This time I played with some non traditional colours, since red, white and blue (ocean depth blue in this case) is not necessarily associated with Christmas. I used different dies and coloured the image with Prisma pencils. Rediscovered my glitter and added some white on the hat and some confetti stars. Then a tag needs some twine and I have found this raffia twine in red, white and blue. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Challenges I'm joining:</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://colorfuloptions.blogspot.com/2023/07/july-2023.html">Colourful options</a> - Red, white and blue</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/07/299-christmas-in-july.html">Crafter's cafe #299</a> - Christmas in July</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2023/07/christmas-in-july.html">Double D</a> - Christmas in July</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://creativeknockouts.blogspot.com/2023/07/499-christmas-in-july-alex-syberia.html">Creative Knockouts #499</a> - Christmas in July</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com/2023/07/crafty-catz-challenge-647-plus-redraw.html">Crafty Catz #647</a> - Christmas in July</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://sweetstampinchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2023/07/christmas-in-july.html">Sweet Stampin</a> - Christmas in July</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.6293601450735000&type=3">The Wonderful World of Alicia Bel</a> - July Challenge Anything goes</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Hope you have a wonderful day!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Hugs from a cold Africa!</div><div style="text-align: left;">OlgaB</div>OlgaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10309803741257071893noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402462292535829335.post-65727053624006380132023-07-05T17:29:00.001+02:002023-07-05T17:29:28.306+02:00Guest designer at Penny's Paper-crafty<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQoBCT9RacFJwISWwDEfwfMsgcFzN7Kvxgwm-QtNWC-gV-g6PDEStaJybhyuHp1Lap1WFpeY6NrUOp94sVH3baing6jSsvFu4FlIiKNH9WLOJdutVHUWOzRABuR1PXHFMXepaD7APQu7jPfTEl2SeQC-mzZAHiM8sL-9jBiPjAFut_DJsfC9mXQ_XhQfg/s2649/Popsicle%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2649" data-original-width="2073" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQoBCT9RacFJwISWwDEfwfMsgcFzN7Kvxgwm-QtNWC-gV-g6PDEStaJybhyuHp1Lap1WFpeY6NrUOp94sVH3baing6jSsvFu4FlIiKNH9WLOJdutVHUWOzRABuR1PXHFMXepaD7APQu7jPfTEl2SeQC-mzZAHiM8sL-9jBiPjAFut_DJsfC9mXQ_XhQfg/s320/Popsicle%20copy.jpg" width="250" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhStmTEC9M2NA5hRJvlwNug3nkP342b2E9IkGbRmxX8YG_kPWtZM5_52kqI7cchnBXD3mBjPWdWuScWQBmEdyGlhwyeVIQibVoD5VHfXYt7lB4s-XNkfmsD2Ujdt_vn1b-WJT1Mx8c8hN45skNySsonN4-07oz5uQ-s08xAKuxmOt5IEwLSnOD4n6TUNSY/s320/inspiration%20station%20July%20Prompt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhStmTEC9M2NA5hRJvlwNug3nkP342b2E9IkGbRmxX8YG_kPWtZM5_52kqI7cchnBXD3mBjPWdWuScWQBmEdyGlhwyeVIQibVoD5VHfXYt7lB4s-XNkfmsD2Ujdt_vn1b-WJT1Mx8c8hN45skNySsonN4-07oz5uQ-s08xAKuxmOt5IEwLSnOD4n6TUNSY/s1600/inspiration%20station%20July%20Prompt.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjJlORulya1dHTsv5mY9282Y2opQRK5G33Td-OYDmg7mGmVUAAlzSj1P5GitRI8o1ACMjSPjz6IgTwMSZKh8JdhISFviTuPMIt8X9N8o7FZHHQpjxGPolKmh94VKaFK66blSOdsoHLf9bPMjlXEKgCJwMbLzoX3ENiNdqzjd_WsQJnAYDcBLotbJ5LGco/s640/DD%20July%2023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="427" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjJlORulya1dHTsv5mY9282Y2opQRK5G33Td-OYDmg7mGmVUAAlzSj1P5GitRI8o1ACMjSPjz6IgTwMSZKh8JdhISFviTuPMIt8X9N8o7FZHHQpjxGPolKmh94VKaFK66blSOdsoHLf9bPMjlXEKgCJwMbLzoX3ENiNdqzjd_WsQJnAYDcBLotbJ5LGco/s320/DD%20July%2023.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"> Good day</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We are currently experiencing a love mild winter's day here in the north of Southern Africa!

