"Hello Life" LO by DT Marie

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

Today's inspiration is from our Designer Marie.

Take a look at her wonderful layout:

Here's what Marie said about her layout, 

"Usually I tend to freely interprets sketches. But for once, I tried to stay close to this one, and I didn't use any medium on my layout! I like to do it once in a while as I'm still a big fan of traditional scrapbooking. I love using patterned papers to create an harmonious layout.

From the Pick Lists, I chose Desert (Kraft and desert are pretty similar, right?)

I also picked the envelop, one as a badge (this one was too easy!), but I also created one that is tucked behind my pictures.

Finally, I went with flowers, since they are my favorite embellishments."

Here's another look at the challenge:

Introducing Returning Designer, Marie Claude Rodier

Happy Monday everyone!!!
This week we are pressing forward wit our Design Team instroductions.
Today we would like for you all to join us in welcoming back returning designer,

Marie Claude Rodier
We are honored Marie decided to stay for another term
to share her beautiful creations with us.  

"My name is Marie Claude Rodier, aka Nini on most virtual forums. 

I’m a wife to a really nice man and mom to two very dynamic and smart boys of 5 and almost 8. 

We live in a small suburb near Montreal in Québec, Canada. I’m working in translation, trying to find the best French expressions and words that translate English concepts. I love to solve complex linguistic puzzles every day.

When I’m not working, I’m either cooking special recipes for my little ones or in my scrap room creating new layouts. I’ve started scrapbooking not long after my oldest son's birth, in 2008. I took a break for a few years (life could get really busy with a full time job and young kids!!!) and came back to scrapbooking in 2011. 

I’ve been totally committed to this hobby ever since. It became a real passion and sometimes an obsession!"

Take a look at the gorgeous layout Marie created inspired by the
July Book Inspired Stash Challenge:

"Love"

Marie:

"I was mainly inspired by the colors. I chose a clean & simple layout to let this beautiful picture of my oldest son and me be the main attraction. I stamped, lighthly painted and cut the flowers and placed them around the picture to create a kind of flower bed."

Here's a look at the challenge.

"Today" Layout by DT Marie

One of the great things about having a diversely, talented design team is that
I'm constantly inspired by their ideas.
Today Designer Marie shares her gorgeous layout

inspired by the 

June Book Inspired Stash Challenge:

Marie:

"Of course I had to use a picture of my husband with this book cover inspiration. He is a wonderful dad to our 2 little boys. 

My starting point was the pops of yellow. I used several shades of yellow, from pale to dark, combined with ocre and brown. I added flower lace, metal embellishments, enamel dots, teinted chipboards and cheese cloth. I really like the vintage feeling and look of this layout. It's fun to get out of our comfort zone once in a while."

"Love" Layout by DT Marie

Another day of beautiful 

May Book Inspired Stash Challenge 

inspiration to share with you.

Today's lovely layout is the creative work of talented

SOS Designer Marie

Marie:

"Once again this month, our book cover inspiration is absolutely stunning! The colors, the scenery, everything is gorgeous! I love, love it!!!

While I was searching my stash for a landscape picture, I found this tiny little picture of New York I took long time ago but never get the opportunity to scrap. Well, well... that day had finally come! Since my picture is mainly black, I've decided to use the color scheme from the book cover to balance my layout. I used a piece of cheese cloth, flowers, rub-ons, thread and crystals as embellishments."
