If only us humans didn't need to sleep. I love my sleep but at times like this it just seems like such a waste of time:) It is time for my next post at <a href="http://blog.majadesign.nu/2014/08/memories-like-this/" target="_blank">Maja Design</a> and here it is. My gorgeous daughter and her awesome fiancee Justin. I am so honoured to be able to arrange their upcoming wedding in October and there is still soooo much to do!! Time is short, short, short now!! So exciting!!<br />

All the stamping on this page was done with Kaisercraft Clear Stamps.<br />

When I started this layout I was very inspired by a Sketch from Sketchabilities but unfortuantely it went horribly wrong and this is how it ended up :) <br />
<br />
And with this I am going to love and leave you until next time.<br />

Gosh, I feel like a stranger to my own blog :( It's been such a long time since I visited my little space here that I can barely remember how to do this bloggy thing. I'll just have to wing it as I did with my first scrapbook page in over a year and just hope for the best. Last night I was not a very happy camper when I went to bed. I was irritated, angry, frustrated and so disappointed in myself because I just couldn't get my page to even remotely look balanced or even slightly acceptable for that matter. I woke up this morning and somehow it all kind of came together after I literally spread all my stash all over the floor. It was like Christmas all over again and I felt like I met up with lots of long-lost friends and new friends too because even though I didn't scrap during this past year, I still collected a few new little items here and there. It was rather exciting. I guess the saying "once an addict, always an addict" is so true :) I am still undergoing treatment and still have a few months to go and that is okay because you know what? I will get to see my daughter walking down the aisle on her daddy's arm. A year ago I thought that I may never see that day. Now, besides my daughter's wedding, I can only hope that everything is going to be okay so I will get to see my grandchildren some day too :) I am eternally grateful for all the wonderful support I've had and am still having from my family and friends. You just cannot do cancer on your own. I've always thought of myself as a very strong person but cancer has a way of bringing you down a notch or two and that is when you actually realize how fragile life is and how vulnerable we really are. But, enough of that now... <br />
<br />
I made this layout as my first project for <a href="http://majadesign.nu/" target="_blank">Maja Design</a> after a long leave of absence. It is wonderful to be back there. Thanks so much for dragging me back here Jenny. If not for you I would still not be scrapping and I would still not remember how much I loved it and still do :) This beautiful girl in the photo is my darling daughter Heidi. Yes I am biased and I am allowed to be ...hahaha!! <br />

Here are a few close-ups of my page:)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The flowers and the brick stamp is from Prima. The little wispy bits you see amongst the flowers are just pieces of paper which I sliced super-thin and that way you achieve a natural sort of curl. The peachy ribbon flowers came out of my stash and goodness knows where I got them from. The branches were cut with a die from Memory Box called "Woodland Branch" and I got all these yummy items from my special friend Merle at <a href="http://scrapcardboutique.co.za/" target="_blank">Scrap and Card Boutique</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o0FE9rX3D2o/U8FzLdBDoAI/AAAAAAAABVU/s3VS3suNyVA/s1600/Close-up+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o0FE9rX3D2o/U8FzLdBDoAI/AAAAAAAABVU/s3VS3suNyVA/s1600/Close-up+2.jpg" height="307" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />

<br />
<br />
The beautiful leafy circle is also from Memory Box called "Tupelo Circle" and I adorned it slightly with some Perfect Pearls. Both butterflies are stamps from Marianne Design called Eline's Huis. I stamped them, cut them out and stuck it on. The title work is done with clear stamps fromChiswick and the stamp on the corner of the photo is a tiny little Prima stamp.<br />
<br />
The little circles above and to the bottom left of the photo (sorry, I forgot to take a close-up of them) is just a little bottle top I saw lying on my shelf and I grabbed it, dabbed on some ink and stamped it on the page and stuck a drop of Perfect Pearls inside the little circles. I liked it:)<br />
<br />
This page is also my entry for the July challenge at <a href="http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/july-2014-challenge-15-light-airy-mood.html" target="_blank">Scrap Around The World</a>. I was very much inspired by the little photo on the top left. The colour in Heidi's scarf is almost a perfect match to the colour of that beautiful little chest of drawers:)<br />

And that my friends, is my story for today:) Now, I just need to keep on scrapping so my mojo can start flowing and if all goes well, I will see you again real soon :) The last few days have been absolutely freezing here but I love the cold weather right now. So for those of you experiencing winter in all its' glory, keep warm, be happy and take care. :) xxxCathy Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11280130293215172838noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853836368491111730.post-10344903005377638802013-07-20T09:28:00.001+02:002013-07-20T09:28:37.816+02:00Delta<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A very good morning to all my friends :) This is my darling teddy bear Rottweiler Delta. She's never too sure about a camera aimed at her but because she is always so ready to please, she patiently puts up with me for as long as it takes to get the deed done...lol!!

