Scrapbooking , souvenirs and Christmas table decorations

Hello Friends!
Just showing you a Christmas table decorated table!
Little by little 😂 
I think I will slowly begin to decorate for Christmas 🎄 


This is the weather a few minutes ago, now the sky is dark and it is raining a lot.
During many years I have been doing scrapbooking 
Collecting pictures when travelling for our children 
These are my scrapbooking books. During the years I have noticed that I had to glue back in place some photos and letters, so i decided to do it today.
Yesterday, Sandie  asked me how many countries I have visited?
Well the answer is 20 countries.
But living  in France it is easy to visit European countries which are not so far and then go further.
When I was a student  we had a student  railway pass and as I loved the train I had the opportunity to travel through Europe a lot.
As I am working on my scrapbooking books, let me show you some of the pages I made.
This is about Norway and I used 3D technique
In fact I printed 3 or 4 photos, cut some pieces off and with 3D glue I superimpose the pieces I had cut to  highlight some details. I love doing that!

I did it with the boat ⛴️ it looks like if it will pop out the page!  In my childhood I had pop up books and I loved them. Maybe it’s why…
These are the Netherlands and I love the thatched house so I did it too

I love to do it with architectural details

And fun with the cows!
Another technique ( I don’t remember if I did it in a course or did it by myself??)
Looking for missing letters to glue back in place

 I will have to glue back the letters for  Canada 🍁 

We had great fun there! I have enjoyed all the countries I have visited and met beautiful people there!
Hope you enjoy your day and thank you for visiting.

  1. Dear Catherine, a few years ago I really liked the deer decorations. I see one in one of your pictures. I have deer Advent and Christmas mugs, bed linens and blankets. I also have a candle holder with it.
    I love rainy pictures, I also like your picture with the table shiny from the rainwater.
    Scrapbookings are a good idea, I have photo albums. I looked at them a long time ago. And I should!
    Hugs. Éva

  2. I'm slowly beginning to decorate for Christmas too.
    I did scrapbooks too and they are also coming apart. That's why I now do digital scrapbooks and they are printed into books. That works well for me. Your travel photos are so nice - and good memories when looking at them!

  4. I have decorated already for Christmas. Is that your BIG Christmas table?? lol
    20 countries - I am not even sure if I have visited 20 states in one country.
    I have been to Europe three times - but it really wasn't a true visit it was a rushed visit. Lucky none the less.

  7. Tienes mucha suerte de conocer tantos países, yo solo conozco 5, pero España tiene tanto para ver que ahora me dedico a conocerla toda. Me gustan tus álbumes. Besos.