They have a winter break currently.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Well I have accepted the invitation to be a guest designer for <a href="http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/2023/07/pennys-challenge-550.html">Penny's Paper-Crafty</a> and I used one of the sponsors' image. It is called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/688279716/popsicle">Popsicle</a> from All Dressed Up. I have these lovely popsicle papers in my stash and I added some plain paper with it to give it a bit of ocean feeling since this lovely lady looks as if she is on her way to the beach with her carry bag with a magazine, towel and spade. <i>I just love designer paper and to combine it with plain is the best combo for me</i>.

I have decided to learn somethings new this year so I spend a lot of time on my new ventures. Of which one is quilting and I must admit it is really something I like. Maybe I'll share a picture soon.</p><p>But I took some time off to play with my papers this past week. My boy is turning 21 tomorrow. He loves motorcycles and has one too, but often he has to do some repairing on his "lady" as he calls her. So when I saw this image - <a href="https://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=655">motorcycle mechanic</a> - from The Paper Shelter I just to have it. I had to add a beard to this guy since my son has a beard and I have coloured the background and tried to add the 21 in the form of graffiti. The tools are dies and I added some eyelets with a sentiment of Happy Birthday.</p><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Challenges I'm joining:</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/2023/05/pennys-challenge-546.html">Penny's Paper crafty #546</a> - Anything goes</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/05/happy-birthday-to-us-challenge-677.html">C.R.A.F.T #677</a> - Birthdays</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://thepapershelter.blogspot.com/2023/05/challenge-553-add-some-texture.html">The Paper Shelter #553</a> - Texture - </div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://pattiescreationschallenge.blogspot.com/2023/05/challenge-206.html">Pattie's Creations #206</a> - Anything goes</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://craftrocketchallenges.blogspot.com/2023/05/challenge-103-for-boys.html">Craft Rocket #103</a> - One for the boys</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://sweetsketchwednesday2.blogspot.com/2023/05/may-sketches-at-sweet-sketch-wednesday-2.html">Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2</a> - May Sketch</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Hope you have a wonderful day!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Hugs from Africa!</div><div style="text-align: left;">OlgaB</div>OlgaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10309803741257071893noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402462292535829335.post-80919865304759127112022-12-15T10:30:00.017+02:002022-12-15T12:29:44.197+02:00New challenge at Creative Moments<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Since we are in the spirit of Christmas or winter, you can use that inspiration for our challenge. Beccy from Beccy's place is our sponsor and I have the privilege to play with<a href="https://beccysplace.com/emu-parade-digital-stamps/"> Emu parade</a>. It just suited our Southern Hemisphere kind of Christmas in the middle of our summer holidays. I also use her December challenge board to create my card. I used the middle row left to right - Colour with pencils, digital image, add some sparkle. I used some ribbon with sparkle and some shimmer board behind my image for the sparkle and I have coloured the image with my Prism Pencils. Papers from my stash and the sentiment is part of the package.