General Mixed Media Card - Graphic 45

Hello Everyone

We were away this weekend.  We went to go and visit my hubby's Mom, up near Alldays.

It is beautiful African bushveld up there and was really so nice to be able to relax in nature and just enjoy the family.

I will share some photo's with you shortly...

But here is one of the sunset on Saturday.  It was just magnificent.

I took my scrappy goodies with and had some time to play on Saturday, as it was so very cold and so we spent quite a bit of time inside.

I created a general mixed media card, using the gorgeous Botanicabella collection from Graphic 45.

I did a lot of fussy cutting for this card, but I am really pleased with the result.

Here's a closer look.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend and Monday!

Graphic 45 Design Team - Final Round - Mixed Media Tag Tutorial

Hello Everyone

2 weeks ago I announced that I was chosen as one of the TOP 30 finalists for the Graphic 45 Design Team.

We had to create a project and also create a video.

So I decided to make a tutorial video for the mixed media tag that I created.

Firstly here's the tag.

Secondly, here's the video to share with you today.

Here's the YouTube link too: https://youtu.be/4Hqt-DvV1Mk

I had lots of fun making this video.  It was a bit nerve wrecking too, as this was the first time that I created one.  I am sure that with practice, it will get much easier and I won't feel so nervous.

But yes, I wanted to get it right and I also really wanted a good shot at this final Design Team Audition.

Anyways, please wish me luck! ;-)

Have a super and creative afternoon! ;-)

Farewell Card - Graphic 45

Hello Everyone

I hope that you have had a good Wednesday! ;-)

Johannesburg has been grey and cloudy today, with lots and lots of rain! It is so very needed and so very welcome! ;-)

I was asked to make a farewell card for someone that is leaving our workplace.

So I dove into some of my Graphic 45 goodies and created this card! ;-)

I have been wanting to use this quote and beautiful dolled up lady, for a while now! ;-)

Here's some close-up of the clusters and my homemade flowers.

Well I hope the lady liked it and wish her well in her new job! ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a super evening!
