A Day to Remember - Sketchabilities #120

Hello Everyone

I really loved the new sketch up at Sketchabilities and so just had to play along! ;-)


Here's my take on it.


This is just such a special page for me, because I don't often have photo's where Joe and I are together. So I loved that we had this photo taken, even though it took HUGE amounts of persuasion for Joe to sit still and also not pull funny faces! ;-) Little boys and ants in their pants!!!!


My journalling says this: It was such a mission to get you to sit still for 2min! You loved running amock outdoors, playing and fishing! You had such a ball! Old Millstream June 2014

We had a family weekend away at Dullstroom, flyfishing, and it was just a wonderful weekend for us all! ;-)


I used one of my favourite stencils and then did some painting....which I am sooooo loving at the moment.
On the circle chipboard I also did some crackle work.


On the chipboard leaves I added some white embossing and was thrilled at the result.


A close-up of my sweet boy and me! ;-)

I will rather add a list of goodies used, as I think this is easier to make sure I list them all.

Collection - Teresa Collins Now and Then / Summer Stories

Chipboard Round - Blue Fern Studios
Chipboard Leaves - Celebr8 and Enmarc

Have a super evening!

Scrap Africa - Sketch no.26

Hello Everyone

There is a new sketch up at Scrap Africa and hopefully you can play along.



We have some super inspiration on the blog and so please pop by to have a look! ;-)

You can also win this super prize pack from Molossi.



Here is my take on it.


I love this photo of Joe and was one that I really wanted to scrap. I used Teresa Collins Now and Then Collection and did some old fashioned pencil shading, which actually turned out so well.


I just added some splatters of ink and some arrows and little bits of washi tape.


I love this layout and it is a reminder to me to scrap these little everyday moments that are so special.



Yesterday and today were quite sad days for me, in that a friend of mine lost her daughter, she was only 28. I went to visit her today and it was absolutely heart wrenching to see this family so lost and broken by this shocking loss.  It was another reminder to me that we must treasure these everyday moments and that life is quite short sometimes.

I hope you have a super Saturday!
Enjoy this very day for what is it!