Hello ladies :) Here is another project done for <a href="http://blog.majadesign.nu/" target="_blank">Maja Design</a> as guest CT member for July. I tell you, I will never get enough of these beautilicious paper. I just love how so many of the collections mixes and matches so beautifully. I also took the opportunity to use Jules' beautiful June sketch over at <a href="http://www.thepaperhaus.com/2013/05/june-sketch-couple-of-days-early.html" target="_blank">Paperhaus</a>.<br />
<br />
Here is a close-up of the large flower I made and I used a lovely <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/330733166355585428/?e_t=68f38eba81ee4e97b3d905f5a6de702d&e_t_s=pin-text&utm_source=sendgrid.com&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=share_pin_user" target="_blank">Shabbychic loop flower</a> tutorial sent to me by my lovely friend Miri. These flowers are so incredibly easy to make and I just love them. I used a piece of thin cotton fabric and just coloured it with distress ink in Victorian Velvet.<br />

The little Victorian dressing table ws just coloured with water colour pencils and then I just gave it a little bit of crackle treatment and I'm still in two minds as to whether I should have put it on this page or not but now it's too late to change my mind. The golden circles was done with Deco Arts Metallic Paint.<br />
<br />
Here are the gorgeous papers I used.<br />

Hello there friends:) I have once again been honored with a guest spot at Maja for the month of July and I created this layout for the July mood board over at <a href="http://blog.majadesign.nu/" target="_blank">Maja Design</a>. The mood board is based on Maja's <a href="http://majadesign.gulkommunikation.se/products/antligen/life-by-the-sea-p/" target="_blank">Life By The Sea</a> collection. The photos in the mood board is of Marie's family taken on the Swedish West Coast and as Jenny says, it's a pure sea mood board to make you long for that kind of life. So inspiring....:) The two very special people in my photo is my darling daughter and her fiancee Justin at Cape Vidal on the North Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa.<br />

Hi there friends!! Hope that those of you who celebrated Father's Day yesterday, had a wonderful day :) Meet Rolo, my darling daughter's chocolate Labbie:) This is my entry for the June challenge over at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5853836368491111730#editor/target=post;postID=1482981131524324280" target="_blank">Flourish With A Bling</a>.

It's the most awful windy day here today and there are so many dust clouds everywhere that I cannot even see the ocean from my patio..perfect day to close the doors and start another project. I had every intention of going to the nursery to buy some pretty plants but I'll put that off until tomorrow...hopefully:) Have a lovely day, keep warm and thank you for the visit !!<br />

Hello my friends:) I love the beginning of every new month because it means there are new challenges out there and you must have guessed by now that I just love challenges:0 it isnpires me and gives me a lovely kickstart to a new project :) The second challenge is out at <a href="http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Scrap Around The World</a> and Helen is doing an amazing job here!! There's a beautiful sketch and a fabulous moodboard to get your creative juices flowing so go on and have a peek and I guarantee you're going to be hooked! Here is the challenge:)<br />

I was inspired by the colours of the books and old paper and dictionary paper and print came to mind and I ended up using a combination of my favorite colors:) The photo? My most favorite little family in the whole world:) Love these three special people with my whole heart, being and soul:) <br />