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><i>Challenges I'm joining: </i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2022/12/december-challenge.html">Beccy's Place</a> - December</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://cheerfulsketcheschallenge.blogspot.com/2022/12/challenge-115-december-2022.html">Cheerful Sketches</a> - December sketch </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://movingalongwiththetimes.blogspot.com/2022/12/challenge-149-for-december.html">Moving along with times</a> - Christmas</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://incywincydesigns.blogspot.com/2022/12/december-2022-closes-8th-jan-2023.html">Incy Wincy</a> - Christmas</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://morgansartworld.blogspot.com/2022/12/morgans-artworld-challenge-12.html">Morgan's Art world</a> - Anything goes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hope you will come and join us at <a href="https://carabbiemomentsofcraft.blogspot.com/2022/12/challenge-241-christmaswinter.html">Creative Moments</a>!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hugs from Africa!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">OlgaB</div><p></p>OlgaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10309803741257071893noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402462292535829335.post-51087337571868897022022-12-09T14:55:00.004+02:002022-12-09T14:55:37.613+02:00One last Christmas card<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtlw1u3jRl0hWD7WIbdbiPcpuVGUTIJP3rqFPfxSlSgZIS4M-5kmXExeC-N7eA7iz7l806YzlRUZbiXRcOJCZkvO9Rl-jZV2kQkxVPMg6AICYDVI5rC0SNdv09nFkHrmg8v5mDiluaplp_AOgLuv7C2Tfois5AqO0SQLMH-1TCwZBZMxw1pOdsM-z/s1029/Elf%20with%20gift.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1029" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtlw1u3jRl0hWD7WIbdbiPcpuVGUTIJP3rqFPfxSlSgZIS4M-5kmXExeC-N7eA7iz7l806YzlRUZbiXRcOJCZkvO9Rl-jZV2kQkxVPMg6AICYDVI5rC0SNdv09nFkHrmg8v5mDiluaplp_AOgLuv7C2Tfois5AqO0SQLMH-1TCwZBZMxw1pOdsM-z/s320/Elf%20with%20gift.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr6CCwiheMG8wKh6x13-3vjTdcfrDM77k36nFqwPlf4i1Jn7mHC82SKXk-zj66C2P6GUDmMpeFV8JwYPXtH6-64frQoAzqOQNCq8u3NjSBFT_4ZSoiKLaDVE9VcTeBAXFkEE6F_896jdwPrPTgE3i1zk80pX60LkBXUd3VytAvW2yuqz6uTC8K0ech/s320/15.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="320" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr6CCwiheMG8wKh6x13-3vjTdcfrDM77k36nFqwPlf4i1Jn7mHC82SKXk-zj66C2P6GUDmMpeFV8JwYPXtH6-64frQoAzqOQNCq8u3NjSBFT_4ZSoiKLaDVE9VcTeBAXFkEE6F_896jdwPrPTgE3i1zk80pX60LkBXUd3VytAvW2yuqz6uTC8K0ech/s1600/15.png" width="320" /></a></div>Good day<p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: left;">I give away to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/187877358304468">Alicia Bel</a> for one last Christmas card for this year.

Since purple is my colour choice for this Christmas I used it on the gnomes' hats - image from Sheepski design called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/737468390/garden-party-image-no-202?click_key=b61881dd6a9f994de437217172cc6b78c57a2ad4%3A737468390&click_sum=f5c1fa86&ref=shop_home_feat_3&sts=1">garden party</a>. I'm a bit disappointed since the clear emboss pen did not change colour with the heat embossing on the brim of the hats. I think I used a different emboss powder in the past. I added some pearl accent on the beards. For the holly leaves, in the corner, I used a Fiskar emboss corner template. Added an Afrikaans peel-off sticker for the sentiment and some pearls. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Challenges I'm joining:</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://2sistersontheblog.blogspot.com/2022/12/challenge-69.html">2 Sisters on the blog #69</a> - Christmas with holly leaves</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/2022/12/week-705.html">Allsorts #705</a> - Christmas</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://colorfuloptions.blogspot.com/2022/12/december-2022.html">Colourful options</a> - Inspiration board</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://creativeknockouts.blogspot.com/2022/12/481-winter-wonderland-lee-holland.html">Creative Knockouts #481</a> - Winter wonderland</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://sheepski-designs-challenges.blogspot.com/2022/12/challenge-69-tis-season.html">Sheepski design challenge #69 </a>- This is the season</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set?set=oa.1107056406618035&type=3">Sheepski design Facebook #78</a> - Christmas</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Hope you will come and join us at <a href="http://sweetsketchwednesday2.blogspot.com/2022/12/december-2022-at-ssw2.html">Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Hugs from Africa!