Lifescraps by Moira: A couple of layouts, one 8.5X11 and one 12X12

Happy Sunday to all and thanks for stopping by my little blogworld :). Well, it looks like we may have finally turned the corner and Spring may have actually sprung. It rained, and rained on Friday, it was crazy windy yesterday and today we have the sun and a forecast high of 15 deg C!!!! Wow! It looks like we may be in the teens all week - happy dance :) :) ...

How have you been? What has been going on in your part of the world? Or in your scraproom?. I started using my Scraptastic February Counting Stars kit and am having lots of fun with it. In the latter part of March, I had a cardmaking binge. I dug out my Copics, stamped away, coloured away and then made a few simple cards. It is so relaxing. I will get a blogpost up about that soon. In the meantime, I wanted to pop in a share two layouts with you today :

An 8.5X11 layout about my winter attire LOL :

I swear I looked like that every single morning, from early January to as late as last week. I am so done with the look. But I do love that big wrap around scarf my great-nieces gave me for Christmas. Our winter did start late but then was brutally cold!!! In fact, we broke records almost daily, had the dubious honour of being the coldest place on earth a couple of times during January and had the coldest winter in the last 123 years !!!! So to finally feel a little sunshine and warmth (well it is all relative LOL) is bliss!!

The supplies: Everything on this page came from the kit. I am loving the acrylic shapes we are now getting as part of the kit, as well as the exclusive pattern papers. I made those little arrow "thingies" from a branding strip. The only thing from my stash is the flair button which is very old! It was part of a pack from Studio Calico. The enamel dots may be from my stash as well.

The second layout for today is a throwback to 2006, during my backpacking trip. I am in Paris this time, relaxing and having a fun afternoon with friends :

Paris turned out to be a little bit of a hub for me during the trip since I have great friends there and had a couple of teaching assignments throughout the year. This was my last visit, for a week of teaching, in February 2006.

The supplies: Most of the product on this page comes from the Counting Stars kit but there are a few bits that were left from the previous kits - the Heidi Swapp glitter heart, the vellum "favourite moments" piece, the "lovely" sticker which comes from Shimelle's first collection. The heart enamel dots are from my stash and the numbered strip on the side of the photo is from a branding strip.

So there you have it for today!!!

My friends and family have been asking me create a place where they can see all of my layouts in one spot. I have created a facebook page just for that. You can find it here : https://www.facebook.com/lifescrapsbymoira.

I have created several albums - by Scraptastic kit, by category (cards, PL spreads, 8.5X11 layouts) and also by theme or subject. I will be adding more subjects as I go - one for each country for instance, one for the furkiddies, the garden .... I would love for you to stop on by and to "like" if you so feel inclined.

Have a lovely day my friends. Talk to you soon! Hugs xox
