Captured Moments - Penelope Dee Photogenic

Hello Everyone

I am so blessed to be an ambassador for Penelope Dee.

I so love the products and I love that a local manufacturer is producing such quality! ;-)

So I created a mixed media, boy layout with their newest collection, Photogenic.

I did some black gesso stencilling and some stam;ping for the background.

I also used the gorgeous Sizzix Bright Bubbles die-cut.

SIZZIX THINLITS DIE - BRIGHT BUBBLES

Here are some close-ups.

I also had some enamel dots that I have had for ages, which finally found their place and I was so pleased I could use them on this boy page.

This boy is getting so tall and growing so quickly, it is actually scary! ;-)

Today we also had a massive thunderstorm and all I can say is "Thank You Lord" for the beautiful rain. We really were in need of rain and with the rain over the weekend too, the garden and the grass are just flourishing.

I hope you had a lovely Monday!

Thanks so much for popping in, I really do appreciate it so.

Take care for now.

A Day of Fun - Scrap Africa Mood Board no.71

Hello Everyone

I hope that you had a super Monday yesterday and that the start of the week has been good.

We have a new mood board challenge up at Scrap Africa.

It's a fun, fresh and vibrant board.

I went with a boy page, which is perfect for this colouring.

I used bits and pieces from all sorts of collections and really did dive into my stash.  It was good to use from THE stash! ;-)

I was so pleased to also be able to use a fabulous die-cut that I got from Sizzix.

It really is gorgeous and I had so much fun using it.

Sizzix Thinlits Die - Bright Bubbles

Here are some close-ups of the page and also the fun die-cut.

This photo was taken of Joe on a visit, 2 years ago, to the Bunny Park.

It really was a fun and lovely day out and Joe was in his element, to be out and about.

So maybe play along with the mood board? Maybe also pop along and see the gorgeous work from the Design Team?

You have until 31 March.

There is also R300 FabScraps surprise parcel up for grabs.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a super duper day!