I used the following papers by Maja Design:<br />

Hi there!! Me again!! This is my entry for the May Challenge at <a href="http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Once Upon A Sketch</a> in collaboration with <a href="http://berry71bleu.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Berry71bleu</a> and I managed to complete it with just a few hours to spare..lol!! The theme of the challenge is to use a number on the project and what that particular number means to you. So, I added the month and year just below my title. This month , May 2013, would be exactly two years since my sister, hubby and Isabella left South Africa to pursue a better and safer life in another country and this move was mainly for the sake of Isabella as there is not much of a future for the youth in this country anymore. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I miss that little family :( The journaling s inside a little envelope which is tucked behind the photo on the left of the layout :) The chipboard required in the challenge by <a href="http://berry71bleu.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Berrybleu71</a> is a decorative chipboard circle which I painted white. And with that I guess it concludes my entry...lol!! Here is Nadia's wonderful sketch:<br />

Hi there friends :) It's been a while since I have posted but I took some time out to spend with hubby as I haven't seen him in almost three months!! Anyways, this is what I've been busy with lately. I made this egg holder for my daughter who's getting married in February 2014 and she is furiously setting up home and is so excited by the prospect of being Mrs Watson in very near future :) She has the most AMAZING big farm kitchen and this paper was absolutely made for this project I had in mind. I used Graphic 45 French Country Collection Promenade #4500630 and I sooo regret not buying more of this paper. I could have made all sorts of matching little things for her kitchen :( Thanks for having a little look-see :) I always appreciate a visit from you :) Till later!! xxxCathy Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11280130293215172838noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853836368491111730.post-35270527936078962722013-05-13T09:16:00.000+02:002013-05-13T09:16:39.695+02:00Vincent<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi there friends :) Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day and were spoilt rotten :) Today I am sharing with you a layout done for the challenge over at <a href="http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Scrap Around The World</a>. This is a new challenge site so hop on over and check it out. I enjoyed working with the sketch and was very inspired by the colours in the moodboard. For a change I felt like getting away from flowers and frilly things, so when I do a male layout I sure need all the inspiration I can get as I find it extremely difficult :). Well, that's all for today:) Have a wonderful week!!<br />
<br />
Till next time!!<br />

Hello friends :) This is my last project for<a href="http://blog.majadesign.nu/" target="_blank"> Maja Design</a> as guest for April. It was a wonderful month and I really want to tank Jenny and the Maja team for having me. I tell you girls, once you have worked with these papers you'll be as hooked as I am!! :) I just love this little photo of my darling niece Isabella...she was still so little and my heart aches every time I look at her photos. I especially love the way she always put her little hands together :) Miss this little girl so much...time to plan another trip to Australia :) I made this layout using the following colelction of papers:<br />

The little butterfly at the top is from Imaginarium Designs and I have no clue where the other chippies came from. I really need to take better note of my products as I usually throw the packaging away once everything is in it's designated place.:(<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for looking and have a wonderful weekend!!<br />

Hi friends!! I have another project to share with you which I did for <a href="http://blog.majadesign.nu/" target="_blank">Maja Design</a> and I'm feeling rather sad that my month as guest is almost over :( I am loving each and every one of these papers and I would just like to mention to my South African friends that these papers are available from <a href="http://merlescrafts.co.za/content/?page_id=3206" target="_blank">Scrap and Card Boutique</a> . Merle has a lovely selection of Maja Papers. The little lady in the photos is as most of you know by now, my sweet Miss Molly. The two of us are joined at the hip :) If you're curious to know how I made the beaded flowers on this layout, I have done a little tutorial which you will find at the end of this post. I have no idea what flowers they are so I kind of invented a name for them and called them "Beaded Delphiniums"..lol!! They look so cute if you do them in blue because then, at a glance they really do look like little Delphiniums.:) AND they are super easy to make. Yes, I know that Delphiniums don't hang downwards and they are not viny either but in the scrapping world we don't care, do we?? LOL!! Oops, almost forgot to give Vicky Alberto credit for teaching me how to make the white flowers with her wonderful tutorial which you can find <a href="http://simplypaperandcreativity.blogspot.ca/2013/02/tutorial-versatile-flowers.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Whilst mine are not nearly as pretty as Vicky's, I just love them and loved making them :) Thank you Vicky...your flowers are just awesome :)x<br />

Here is the littlle tutorial as promised. Should you give it a try, please send me a link to your layout so I can admire your beautiful little "Delphiniums"...lol!<br />

