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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...