</div><div style="text-align: left;">OlgaB</div><p></p>OlgaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10309803741257071893noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402462292535829335.post-8670800458216896022022-11-15T12:27:00.005+02:002022-11-15T12:27:43.738+02:00Winter challenge in mid of summer<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGmlNsNwHxfNqvNONK0ueHeywkfGzNk-lIiRYuhcdAhSZgZ8YS2u2y6dTUIgAh7dWptYGzWXSa3OvzwQNdviR2utd5Vrb46P0tyzO4nNQwFyh99QSPAGFSTmsSaGZWPpTzdm8IMkqAagJrpZ9VROPJRiyrjmWe0NztlfpiANJ1T0AB4kVRt_ZxV0rm/s320/242%20November%20Sketch%20%2324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="316" data-original-width="320" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGmlNsNwHxfNqvNONK0ueHeywkfGzNk-lIiRYuhcdAhSZgZ8YS2u2y6dTUIgAh7dWptYGzWXSa3OvzwQNdviR2utd5Vrb46P0tyzO4nNQwFyh99QSPAGFSTmsSaGZWPpTzdm8IMkqAagJrpZ9VROPJRiyrjmWe0NztlfpiANJ1T0AB4kVRt_ZxV0rm/s1600/242%20November%20Sketch%20%2324.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPpVTO0uuVEi_JoYrr4w1-zS3y8Lmh7vKB-Bawrbkus0XnqHU1zth3mdqBJS_-z-M-FtBQKlL6KadLVR84zFKKxlcCUscOjI398C9biHVfvW1nG0_wIaSS8MzteschwQSFB1ZI9kSVTAYrp4YPiQ3eE-ZztYY_jPBNR1-wyFwBciKTki_7GWItJSE7/s3039/Gnome%20retired%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2820" data-original-width="3039" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPpVTO0uuVEi_JoYrr4w1-zS3y8Lmh7vKB-Bawrbkus0XnqHU1zth3mdqBJS_-z-M-FtBQKlL6KadLVR84zFKKxlcCUscOjI398C9biHVfvW1nG0_wIaSS8MzteschwQSFB1ZI9kSVTAYrp4YPiQ3eE-ZztYY_jPBNR1-wyFwBciKTki_7GWItJSE7/s320/Gnome%20retired%20copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"> Good day</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We are finally reaching the end of the long road of selling our house!

So we want to see some cosy projects which reflects winter. Polkadoodles are our sponsor this month!

It fits our time of year, here in the southern part of Africa! Most people are preparing for a lovely summer holiday, time to relax and do things what you normally can't do, like taking a nap. I played with paper from Beyond the sea from P13. Coloured the image with Prisma pencils and distress the background with some chalk. Used some twine from my recycled stash.

Then we moved back to South Africa and the first few years I did the same, but then we started to take summer holidays over the festive season and I stopped doing it. Well this year we are forced to stay home due to work and I decided to bring back the old custom, with the difference I have asked my eldest and his friend to choose the colour combo. So they decided on purple, white and silver. Surely a lovely combo if you look around on the internet. With my first session of Christmas cards for this year I made 2 and are super excited on how it came out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZyY0X2oAu7-TzGtxQINMYmYUddFZYInqS-XVquT0YAknkJIqdvWjV97XcCRhmjhC3YSwkc-Iqw96bl5lWwkZhV4mPEBFhM2WqSckyKaH-ZP7tEBe1sKJDsXcJ2TJMSR41w8aNWySPGisZm0FjdpsLTmTRQlV535fm9Ji1FAh6rXNOQniHtAtON58l/s400/Nov%20card%20sketch%202022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="309" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZyY0X2oAu7-TzGtxQINMYmYUddFZYInqS-XVquT0YAknkJIqdvWjV97XcCRhmjhC3YSwkc-Iqw96bl5lWwkZhV4mPEBFhM2WqSckyKaH-ZP7tEBe1sKJDsXcJ2TJMSR41w8aNWySPGisZm0FjdpsLTmTRQlV535fm9Ji1FAh6rXNOQniHtAtON58l/s320/Nov%20card%20sketch%202022.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsEibV9i5C1aa23mCV-xlK1DnZan153l_DOqCGgRDrDm05bgQaXMtNp2ygybp99cA5gphFTzzRaOYJJwAmS2Gi9tGFtA8K45SoDZUYfB81tCGA0LEhIxILh8-ArzYUMGVVjbjrVSZscjXp5tMZ3tbQ7XmDn9ilPqNbas_JuVwfHjXCN7jCCGdll2K0/s3012/Slimline.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3012" data-original-width="2023" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsEibV9i5C1aa23mCV-xlK1DnZan153l_DOqCGgRDrDm05bgQaXMtNp2ygybp99cA5gphFTzzRaOYJJwAmS2Gi9tGFtA8K45SoDZUYfB81tCGA0LEhIxILh8-ArzYUMGVVjbjrVSZscjXp5tMZ3tbQ7XmDn9ilPqNbas_JuVwfHjXCN7jCCGdll2K0/s320/Slimline.JPG" width="215" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the first one I used a stencil with Versa Magic's purple hydrangea and peel-off stickers for the sentiment.