Wire<br />
Florists tape<br />
Seed beads (colour of your choice)<br />
Glue gun<br />
Wire Cutter<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 1.</b></u><br />
Cut a few pieces of wire in different lengths.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gpW7WmPJCrk/UWpUwBUd5JI/AAAAAAAABK4/wBHFjohC3bg/s1600/Step+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gpW7WmPJCrk/UWpUwBUd5JI/AAAAAAAABK4/wBHFjohC3bg/s400/Step+2.jpg" width="301" /></a></div>
<br />
<u><b>Step 2</b></u>.<br />
You now have to work relatively fast as hot glue dries very quickly. Heat up the glue gun. Take one strand of wire and adhere hot glue to one end of the strand. It looks very "blobby", but don't worry about that. I covered about 3.5cm with hot glue.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 3.</b></u><br />
While the glue is still hot, dip it into your little bowl of seed beads and twirl it around so the beads can cover all the glue.<br />

<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 4.</b></u><br />
Whilst the glue is still warm, press the beads firmly into the glue using your fingers. If you find that not all the spots are covered, you can always just add an extra little bit of glue on those spots and then dip it back into the bowl of beads.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 5.</b></u><br />
Gently remove any excess loose beads and this is what it should look like when it's nicely covered.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Step 6</b></u>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now you can take a strip of florists tape and start winding it around the wire starting close up against the beads, working your way down.</div>

Hi everyone :) This is another Guest Creative Team Member project for Maja Design. I've been wanting to scrap this photo for over a year but just couldn't find that "perfect" paper until I saw this "Walking In The Forest" collection from Maja. The photo was taken on one of the very rare ocassions that I go away for a weekend. Getting this close to an elephant was to say the least an amazing experience. One of the very few regrets I have in life is that I didn't follow my dream of becoming a Wildlife Conservationist and if I could have my life over again, that is what I would do.:) Oh well, back to scrapping...lol!! I took the time to do a little <a href="http://a-stroll-down-memory-lane.blogspot.com/2013/04/pine-cones-tutorial.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a> on how to make the pinecones which are tucked between the flowers as you can see in the close-up below. Hope you give it a try:)<br />

We've had the addition of a new Design Team, some stunning new products

retail! That means you can buy all your favourite bling straight from
the FWAB store itself!Some of my favourite pieces are the <a href="http://www.flourishwithabling.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=19" target="_blank">FWAB Grace Pearl Flourish Pewter</a> and <a href="http://www.flourishwithabling.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=29" target="_blank">FWAB Adhesive Pearls 100 Pack Plum</a> and here's

I know there is a Sizzix die out there but I was not going to buy a new machine to solve my problem, however tempting it was...lol!!<br />
<br />
<u><b>You will need very basic materials:</b></u><br />
Tan cardstock<br />
Glue<br />
Decorative scissors (scallops)<br />
Walnut stain distress ink<br />
Scissors <br />
Stylus<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 1.</b></u><br />
Use a pencil and draw a spiral on the wrong side of your cardstock measuring approx. 7.5cm in diameter. I drew the spiral free hand as I don't know of any other way to do it.<br />

<br />
<u><b>Step 2</b></u>.<br />
Use your decorative scalloped scissors and cut out the spiral all along the pencil lines.<br />

