Little Corner of Ania

I love it when people around me get babies! Gives me an excuse to create babycards, which I find pretty enjoyable to make…(well, once I get an idea of what exactly to create).

As always – trusty Hambly Screenprints as embellishment! This time I cut out the onesies before stapling them onto the Maya Road Twine Cording (celery green..love that color!).

Also, if you peek you’ll see three different paper manufacturers on this card; the base is made outta Fancy Pants Designs, the gorgeous blue paper’s Pink Paislee and the two in the front (on?) are authentique.

Then we have the adorable petit faon-stamp from Craft Origine, mounted on wood and stamped onto the doily. Flowers & gems from Prima by the way.

Now, have you seen? Craft Origine have added a new DT-member, Virginie Wurtz (Giniew). A creative lady with many talents and a graphic take on scrapbooking as far as I can see. Nice :)

Right. Need to create another babycard! This card was for my husbands cousin who’s like, half French (mmkay, well, her newborn boy is), now my cousin’s just got a babygirl who’s also half French. Or well, Canadian of the French speaking kind, that is. Which makes this stamp earn me brownie points with the French speaking parts of the parents. I hope!

The other day I got an email asking if I’d like to join a design-team.
One that manufactured stamps.
«Um, stamps? Me? Ehh..sure you got the right person?» I asked back, pretty confused.
Because yes, it had to be asked. I don’t see myself as a stamper, so I couldn’t fathom why someone would ask me to join a stamp design-team. Well, long story short, and after ensuring she actually knew I didn’t really stamp, and after having seen samples of her stamp-designs, I agreed to join the team. I mean – 1. It really is flattering when someone actually have checked you and your work out and still ask you to join and have faith in you (thanks Virginia!), 2. The stamps I’ve seen and tried so far are unmistakenly cute, sophisticated and vintage-y and actually stamps I wouldn’t think twice about using and 3. I’ll admit I’m curious and pretty much always up for a challenge.

So. Bring it on!
Say hello to Craft Origine stamps!

I’ll share more of my layout later when it’s on the Craft Origine-blog, but for now – here’s a peek …and yes, I stamped on it after having sewn stuff and all. I’m oh so brave (or cocky) ;p

And in the meanwhile, do say hello to the design team of Craft Origine :

• Céline Le Guay (Marianne)
• Gaëlle Fauglas 
• Karine Cazenave-Taipe

Now excuse me. I’m gonna prowl the stupid webstores waiting, longing, needing my new Eizo-screen to enter their virtual shelves so I can get myself a proper screen to edit photos in ASAP!
