Back with random stuff :D

I haven't been on here in way too long and of course, I should be showing lots of scrappy stuff, but I thought it would be fun to come back with a little list that was inspired by my scrappy friend La'Shawn!
She participated in a linky party form Shabby Blogs and I thought it was fun:

So here are 10 random things about me:

1. If you're here you probably know I LOVE digital scrapbooking, but you may not know that it's the only hobby I've ever really stuck with. I used to start lots of things and just drop them really fast (as a kid and as an adult). Digital Scrapbooking is one of only 2 things I've really connected with to the point of wanting to keep doing it.

2. Number 2 is the other hobby I've stuck with and it is YOGA! I love it: it relaxes me, keeps me flexible, grounds me, and so much more.

3. My favourite colour is teal. I could paint my walls teal, buy a teal car, get more teal shirts, ... I love it on everything. Unfortunately, my husband does not like it (finds it sad?!?)...

4. I have a weird obession with rainbows and like placing things in that order, and I can't stand when colours are not in rainbow order (when buying pencils, crayons or markers, the first thing I do when I get home is put them in proper rainbow order, which they rarely are, and ot really bothers me in a kid's book, or a digiscrap item if the order is wrong!).

5. I am a stay-at-home mom but I have a 3 undergrads and a Master's degree (a bachelor of English from France, and from Canada a bachelor of linguistics and language teaching, a teacher's degree to teach French as a second language and a Master's degree in education).

6. I read and watch all sorts of things, but I really love sci-fi and fantasy the most!

7. I have read the Harry Potter series countless times, watched the movies a good deal and I've even listened to 3 different versions of the audiobooks (the British audiobooks, the Amercian audiobooks and right now the French audiobooks).

8. Being from France but having lived in Canada for almost 14 years, I recently realized that, of all things, I miss castles!

9. My favourite meat is duck (especially in my Mom's port sauce recipe).

10. I crack a lot! Many of my joints crack, and not just the occasional "air bubble in the joint" crack, but they crack every time (stuff rubs on stuff I guess...). My right shoulder is probably the worst with 3 to 5 consecutive cracks and you can feel the ribs pop.

That was fun! Hope you enjoyed it too :D

Look who's back!

Well, me I guess, from a long enough absence from this blog...
I guess I haven't been the best CT member for the designers, sorry ladies :(

Today, though, who's back is Simple Girl Scraps. Not that she really went anywhere but the store she was at closed and so she starts the new year with 2 new stores, and awesome ones at that: GingerScraps and GottaPixel!!
And she has sales for the grand opening at both stores:

She'll also be chatting at GP to introduce herself and that's always fun, so join her if you can!

And just to show you a little bit of what's available in stores, here's the newest release Flurrious Fun (a collab with Cornelia Designs) and my LO with it:

That's it for today, but I'll try to be here more often...

Releases!

As always, I'm back to show you some awesome new releases and hopefully make you want to get them :D

In alphabetical order, let's start with Artgal Style!

She released the adorable kit Murphy:

Danimoy, oh Danimoy!!

She's back with a vengeance, and despite not having promoted her in a long time, due to my crazy summer, she's been busy!

I'll skip altogether the store she was at for a couple of months, and tell you that as of today, Danimoy Designs is back at Scrapbookbytes.

For the opening of the store, everything is 40% off for 2 weeks, and all her old kits are back, so there is a lot to choose from!!

I have lots to show you, so you get an idea of the new kits, so let's get to it :D

Her latest, brand new for the store opening is Fire and Ice:

She also released Seeing Red, which I haven't played with:

I used Genuine Grunge to scrap one of the rides at Disneyland Paris:

And Glam Grunge for a summery pic of my lil dude:

Before that, she had Let's Play:

And Sweet BBQ Rays, both great for summer photos:

And her come-back kit at the beginning of the summer was the awesome News Worthy:

Which I use to scrap the crazy fires we had in the spring in my area!

Well, that's it for all the summer releases, but there is much more in her store, go enjoy the sale!!

Simple Girl Explosion