<u><b>Step 3.</b></u><br />
Turn the spiral over to the right side and ink the scalloped edges of the spiral with Walnut Stain distress ink. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 4.</b></u><br />
Use your small scissors and make a small snit a little more than half way between every scallop.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 5</b></u>.<br />
Turn your spiral over to the wrong side again, place it on a mousepad or any foam pad and roll the entire spiral with your styles, especially the pinecone petals, and you will find that your spiral starts curling. Don't worry about the pencil marks as they will not show once your little cone has been completed. This picture does not do justice to how you need to press down on the spiral and roll at the same time as it is pretty hard to do that with a camera in the left hand and a stylus in your right hand but I'm sure you get the idea. The down side of being alone at home most of the time is that you have nobody to take the photo when you need both hands...lol!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is what your spiral kind of looks like once you have finished the step with the stylus.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--47GWzIDDYQ/UTh_oMvsT_I/AAAAAAAAA-c/uS1Ez4WCa58/s1600/Pinecone+step+5a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--47GWzIDDYQ/UTh_oMvsT_I/AAAAAAAAA-c/uS1Ez4WCa58/s320/Pinecone+step+5a.jpg" width="313" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 6</b></u>.<br />
Now we need to start rolling this spiral. So, with the right side of the spial facing you, grab a thin paintbrush or knitting needle and secure the tip of the spiral to the spiral with some glue. I use a knitting needle and please ignore the "used" look of it...it works hard especially when I use it to work with wire..lol!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LgYXlA96xFY/UTiBKn9_tCI/AAAAAAAAA-o/xFlKZFBeFtc/s1600/Pinecone+step+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LgYXlA96xFY/UTiBKn9_tCI/AAAAAAAAA-o/xFlKZFBeFtc/s320/Pinecone+step+6.jpg" width="305" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 7</b></u>.<br />
Start rolling the spiral and at the same time put a few blobs of glue at intervals along the bottom edge to secure the spiral. Roll the spiral round and round and with each twirl roll it slightly downwards so that with each turn your petals will be below the prevoius layer of petal. You don't want it to become a flower. By the way, this method makes the cutest little flowers too. Once you have done a few turns, remove the knitting needle or whatever it is that you are using and turn it with your fingers....much easier and you have more control.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Keep rolling around and downwards and don't forget the little blobs of glue at intervals and it should start looking like the one in the pictures below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 8.</b></u><br />
When you get to the end, put a good blob of glue in the centre to secure the bottom edge of the spiral to the bottom of your little cone. Oops, it looks like I put too much glue on but it worked out well in the end. Press the end of the spiral firmly against the bottom of your cone and leave it until the glue is dry.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dwR6DwqnQUw/UTifmzuXg4I/AAAAAAAAA_o/OH9_r5NY63s/s1600/Pinecone+step+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dwR6DwqnQUw/UTifmzuXg4I/AAAAAAAAA_o/OH9_r5NY63s/s320/Pinecone+step+8.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It should now look similar like the one in the picture below which is a sideview of the cone.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IUcXuwubrD8/UTihCJ5mxOI/AAAAAAAAA_4/M-tlfRhAAi4/s1600/Pinecone+step+8a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IUcXuwubrD8/UTihCJ5mxOI/AAAAAAAAA_4/M-tlfRhAAi4/s320/Pinecone+step+8a.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And here is a picture of what your cone should look like at the bottom.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 9.</b></u><br />
Once the glue is dry you can now take a pair of tweezers or something and just gently start folding each little petal slightly outwards.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It took me quite a while to complete this tutorial because I had to rush out to the vet to get some cortisone for Miss Molly and on my way home I found a newborn calf in the middle of nowhere and his mother was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't just leave the little baby and started devising all sorts of schemes to get this little calf home at least until I could get hold of the SPCA to come and collect him. Little did I know that this rescue mission was going to be a case of biting off more than I can chew. Nobody wanted to help me get the little calf into my car because they were afraid of being accused of stocktheft. Well, that was the least of my problems and when I finally got the little calf home I realised how dehydrated the little creature was. How do I get him to drink something?? I proceeded to pour some milk into a bucket, held my fingers in the milk and pushed his head down into the bucket and he immediately started suckling on my fingers and that way the two of us managed to get some milk down his little throat. Needless to say that by this time I actually became quite attached to the little calf and wanted to keep him but I knew that my husband would most definitely draw the line right there. A cow in my neighbourhood??? He doesn't think so...lol!! Well now the little calf is with the SPCA and I'm feeling quite bereft....:(. And now that I've got that off my chest I hope you enjoy and understand my tutorial :) I'm not very good at explaining things. I would much rather show than tell...lol! If you would like to give this a go and there is something you don't understand OR you have a better way of making pinecones, please let me know :) I would be very happy to hear from you :)<br />
<br />
Till next time, take care and be happy!xx<br />

Hello my friends :) Just sharing a layout I did for <a href="http://blog.majadesign.nu/" target="_blank">Maja Design</a> as Guest Creative Team Member for April. I am so totally in love with the Vintage Spring Basics range :). For some reason unknown to me, I always seem to shy away from yellow but I just LOVE the beautiful soft yellow tones in these papers and was drawn to it at first glance. The little beauty in the photograph is of course my sweet, precious little niece Isabella who truly is a ray of sunshine in every sense of the word.:)<br />

