Valentine Cards
January is almost over already! Time is flying again. I made some Valentine cards over the weekend. When I looked through my stash I found heart stickers in four colours. Each sticker sheet has six hearts in various sizes. After I created one card and I really liked...
Exciting News
Last year in September I submitted some cards to a magazine for publication. I had already forgotten about it when I got an email back, that they wanted to publish one of my cards! I was very excited until I realized, that the card they wanted to publish was sold to a...
Christmas review 2014
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...
Regine’s Review of the Year 2014
This year was rather quiet and uneventful Ð I guess it doesnÕt have to be always like a roller coaster. Christmas 2013 and the change into the new year 2014 was celebrated with good friends. Christmas was even celebrated twice on Christmas eve and Christmas day....
Real Scrapbooking
or maybe better card making on a budget! Last weekend I saw a card with a nice design and thought I could try this and suddenly I had the idea to use up the tons of Christmas paper offcuts I have collected over the years. As a true "crafter" I can't part with any...
Public Holiday
I love public holidays! Not only do I get a day off, but I am now also paid for it! Yuhhuu! Since I didn't have any plans this long weekend I enjoyed a lot of time on my craft table, just doing cards 😉 I know I am a bit crazy, but hey I am enjoying life! And I am...
Busy Bee
Gee, I can't believe it's almost a month since my last post! Well, a big change and socializing have taken it's toll on writing blog posts. So, the big change is, that I have gone back into full-time employment. I have made the decision to get more stability in my...
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
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...
A special Flip it Card
I have got that template to create a accordion card with as many panels as required. So I decided it's time to use it again. I kept it all colour coordinated and used just one piece of patterned paper. The front was quite colourful while the back had the light green...
Playing with word dies
My latest toys are some word dies and I can't stop using them! After I saw some really nice ideas on some other blogs and Pinterest I got stuck into it and now I am addicted. I started off with some basic techniques, but got more and more advanced as well as...
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...
Busy Times
It has been a busy time recently! Last weekend I helped my friend Vada move house as well as playing volleyball on Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Sadly we lost both games, but we are still 2nd on the ladder and hopefully will make the finals in a couple of weeks....
Back to making Cards
I am so happy to be back making cards and I gone crazy straight away. First I had two square pieces of paper left over from my photo album. Both were papers I didn't really like very much and therefore had altered by spraying them heavily with Dylusion ink. 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...
Almost there!
Three weeks after I said "half way there" I have progressed a lot and I think I have hit the last quarter of photos of the Kimberley trip. It seems to be dragging on forever, but when I just took the photos I noted, that I had done a lot of pages in the last three...
My Favorite Day of the Year!
Yesterday was my favorite day of the Year: I was visiting the annual Quilt and Craft Fair! Sadly without my friend Vada, but this time Linda came with me. We left in the morning and at 9:40 am and came home around 5pm! So we spent the full day in there! There is...
Half way there!
I am half way there - just started the second box of photos. Even though I would love to do some cards, I keep myself going with my photo album. I fear I won't finish it for a long time, if I put it aside now. I am mainly working on it at breakfast time. Somehow my...
