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.
