Calendrier 2010 Pour Sandy!

Cela plus d'un mois que j'y travaille... Mais voila le calendrier que j'ai fait pour Sandy pour Noel. Il est fini depuis le 8 decembre mais ne pouvais pas vous montrer les photos avant car Miss Sandy visite mon blog regulierement. Dite moi ce que vous en pensais moi je suis carement Jalouse qu'elle en ai un et pas moi! Cette page est la page de couverture!

For more than a one month I worked on this project… Here is the calendar that I made for Sandy for Christmas. It has been done since December 8 but could not show it to you because Miss Sandy visits my blog regularly. Let me know what you think... ME I am totally jealous that she has one and not me!!! This is the Front Cover of the calendar!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & JOYEUX NOEL!

Petit papa Noël is a French Christmas carol. As far as I know, there is no equivalent English version of this Christmas carol. The translation given here is literal.

C'est la belle nuit de Noël
La neige étend son manteau blanc
Et les yeux levés vers le ciel
À genoux, les petits enfants
Avant de fermer les paupières
Font une dernière prière.

It's a beautiful Christmas night
Snow spreads its white coat
And eyes lift toward the sky
On their knees, small children
Before closing their eyes
Say a last prayer.

Petit papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier.
Mais avant de partir
Il faudra bien te couvrir
Dehors tu vas avoir si froid
C'est un peu à cause de moi.

Little Santa Claus
When you come down from the sky
With thousands of toys
Don't forget my little stocking.
But before you leave
You should dress well
Outside you will be so cold
And it's kind of my fault.

Le marchand de sable est passé
Les enfants vont faire dodo
Et tu vas pouvoir commencer
Avec ta hotte sur le dos
Au son des cloches des églises
Ta distribution de surprises.

The sandman has passed
The children are going to sleep
And you will be able to begin,
With your sack on your back,
To the sound of church bells,
Your distribution of surprises.

Refrain

Refrain

Il me tarde que le jour se lève
Pour voir si tu m'as apporté
Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois en rêve
Et que je t'ai commandés.

I can't wait for sunrise
To see if you brought me
All the lovely toys that I see in my dreams
And that I ordered from you.

Refrain

Refrain

Et quand tu seras sur ton beau nuage
Viens d'abord sur notre maison
Je n'ai pas été tous les jours très sage
Mais j'en demande pardon.

And when you are on your beautiful cloud
Come first to our house
I wasn't always very good
But I ask for your forgiveness.

Refrain

Oh Christmas Tree...

I had to make some of my Christmas card with my brayer! I just enjoy this technique so much! Here are some that I made this season... but be sure that I'll be continuing to do some more...

Fun creating cards!

I have been making a lot of cards inspired by a worshop attended a while back. This card is somber but I just love it!
Je cree beaucoup de carte depuis que j'ai participe a une classe. Celle ci et sobre mais tres lumineuse en meme temps. Je me regale...

A card With my favorite Tree!

A Walk On The Beach

Tonight, I went for a walk.....

The many smells of the night air;
fir trees, sand, grasses and the sea
surround me in the cool, twilight breezes,
while a pure, silver-white moon rises majestically.

Stars begin to pop out like twinkling fairy lights.
The ocean murmurs and laps the shore tenderly.
Night birds, crickets and frogs fill the air
with the sounds of the night - as I walk softly.

Pleasure surrounds me as I take it all in.
My senses are alert and my eyes are full of delight.
I am a small part of the universe, problems diminish
and I know again how to drink in and feel the light.

I can't describe the rustling trees well enough to do it justice nor can I paint a good enough picture of the moonlit sea.
All I can hope to do in these words of mine
are to get across the breathtaking gladness I feel - to be me.

Just playing with my favorite color... all the different shades of H2O's to create this Christmas card.
And yes RED is my favorite color... Usually fall and Christmas are my best moment ...
I simply stamped the image in Versamark then gold embossed it. Painted with many different colors of red and gold... A little red stickles in the center on the flower gives it a nice touch, though does not show up on the picture.
I made more than 60 cards for this Christmas season and I am pretty proud to say that not two of them are the same. Hope you received yours!

Amber waves of grain

I am having a blast creating these landscape. It is so much fun to see the scenery become under your brayer! Well still having a blast!


Je m'eclate a creer ces cartes... C'est un regal de voir ces paysages se former sous mon "brayer"!
Un moment de tranquilite ou je ne pense a rien.

Il y a plusieurs semaines je suis allé prendre une classe avec Michelle Zindorf et j'ai perfectione ma technique avec le "Brayer"... Voila les cartes que nous avons faites.

Brayer and H2O Class

A couple month ago I taught a Brayer and H2O class... Here are some sample from that class...
