It's been a while that I have been blogging, but my plans to be finished with creating and writing all my Christmas cards by 1.12.2014 as well as having all gifts wrapped and ready to go was simply not happening. I can't say that I was lazy, the opposite, I was busy...

Results of my Colour Session

In the last two weeks I have used my prints from my colour session. I used up all the prints except the music notes, which just didn't turn out. I think I have surprised myself - usually I am getting bored after a couple of cards and the rest gets stored away. On the...

Colouring session

Colouring session

Two weeks ago on the weekend I had a mad colouring session, testing yet again a new technique: Colouring with embossing folders. So I started off and within an hour I had my hands covered in spray paint as well as I had a lot of prints, but since I had the mess...

Kimberley Collage

Kimberley Collage

Immediately after I had finished my Kimberley photo album, I create this little collage with all sorts of items I had collected during my holiday. Most of the items were simply to big or bulky to add them into the photo album and so the idea was born to create the...

Yeah, I am finished!

Finally I am finished with my photo album! Yuhuuu, I am so happy that I made it. It took me almost two months, but it was worth doing it. But now I am so ready to do cards again. Today I packed away all the unused cards and pocket pages etc. I still have a fare bit of...
