Gautrain - Scrap Africa Challenge no.53 - Planes, Trains and Automobiles Mood Board

Hello Everyone

We have a new challenge over at Scrap Africa here and it's a fabulous mood board.

I made a layout.

We have a highspeed train in Gauteng and hence the reason for the name Gautrain.  There was so much controversy around this rail system, while it was being built and yet it is a huge success story today.

We took the children, on a little jaunt, just after it started operating and it was a thrill for us all.

I used the gorgeous BoBunny Souvenir collection.

Joe was only 4 here...he was so very sweet! ;-)

Anyways..hopefully you can play along!

We have a yummy prize too! ;-)

Scrap It Design Studio, situated in the beautiful coastal Port Elizabeth, 

is selling a wide selection of Lifestyle Crafts, memory Box and Poppystamps dies. 

Scrap It Design Studio will soon move into a business premises in Richmond Hill 

from where the owner, Elizna Parsons, will teach classes 

and sell dies and other scrapbooking basics.

Farewell Card

Hello Everyone

I have to share this story with you.

I was asked to make a card for a colleague of mine (a guy), that is retiring at the end of the month and the workplace is holding a farewell party for him on Friday.  So I was asked to bring the card on Monday.  Over the weekend the card went straight out of my head and so Monday came and I had made no card and felt a little bad, but said I would bring it today.

This morning I woke up at 3am and it was the first thing I thought...I haven't made a card yet! I got up at 3am and made this card and then got back into bed at 4am...not that I went back to sleep!!!!

Can you believe that I could be so dilly!!!!! I was so cross with myself.! But thankfully, the card turned out okay!

So here is my 3am, masculine, farewell card.

I used BoBunny Wild Card and the Souvenir Ephemera Pack, along with some Kaisercraft stamps.
Having a collection, with matching accents etc. surely did help!

Not too bad for 3am!!!!! LOL

Have you ever done something dilly like this????

Have a super day!

Selfies - BoBunny Souvenir Collection

Hello Everyone

Have you seen the new collection from BoBunny - Souvenir? It's a gorgeous travel collection...but really is so versatile too and can be used for lots of different theme's.

I created a non-travel layout with this collection.

It is a little busier than my normal pages....but I so loved the arrows that once I started I could not stop! ;-) I like the overall effect though....so I am not unhappy with it.

I used the stickable BoBunny stencils to create the gesso-stencilled background and then did some watercolouring and stamping.

I love the chipboard and noteworthy bits from this collection.  It's a little bit retro and quite funky! Really great for fun pages.

I have some journalling on the back of the page....and it tells of our little adventure to the park, armed with the camera and a few Rand for an ice-cream. 

This is the first time I have ever taken selfies and Joe and I were both cracking up, trying to get the shot. I look quite serious though....but think this is the instant I was really trying to aim the camera in the right place! ;-) LOL

Taken any selfies lately???? ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a super evening!

Wanderlust - Mixed Media Canvas - BoBunny

Hello Everyone

A week has passed since my last post and it's hard to believe!!! What a hectic week too....
I had an all day scrap on Saturday, which I had to prepare for and believe me, really did take a lot of time...so yes, I have been creating, but was all in the background! ;-)

Today I am up on the BoBunny Blog with a mixed media canvas tutorial. I would love it if you popped along and checked it out.

Here's a little sneak peek.

I will be back with some more shares tomorrow.

Have a super Monday!