Hello friendies! March is gone...anyone know where it is? Didn't get much done this month but I was not going to miss out on an opportunity to take advantage of another beautiful sketch by <a href="http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/march-challenge.html" target="_blank">Nadia at Once Upon A Sketch</a> for the March challenge. The theme of the challenge is "It's the Weekend". This photo of little Isabella was taken during my visit to Australia in 2012. One weekend we decided to drive up Tamborine Mountain and the beautiful scenery took me right back to South Africa even though I was in a different country and the few hours we spent there almost made me feel like I was back home together with my family. Of course little Isabella took every opportunity to explore, and of course I took every opportunity to take a picture. At five years old, this little girl already has such a busy little life..school, homework, karate, swimming and the list goes on, so when the weekend arrives, it's bliss not only for her, but also for Mommy! :) <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nV_17NXPQbU/ULAYUwzjaXI/AAAAAAAAIGM/mXXUgXfpIkA/s1600/Capture.JPG" target="_blank">Here</a> is the gorgeous sketch for this month. Journaling is done on a piece of vellum rolled up and tucked into the torn section on the left of the page.<br />

and <a href="http://www.flourishwithabling.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=29" target="_blank">FWAB Adhesive Pearls 100 Pack Plum</a>. And with that I am going to love and leave you and try and get on with my next project. Happy scrapping!!xx<br />

Hi everyone :) It's early Sunday morning in South Africa and as usual the first thing I do is make myself a nice cup of tea and then I check my e-mail. Imagine my surprise when I get this lovely message from <a href="http://discreativespace.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Di Carling</a> to say that she has awarded me the Liebster award.:) Now, this could not have come from a sweeter, kinder person and I am extremely flattered and honored to be complimented in such a lovely way. Thank you so much Di :)x Di has a beautiful blog and her work is exquisite :) She is a member of the <a href="http://greentara1.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Green Tara</a> design team and also a member of the <a href="http://www.2craftychipboard.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">2 Crafty Chipboard</a> design team and I have seen her work featured on many occasions. Check out her beautiful blog <a href="http://discreativespace.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">here.</a><br />
<br />
The Liebster award was designed to be a blog award in the pay it forward fashion. It is awarded to blogs that have fewer than 200 followers to encourage new visitors to them. Once you have been nominated, you award it to five other blogs. <br />
<br />
The rules are: Post the award to your blogs, give the award to five bloggers who you appreciate that have fewer that 200 followers, then leave a comment on their blogs to let them know that you have given them this award.<br />
<br />
Now I would love to pass this award on to five other ladies who does such beautiful work and who totally deserves something special and these five ladies are:<br />

Hello again my scrappy friends :) I made this layout for a challenge over at <a href="http://berry71bleu.blogspot.com/2013/03/march-challenge-you-color-my-world.html" target="_blank">Berry71bleu</a> hosted by the incredibly talented <a href="http://kayskreativekorner.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kay Fatula</a>. The theme is "You Colour My World" and the challenge is to use paint in any form on your layout. Of course my darling little niece Isabella fits the theme just perfectly. I became very frustrated with this layout as I really struggle to work with more than three colours at most but it kind of came together in the end. I painted the background paper with some gesso and I also painted the little scalloped chipboard circle.I also used Kay's very clever method of rolling journaling into a scroll when you find that you don't have much space on your page especially when you have a bit to say...lol!! What I love about doing journaling this way is that it actually serves as an embellishment at the same time. Thank you Kay...you are such a clever lady :)<br />
<br />
On this layout I also used the very cute little <a href="http://www.flourishwithabling.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11&products_id=61" target="_blank">FWAB Trent's Fence Puffy</a> from <a href="http://www.flourishwithabling.com.au/" target="_blank">Flourish With A Bling</a> and also some pretty little pearls from <a href="http://www.flourishwithabling.com.au/" target="_blank">Flourish With a Bling</a> which are the <a href="http://www.flourishwithabling.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=26" target="_blank">FWAB Adhesive Pearls 100 Pack Pewter</a>. Well, that's me for today. Need to get ready for a hectic week at work again.<br />
<br />
Well, that's all from me for today...till next time, stay safe and take care!xCathy Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11280130293215172838noreply@blogger.com14
