother coming after my mom with water... You'd better hide the camera, mom! I used a new kit and its add-ons by the guest designer ForeverJoy called <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Oh-Boy-Bundle.html">"Oh Boy!"</a>, perfect for this playful LO.<br />

Then I used the bright and fun birthday kit <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/And-Many-More.html">"And Many More"</a> by Cluster Queen Creations to scrap DBF's 42nd b'day. As I said, he is 42 going on 13! LOL<br />

Last LO with this thursday's releases, a page about my love for Harry Potter. Thanks to my collegue Pascale I read the books last fall and I fell in love immediately. I used Elise Hansen's <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Well-Read.html">"Well Read"</a> for this page, the glasses were too perfect for a Harry Potter LO to pass, right?<br />

And now, 3 more LOs / projects that I created recently, but that didn't use new releases. First a P366 LO (I'm 2 weeks late on this, but trying to catch up!), that uses the february TDC collab <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/A-Love-Story.html">"A Love Story"</a>:<br />

That's it for this week, I hope you enjoyed this little tour of my recent scrapping projects!Chloéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06933053360258498652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344485370643871150.post-40299399505590279842012-03-04T21:58:00.003+01:002012-03-12T18:50:27.225+01:00Scrappy SundayFirst, a great news: my guest gig for TDC's CT became permanent! I'm so honored and happy to become a member of this fantastic group of ladies. They are so talented and inspiring and sweet! I had a big smile on my face and (literally) did the happy dance when I got the e-mail asking if I wanted to stay. Had to stop my hands shaking just long enough to answer YES!!! LOL<br />
<br />
Anyway, I've had the pleasure to keep scrapping with the fabulous goodies from our designers and that's why you will still see many pages every week! Since I'm back to work I didn't scrap as much as I did the weeks before, but I was still pretty busy. Here are my most recent pages. First one using the March collab, "Someone Like You", that I created for the challenge I'm hosting this month.<br />

And last but not least, two of my favorite designers, Amanda Heimann (for whom I CT) and Nicole from Sugarplum Paperie, united their talents to create a fabulous collab called "My Strength". It's gorgeous, as we could expect from those ladies, and I had a blast creating this LO:<br />

As you can see, I was supposed to work on respecting myself this month, but I will exchange this with July. That way my Lent resolution will be coherent with the rest of the month's resolutions. I will also focus on my routines (I really need to get back at this!) and on tackling a little something extra for 15 minutes each day. As FlyLady always say: "You can do anything for 15 minutes." Here's my plan for this month:<br />

On that note, I'm off to start working in the bathroom and on creating my list! Take care!!Chloéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06933053360258498652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344485370643871150.post-27566913868581596602012-02-29T10:30:00.000+01:002012-02-29T10:35:37.743+01:00Lent... my wayI'm not a religious person, and even though DBF was raised catholic he doesn't believe in this religion (or any, for that matter) anymore. All that to say: we don't follow the catholic events and rituals.<br />
<br />
Yet, las week, I was thinking about was Lent means. For most people here, it's a time when they deprive themselves of something they love (chocolate or sweets, 90% of the time!), but without thinking WHY they do it. I think the meaning of this time of the year is deeper than just not eating chocolate for 40 days, though. As I see it, it's a time to let go the material, superficial distractions to turn your thoughts and your spirit, to focus on something more important, more spiritual. To me, this more important spiritual thing isn't God, but it doesn't mean that I can't be inspired by this idea. So I decided to create my own version of Lent.<br />
<br />
The material thing I want to let go of is the clutter, that distract me of the happy, fulfilling, enjoyable and easy-flowing life I aspire to have. I did my math and there are 6 weeks until Easter, so I decided to work on one room of our house each week. I started this weekend with our office and we tackled DBF's desk. It was a mess and now it's decluttered, cleaned and so... light! I don't know how to say it, but it feels like fresh air. I also completed a couple administrative/design tasks for his business, like creating his business cards, and that feels great as well. Really motivating to then work on the rest of the office and the rest of the house. Here's my plan for the coming weeks:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>February 25-March 2: office</li>
<li>March 3-9: bathroom (especially our stock of products and our med cabinet)</li>
<li>March 10-16: bedroom (especially our closets... a terrible mess!)</li>
<li>March 17-23: kitchen (especially our pantry and recipe books)</li>
<li>March 24-30: living room (especially our coffee table and entertainement center)</li>
<li>March 31-April 5: ex-office (aka the dungeon... I'm sure I won't be able to tackle this whole room in a week but hopefully I'll get a good start and build momentum to keep working at it)</li>
</ul>
<div>
So, there you have it. I definitely not plan to complete each room perfectly, especially since I'll be working mostly during the weekends, but already getting a small area uncluttered, or getting a couple tasks checked off my to-do list for each room, will be a relief!</div>

This LO uses a kit by Karen Lewis. She is leaving TDC at the end of this month and all her designs there are 50%. I'm sad to see her go because she's an amazing designer (and a sweet lady) but the big sale is exciting, isn't it?<br />

The next one is this LO using Viva Artistry's kit "Lost World". I made it for a challenge @ TDC and I was really happy to get out of my comfort zone with these gorgeous realistic-looking goodies. I'm not so good at that style usually but I really liked how this LO turned out. I guess I should try it more often!!<br />
