This is the start of an inspiration patch, where I hope that fellow scrappers and creators will come and find some inspiration, or even leave some inspiration for me.

Masculine Cards - BoBunny Wild Card

Hello Everyone

I can't believe that I have the whole house to myself again today....the boys are out with the bikes and so it's just me and the dogs, the birdies outside and my scrappy goodies! LOL

BoBunny has an awesome collection out - Wild Card - which is gorgeously masculine and is so perfect for those masculine cards and layouts.

I created some cards...one which I will certainly be using for my brothers 40th birthday, coming up very soon.


I used BoBunny stamps on the backgrounds, along with some BoBunny washi tape.

Here are the individual cards.



On this second one, I used the packing sheet from the buttons, as it was perfect for using on this card.

BoBunny Supplies:
Wild Card Collection - Packaging Sheet, Chipboards, Papers and Buttons
Stamps - Stained Textures
Souvenir Collection - Ephemera Pack
Washi Tape - Black and White
Wood Shapes - That's Life

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a super Sunday!

Relax, Restore, Breathe - Scrap Africa Sketch Challenge no.36

Hello Everyone

Wow...01st October! Now the end of year gitteries are really setting in and I realise I have much to do before this year is finished! ;-)

Anyways, we have a new sketch challenge at Scrap Africa here. It's a bit eclectic, but I like it! ;-)


I went with a beach page and theme and I am happy with the result.


I used the gorgeous Seashore collection from Prima.


The chipboard words are Celebr8 and the tree chipboard is Enmarc.


I used the little woody bits from a canvas to create the fence, along with some string.


My journalling tells you about this page and my love for the sea and these 2 boys! ;-)

Please pop over and have a look at the GD and DT inspiration....and then...put paint to paper and play along!!!!!! ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a super evening!

Christmas Tags - BoBunny

Hello Everyone

It's a beautiful, quiet and hot day already in Africa! ;-) I can't believe how how it has got and so quickly!!!! I am not complaining....this is my absolute best time of the year!!! ;-)

I enjoyed making the BoBunny tags so much this week, that I made some Christmas one's too.
I used the very cute Elf Magic collection.


One is the more classic styling and the other a bit more playful.





I think this year I may do more tags and less cards, as the tags will be so perfect on gifts.

Have you started a Christmas list yet?
I think that may be my next project! ;-)

Have a super Sunday!

Life is Sweet - Berry71Bleu September Challenge - Things I Love

Hello Everyone

Happy Friday!!!! Yay...always a good day to start the weekend off and get one into that time-off mode.

I have a page up on the Berry71Bleu Blog here today.  This month's challenge is about "Things I Love"....

So firstly I created a board of a few of the things I love.


One of these is cake....LOL...so my page is about that!:-)


I used one of Marivic's gorgeous tags for this page.  I did put my title over it, but did think it was just perfect, as one can still see that chocolate ganache cake behind the title along with the rest of the tag goodies.


Here's a closer look at the tag.


I used one of my favourite stencils and did some gesso and watercolouring.


The journalling is very "tongue in cheek" and just a little bit of a giggle.
"Admittedly, I have a bit of a sweet tooth and I really do love a decadent cake or pudding.  When one can treat oneself, with a little something sweet, why absolutely not?! My thoughts are that life can be bitter enough and that a little treat can sweeten any day! Marie Antoinette was a woman after my own heart! ;-)

I used the vintage Chic Collection from Heidi Swapp.  It's still a firm favourite!

I hope this added some sweetness to your day!
Have a sweet one...whatever you are doing!

Tags - BoBunny

Hello Everyone

I have the house to myself.  It's peaceful and quiet and I have managed to get a lot of creating done this morning! ;-) Public Holidays are so great, to just catch a little breather.

I have some tags to share with you. I used the beautiful Madeleine Collection, the Madeleine Ephemera Pack and the very pretty Primrose Collection.


I used lots of layers and pretty die-cuts, along with some BoBunny lace and pearls and Blossoms.

Here are the individual tags.



I always like to have some tags and cards on hand, for a birthdays, etc etc.

BoBunny really has some amazingly, pretty collections. You can pop along here to check out their new collections and new amazing products.

Have a super day today....whatever you are doing!

Always - Prima September BAP

Hello Everyone

I am so pleased that tomorrow we have a half week breather, as it's a Public Holiday! ;-) So it means there is no rush to get Joe off to bed, or myself, in fact, and so there is time to blog, scrap and chat! LOL

I finished a page for the Prima BAP this month. This page kind of took on a life of it's own and just developed and it did not turn out the way I had planned it to.  Not in a bad way...just different!

Here was the sketch.

2014 BAP Keren



I had wanted to keep the right hand side leaner....but it did not work out like that.


I used the Something Blue Collection, along with some other bits and bobs from other Prima collections. I did make use of the flower backing, as the matting for my photo, which I was very pleased at too! ;-)


The little buttons for this collection were stunning.  I had to make sure that I used some.


Here is a close up of the journaling.  I just know that these two will be together forever! ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I hope you have a super day tomorrow.

Wanderlust - Mixed Media Canvas - BoBunny

Hello Everyone

A week has passed since my last post and it's hard to believe!!! What a hectic week too....
I had an all day scrap on Saturday, which I had to prepare for and believe me, really did take a lot of time...so yes, I have been creating, but was all in the background! ;-)

Today I am up on the BoBunny Blog with a mixed media canvas tutorial. I would love it if you popped along and checked it out.

Here's a little sneak peek.


I will be back with some more shares tomorrow.

Have a super Monday!