I bought these stencil on my last shopping spree. It is 3 different sizes, but in the end it gives you this lovely dimension. I played with some of my new Versa magic inks, galaxy gold, cosmic copper and pumpkin spice. Then I added a die sentiment and rhinestones in the fresh green from <a href="http://colorhuesthecolorchallenge.blogspot.com/2022/10/color-hues-51-orange-and-green.html">colour hues</a> to finish it up. I used the sketch of <a href="http://stickitdown.blogspot.com/2022/10/october-card-team.html">Stick it down</a> and I'm joining in the autumn colours of the <a href="https://thesisterhoodofcrafters.blogspot.com/2022/10/fall-colors.html">Sisterhood of Crafters.</a> This is such a versatile colour combo whether you are in spring or autumn and I thought the sentiment of "Believe" will carry on in the inside with..... in the awe of Christmas, or age is only but a number.......</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It is a bit open for people, like me, that do not celebrate Halloween, to play along. We are sponsored by Mirtillamente and we received a few Halloween images for the challenge to play. I played with orange and a few warm colors and a crisp apple green, all the colors reflected in the designer paper, even found a piece of orange vellum for the right bottom square. I made a normal greeting card since I do not celebrate Halloween. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><i>Challenges I took inspiration from:</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/2022/10/pennys-challenge-532.html">Penny's Paper-Crafty #532</a> - Anything goes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://colorfuloptions.blogspot.com/2022/10/october-2022.html">Colorful Options - October 2022</a> - Orange</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://movingalongwiththetimes.blogspot.com/2022/10/challenge-147-for-october.html">Moving along with time - October</a> - Sketch</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://mirtillamente-challenge.blogspot.com/2022/10/mirtillamente-challenge-14-october-2022.html">Mirtillamente #14</a> - Anything Halloween.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2022/10/octoberfest-challenge.html">Double D</a> - Octoberfest </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thank you for your visit and hope you will come and join us at Creative Moments.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hugs from Africa!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">OlgaB</div><p></p>OlgaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10309803741257071893noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402462292535829335.post-40846155739377895552022-10-05T11:19:00.125+02:002022-10-05T17:14:24.737+02:00Sketch time again!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Good day!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It has been almost 4 months since my last post.

