Here is this weeks sketch...

Here is my take on the sketch...

I am really loving single pages at the moment and I choose the right side to create this layout digitally on Coral Draw. 

This is my youngest sister, Kirsty and the photos were taken at her 30th birthday party.

Happy birthday Kirst!!!

Thanks for looking and remember, go and play at Lets Scrap!

Exciting news coming soon - 3 September 2014

Learning to ice skate

This weekend gone was a very busy one.  Besides the Spring Walk and The Adventure Day at the boys' schools, Ethan was invited to Edge's 9th birthday party at the Galleria Ice Rink

Now this was the boys first time on the ice rink.  Poor Tyler thought there was water underneath and said that he wasn't going to go on as the ice might crack and he would fall into the icy water below!  Me think he has been watching too many cartoons!

Besides standing like pencils and falling like dominoes, the boys did well as first timers and glided on the edge of the rink.

Here are some pics of the day....

That is all for now

HOW TO PLAY PHOTO A DAY

Whether you are a pro or not, its nice to get cute prompts for each day and you can have fun while at it.

Have a look at Chantelle's blog to see how this idea was born and while you at it, subscribe to her monthly newsletter...so here it is Fat Mum Slim


HOW TO PLAY PHOTO A DAY

♥ Look at the monthly list to find the prompt for the day. {The number corresponds to the date of the month}.
♥ Take a photo using the prompt as inspiration. So for September the prompt for day 1 is ‘in my cup’. So take a photo of what is in your cup.
♥ Now you’ve taken a picture, it’s time to share it. This is the fun part. You can share to whichever social media platform you like, for me I like Facebook but you can post wherever you post to.

Summer of 2012.....

I have finished a single page during the heavy rains we have had.  

I used a sketch from Let's Scrap.  This sketch was added by Debbie de Wilde on May 16, 2011.

I have been battling to get back into scrapping since my move 2 years ago from Cape Town and decided to print all the sketches I like from the Let's Scrap website. 

Thanks for looking and go and join the Let's Scrap.

December 2011

Gosh it has really been almost a year since I last posted and now don't go falling off your chair!

2011 has been a year of losing friends and a dear nephew. Connor fought for 7 years against the mitrochrondrial disease and earned his wings on September, 16.  Connor, I miss you terribly and know that you are dancing high up in the clouds.

Today I did some scrapping and made 2 things.

Firstly I made a Christmas Shadow box decoration using the papers from the Le Shabby Cafe's December kit - Joys of Christmas.  This is proudly hanging on my Christmas tree!



Secondly, I did my first sketch challenge with Let's Scrap and used the papers from the Le Shabby Cafe's December kit - Joys of Christmas.

That is all for now and will post some pictures on what show we went to see on the weekend.

New Year New Design

Hello there

I got a notice that http://shabbyblogs.com/ is moving to a new server and we had to update our codes (Like I know how to do this???) so I decided to get a whole look.  Let me know what you think?

So here it is, my new look called "Sophie" which I got for free!!!

While I was busy updating, I realised that my last post was November 2010 and that means I need to get off my butt and get you all updated.  I promise to do this by the end of the week and in the meantime, you all must have a fabulous week!

Love
