3 Cards for my 3 Nieces

Hello. I just wanted to do a quick post to share three Some Odd Girls cards I have created for my nieces. We are going to visit them in Joburg soon, and I wanted to make them something special to take with. Kayla always makes us something when she visits us, so I thought I would surprise her this time around.

These adorable images can be purchased at the Some Odd Girl shop HERE.

Thanks for stopping by :)

My last blog post....for now anyway!

Hi friends. I just wanted to do this post to let you know that I have decided to take a break from blogging. Things have changed quite a lot in my life in the last year or so, and I no longer have the time or motivation to keep my blog going. I want to thank-you all for the support and friendship that has been showed to me over the last few years!! I hope that sometime in the future things will change, and I can return to this world of blogging.

For now, there is the my FB page,  if you want to say "hi", and I also have an Instagram account which I post to quite often, if you would like to Follow me HERE.

I will see you all around, somewhere....

Smiles,
Rene'

Challenge no.25 - Recycling at SCRAP AFRICA

Sjoe it's been a hectic few days in the Sharp household!! What with getting Caide all packed up and ready to go back to boarding school, getting Jamie ready for Grade 1 and Bryce ready for his last year of Primary School, I must confess to being rather knackered! Roll on weekend!!

So....just a quick post to share the latest SCRAP AFRICA challenge with you. It's a fabulous challenge, one I know you will all have fun with......RECYCLE!!

You need to use at least one recycled item on your project. Create a card, layout or altered piece, that has a recycled item and please tell us what that item is.

Here is the layout I created for this challenge. I used a clothing tag for my recycled item!