While he had his meetings I took some time of and spend it in one of my favourite craft shops. There I bought some sentiment stamps. Something I haven't done in ages. So for this project I used one of my new dies and stamps. I used some heat embossing with some glitter on the sentiment. I added a dragonfly and fairy die cut. These lovely papers from my stash remind me of the last roses and warm colours of summer / beginning fall. I used the bottom part of a heart die to great the triangle and for the second triangle - left in the corner - I used the rose corner die and fairy. </p><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Challenges I'm joining:</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://craftyfriendschallengeblog.blogspot.com/2022/10/challenge-160-for-october.html">Crafty Friends </a>- Use more than 1 die</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2022/10/octoberfest-challenge.html">Double D</a> - Octoberfest</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://letscreatechallenges.blogspot.com/2022/10/challenge-188-ag-colors-of-fall.html">Let's Craft and create #188</a> - AG with twist of fall colours</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">See you at <a href="http://sweetsketchwednesday2.blogspot.com/2022/10/october-at-sweet-sketch-wednesday-2.html">Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2!</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you and hope you enjoy whatever season you are experiencing!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Hugs from Africa!</div><div style="text-align: left;">OlgaB</div><p></p>OlgaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10309803741257071893noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402462292535829335.post-56279398819807598922022-06-15T09:00:00.000+02:002022-06-15T09:00:37.629+02:00Cheers to Beauty<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz8fLv5ddpou9GBOLzULTjiRADpZpYgFMLbBzK_zsWGWQm7gzdrYU1UxiZAP2oBKWmv6-ted0hJh9pmMemXRhNWbUhH-u7W0N64GHJ9bMpA8_0XKsUjKDj-ZA0uaiJF_4xDwrvVdjhBuL8NUpkA7_reMp8uIhAMdNcK8LNoz1nYui0Fnlze2klpP6-/s3249/To%20beauty%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3249" data-original-width="2407" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz8fLv5ddpou9GBOLzULTjiRADpZpYgFMLbBzK_zsWGWQm7gzdrYU1UxiZAP2oBKWmv6-ted0hJh9pmMemXRhNWbUhH-u7W0N64GHJ9bMpA8_0XKsUjKDj-ZA0uaiJF_4xDwrvVdjhBuL8NUpkA7_reMp8uIhAMdNcK8LNoz1nYui0Fnlze2klpP6-/s320/To%20beauty%20copy.jpg" width="237" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPnYXKCjHoPOBO143Ph3QjOmDhqZLvT94KI2_Cw27mVhHKA3QUAvB2ow_T2_IlZ-hfYooEMlfTWPBv-oTj0AjEJsbWsuunK8m_PmU9L8LzY2be0NLDQj1SgqX6LeqDP2C2bX3qkyUXAbslA6I_7HPL3ETBtgGwPBinYQWg-sxVYP4LaHqbVeqNK67/s400/june%20card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPnYXKCjHoPOBO143Ph3QjOmDhqZLvT94KI2_Cw27mVhHKA3QUAvB2ow_T2_IlZ-hfYooEMlfTWPBv-oTj0AjEJsbWsuunK8m_PmU9L8LzY2be0NLDQj1SgqX6LeqDP2C2bX3qkyUXAbslA6I_7HPL3ETBtgGwPBinYQWg-sxVYP4LaHqbVeqNK67/s320/june%20card.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvZzzRW4GExKhEtucokzz3jpwo6OHX1Ed8fK35znfEpKNR9bllQ3nvilaB5hBfO6u-2sRSJYcgTXHdrdUxyk2DbzoYmBG5PmrVyJxw_P_d_zCqSuBLQJlgQhzDAYdK1FOB_O9dIDzftx4OzsntDnLWgMzmx0WBM8s5wga1OYzLH9cdIAM1M32OwTZr/s320/Mirtillamente%20-%20sponsor.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="228" data-original-width="320" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvZzzRW4GExKhEtucokzz3jpwo6OHX1Ed8fK35znfEpKNR9bllQ3nvilaB5hBfO6u-2sRSJYcgTXHdrdUxyk2DbzoYmBG5PmrVyJxw_P_d_zCqSuBLQJlgQhzDAYdK1FOB_O9dIDzftx4OzsntDnLWgMzmx0WBM8s5wga1OYzLH9cdIAM1M32OwTZr/s1600/Mirtillamente%20-%20sponsor.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> Good day<p></p><p>It is time for a new challenge at Creative moments and we have a fun twist this month of summer fun. We are sponsored by Mirtillamente. I have used <a href="https://www.mirtillamentecraftshop.it/digital-stamps/183-le-gine-dorothy-eng-bw-color.html">Le Gine: Dorothy</a>. I have coloured her with Prisma pencils. She reminds me of warm summer holidays with cocktails at the beach and beautiful sunsets. I probable had a lot of ideas, but in the end I played with warm colours like green and red. The designer paper is from my Sea breeze paper pad from Marianne's design. I used a number emboss folder to go with my sentiment in Afrikaans saying each age has its own beauty.

