White on White Challenge @ Crafting for All Seasons

Hi all. Sorry, my blog has been sadly neglected over the last few weeks. It has been end of term for both my boys, so lots of exams and tests, and we have had people here putting in our new pool for the last 3 weeks, so busy busy busy!!

So..... the latest challenge at Crafting for All Seasons is "White on White", I thought I might battle a bit with this one, but I added a touch of color to my image, and I LOVE the end result!!

Here is my card:



So if you have been visiting my blog for a while you will know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Some Odd Girl digi's, so when I heard Kristy was sponsoring this challenge I was excited!!! You really can't go wrong when making a card with a Some Odd Girl digi!! I used "Bright Lights Kaylee" for my card, you can buy her HERE!

So, for more details and inspiration, check out the Crafting for All Seasons Blog, we really would love for you to play along with us for this challenge, it's the perfect theme to get some Christmas cards done!!!

It's Let's Scrap sketch time!!

The latest sketch is up at Let's Scrap, and I can't tell you how much fun I had with this one!!

When I first looked at it, I thought it might be a bit finicky for me, but I was wrong, my page came together so quickly!! I am so pleased with the way this one turned out!!



I used lots of scraps on this page!! The alphabet letters are by Basic Grey and the circle journaling spot is by Heidi Swapp. I did the journaling on an old typewriter I bought on auction 2 weeks ago for R60.00, I love it!!

Here is the lovely double page sketch, I used the right hand side!


So.... don't delay, go and become a member over at Let's Scrap, it really is a fun, inspiring and friendly place to be!!!

I got great news!!!!!

I got a message today to tell me that I had been chosen as a new DT member over at Sketches in Thyme!!! I am so so happy, and am excited to be a part of this team.
