english

I'll try to add a few technical indications in English, when needed, and group them here, using a publication date in July 2021

Sorry for any spelling or grammatical errors, I used to speak English fluently, that was a long time ago!

Don't hesitate to send me your questions here

A few tips here

On Geoportail, choosing "carte IGN", you will find  good maps (much better than Google) https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/carte

it shows lots of points of interest ;   you can check whether  you want to visit them or not

This map (SCAN 25), is not supposed to be shared on Internet. I hope Geoportail will understand it's just for "advertisement" purpous and will not mind this exception. 

If you plan to share plans, please use the "plan"  (which is an Open source data)

Cirkwi is a great help, and indicates monuments near the place you plan to visit

Some cities seem to have "no existence" on Cirkwi ; you may find them on Visorando - if you want to see the maps on a full screen, it will be easier if you create your own account on their site (free)

Ma rando facile (my easy hike) proposes to bring your luggage from place to place..

Camping à la ferme

Bienvenue à la ferme

Agri Village - glamping

Gites d'étape - Overnight for hikers

In my youth, they were only dormitories for group of hikers ; now, most of them include small rooms for two or three persons. And with the Covid, most of them demand that only one group stay in a room, which means that if you are hiking on your own, you will be considered as a group, of one person.

You will find most of them here 

• gite etape.com
• rando abri
• gites refuges

some cities have their own "gite d'étape", or "gite communal", which may not be indicated in these websites.

Most of the "gites" are indicated on Geoportail map, with a green house

seen from a different point of view

Marjolijn indicates me this website :  bretagne-vakantie ; it seems very interesting

hello Marjolijn,

This is a first try to answer your question

Sorry the installation failed.   It happens sometimes and the next day - or a few hours later - everything is OK;

Maybe you can try again in a few hours ?

My best advice : register on the "CDIP Forum" https://galerie.studio-scrap.com/  : this will give you an access to the  Demande d'assistance logiciel - request for technical assistance.

I am writing your question there, so the answer may come quicker.  .. Be patient during sunday !

As soon as you are registered, you can discuss on this forum. I wrote your question in french, asking for an answer in english (or in french.. I will translate)..  The question is  Installation du logiciel version essai

************

Sorry for contacting you again. I download the (free)exe file and installed the program. But i got the message Unable to execute file C etc etc. Create proces failed Code 2. System can't find the file. Something I can do?

Thank you Marjolijn... When you download the Studio Scrap software, you can choose the English version, which will be more confortable for you I guess

You can also watch the videos - https://www.studio-scrap.com/video.html  : they are in french, but they will give you an idea about how it works.  Choose the "presentation du logiciel" to understand how it works..

You will also find some information to begin, here. I think you may choose to read my text directly in your mother language - or at least in English.. If necessary,  I will try to help you solve the difficulties...

Your templates are very beautiful and I already downloaded two files. But I have really no idea how to a file with format SCALB. Can you help me with that. Or a method to use the templates. I am familiar to use templates with format PSD (Photoshop)

Thank you Marjolijn, your message is really encouraging !

The easiest way to use my templates is  to buy the software STUDIO SCRAP. (*)  (around 30 € or 45 € for a more advanced version - you buy it once and keep it for years (untill a more recent version tempts you).

 With it, you will have access to their own templates ; you wil also use easily all the templates given on my blog.

There is also a freeware "Scribus", using SCALB format, but I don't know how it works. Information is available here or here -it seems  I had a wrong information, and I have no idea if Scribus accepts SCALB format or not.

... I hope you will not mind me asking which country you are from ?

*) Software for Windows, runs on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and Vista and on Mac with software like Parallels Desktop

Yes Marjolijn, I would be happy receive your messages, I can read English (and write to, even if I have forgotten most of my knowledge)

However, I do not answer on personnal mail adresses - just as a protection against spams..  You will be welcome here, to discuss about digiscrapbooking, Brittany, or other topics...

  Hello

If you like, or want to discover digi-scrap (picture arrangements), you will find some suggestions here. 

Studio-Scrap is an easy to use software that you can try (and purchase). I do not earn anything if you buy it, so feel free in your choices ! In this blog, you will find ready-to-use models for this software, as well as PNG masks for others, and some explanations
(mine, and links to other blogs). They are free for your personal use.

I created this blog only a few months ago, but I decided to use the calendar on a somewhat broader basis for a pleasing visit, according to me at least.

It's not a huge gallery of travel, or even of photos, but simply an invitation to scrap through short walks . The new pages will remain at the beginning of this blog for a few days and then will be added into the previous month's,  according to their subject. Click at will on the links in blue text, to discover what is hidden !

Except on this page, all the texts are in French, but the models are ready to use without needing any explanation. However, do not hesitate to request any help, I can translate some explanations into English or Spanish.

2013 and 2014 : strolls and rambles

The models are illustrated with pictures taken during some journeys here and there, in France, 

 Some pages are dedicated to the city of Tours and the Touraine , and some will lead a little bit further in Region Centre , or to the Pays de Loire,

We will visit  Brittany,  and some of its islands

and also the Perche (in Normandy), and also Paris

and we'll travell also  in the United States,  Ireland, or London

 2012: Nature

Nature itself is beautiful, so some models are just illustrated with plants and trees, or with animals.

2011: Family

For a change, I also used some family photos, first cries, first steps , childhood, teenage years  (to respect their privacy, adults are masked). Scrapping is only a game, sometimes my imagination breaks reality  !

2012: Technical hints - only in french, sorry !

All links to blogs that fascinate me, and most of the tutorials (although some remain scattered here and there), as well as links to those other scrap bookers are available on 2012.  I tried to take into account the level of difficulty :

First, some general hints, and basic information to get started with Studio Scrap and some enhancement exercises.

I also added links for some free additional softwares, easy to use, and information about the use of masks.

Finally, you will be able to create simple special effects, before tackling more impressive ones.

This page seems to be "looked at" quite often ; it's too difficult for me to make a new version as often as  I should, so there is no actualisation

If you need some information in English, and if your translator does not help sufficently, do not hesitate to send a question in the "comments", I'll try to answer you. It may not be perfectly written, but hopefully it will be helpfull.