The theme is all kinds of animals. I used kraft paper as base with some paper from my Safari stack from DCWV. I have personalized it a bit with the baby boy's name. Some brads and buttons was added as finishing touch.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><i>Challenges I'm joining:</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://creativeknockouts.blogspot.com/2022/05/454-for-kids-patties-creations.html">Creative Knockouts #454</a> - For the kids</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/2022/05/week-678-anything-but-birthdays.html">Allsorts - #678</a> - Anything but Birthday</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://thepapershelter.blogspot.com/2022/06/challenge-514-inspired-by-movie.html">The Paper Shelter #514</a> - Inspired by a movie - Lion King</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://movingalongwiththetimes.blogspot.com/2022/06/challenge-143-for-june.html">Moving along with times #143</a> - Masculine/Father's day</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://craftyfriendschallengeblog.blogspot.com/2022/06/challenge-156-for-june.html">Crafty Friends #156</a> - Men or boys</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hope you will come and join us with your lovely creations at <a href="http://sweetsketchwednesday2.blogspot.com/2022/06/jubilee-june-at-sweet-sketch-wednesday-2.html">SSW2. </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hugs from Africa!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">OlgaB</div><p></p>OlgaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10309803741257071893noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402462292535829335.post-78992168367356881992022-05-29T12:08:00.001+02:002022-05-29T12:08:28.251+02:00Baby shower bag<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQFFLieFyzCSfi6v4yIpIAGyxdITuFlxKvC2z40yY7-xE0OyPYrLzBPcOMWxHYrNe92LYg85QaOmC71ED8eySObeli4A6aM2pc6O-M6eP-GmNyqGunQiuMVhAGyupF9xxSDEmNiIXUOW0V4OXIeozqagnu4AmroBt6LkBJC4jLZBLMn6b6U26bt1Tc/s3117/PB%20orig.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3117" data-original-width="3012" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQFFLieFyzCSfi6v4yIpIAGyxdITuFlxKvC2z40yY7-xE0OyPYrLzBPcOMWxHYrNe92LYg85QaOmC71ED8eySObeli4A6aM2pc6O-M6eP-GmNyqGunQiuMVhAGyupF9xxSDEmNiIXUOW0V4OXIeozqagnu4AmroBt6LkBJC4jLZBLMn6b6U26bt1Tc/s320/PB%20orig.JPG" width="309" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSYxKc3_McI-3tH9jLIqP8YPtlbLpqkTlYEvS37A76R5FuqM8L5zLwapdcGjaBWRLOvMzDpeLhMCI2Lo4X_aOpBSb0oGrrjnVUv3rkAQxV38QZkcsSsU2c3MtMnOyeYAkC7kSTbk87hSTFEdTiy58RQrCh9hR09DajjOFNm8wU5APA9CBrxYWcY3CM/s3177/PB%20Colour%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3177" data-original-width="3128" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSYxKc3_McI-3tH9jLIqP8YPtlbLpqkTlYEvS37A76R5FuqM8L5zLwapdcGjaBWRLOvMzDpeLhMCI2Lo4X_aOpBSb0oGrrjnVUv3rkAQxV38QZkcsSsU2c3MtMnOyeYAkC7kSTbk87hSTFEdTiy58RQrCh9hR09DajjOFNm8wU5APA9CBrxYWcY3CM/s320/PB%20Colour%20copy.jpg" width="315" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw-E53SK6QuIwx-WFF2migQpWyD7y5J0kkWefo39_uOri5JlOZ0xXCI_CLplP3MUI-vZMsrpVom3zaQzCMTlvr5W8IJoUl2WOTk0AbPgT50E4dxj2TZ8oCpgd2mkxg7bgJX-3DCylXoaDzJKkQT58PRFIADef5ZDRV2O-vCcqxHHU1_vUHY_NB4cK2/s2151/PB%20image%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2151" data-original-width="1838" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw-E53SK6QuIwx-WFF2migQpWyD7y5J0kkWefo39_uOri5JlOZ0xXCI_CLplP3MUI-vZMsrpVom3zaQzCMTlvr5W8IJoUl2WOTk0AbPgT50E4dxj2TZ8oCpgd2mkxg7bgJX-3DCylXoaDzJKkQT58PRFIADef5ZDRV2O-vCcqxHHU1_vUHY_NB4cK2/s320/PB%20image%20copy.jpg" width="273" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Image from Sheepski design - <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/655849551/mini-me-image-no-174?click_key=189529d68806a1f2dd70b836c44db0d53d312c2a%3A655849551&click_sum=94193c71&ref=shop_home_active_10">Mini me</a></div><br /> Good day<p></p><div style="text-align: left;">Today I want to share with a bag I made from a recycled paper bag that I got when shopping some clothes awhile ago. Lately I tend to keep most of the paper bags for recycling purposes. When I was looking at some images from Andrea at Sheepski Design this image called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/655849551/mini-me-image-no-174?click_key=189529d68806a1f2dd70b836c44db0d53d312c2a%3A655849551&click_sum=94193c71&ref=shop_home_active_10">Mini Me</a> just gave me the inspiration I needed for this baby shower bag I made for a friend's first grandchild. The theme is animals. I also found this paper in my All About boys scrapbook stack and it just fitted the theme, so I kept everything very simple. The base paper is brown mulberry paper golden paisley patterns on and it is like from ages ago. The sentiment is also scrapbook letter stickers, saying congratulations.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b>Challenges I'm joining:</b></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set?set=oa.4970266806362448&type=3">Sheepski design FB #72</a> - For the boys</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://thesisterhoodofcrafters.blogspot.com/2022/05/bag-it.html">The Sisterhood of Crafters</a> - Bag it</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2022/05/challenge-639-recycled.html">C.R.A.F.T #639</a> - Recycle it</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://creativeknockouts.blogspot.com/2022/05/454-for-kids-patties-creations.html">Creative Knockouts #454</a> - For the kids</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/monday-greetings/forum/topics/monday-greetings-challenge-may-23-june-5">The Outlawz Monday Greetings 23 May - 14 June</a> - Anything goes</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/friday-color/forum/topics/festive-fridays-challenge-may-27-to-june-10">The Outlawz Festive Fridays 27 May - 10 June</a> - Anything goes</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you and have a lovely day!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Hugs from Africa!</div><div style="text-align: left;">OlgaB</div>OlgaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10309803741257071893noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402462292535829335.post-57820622508449464202022-05-16T17:40:00.004+02:002022-05-16T17:46:39.968+02:00Let's make music!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMFL0dhqhkWl5DCUWjDanY4nB247MKW3fdrCwykkhPYse-rAO0UMNYIuwSZ5LvnY33uIWGk6PS5u841krEQlrL7N5l0RWkipCLmKud0fAvzdK32x3WqVndksIUdyz6wuzHXKQpEG0oxFBztLUdG8zHg-zhkrE_za2OBK8Yzot6WYJ7Kqj2ciAs9ND9/s3243/Tori%20famous%20copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3243" data-original-width="3221" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMFL0dhqhkWl5DCUWjDanY4nB247MKW3fdrCwykkhPYse-rAO0UMNYIuwSZ5LvnY33uIWGk6PS5u841krEQlrL7N5l0RWkipCLmKud0fAvzdK32x3WqVndksIUdyz6wuzHXKQpEG0oxFBztLUdG8zHg-zhkrE_za2OBK8Yzot6WYJ7Kqj2ciAs9ND9/s320/Tori%20famous%20copy.jpg" width="318" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7yJlL1pluXvbxZjP1k3m-sK126VUpAt9BiN-dHrGJbSy4EwNxYgwL2Nd4UKJufME556Y1DcLDJWgux5_gzqTwMg130AC5mwVEdT5RX_I1MR1mptOtzkMtEGqMEaj-mpaHKf8PY4RJ15wwk_fnS2AyLUH3Ij8w6mGtLsmVl8iheMbgHVEm296-nx7F/s320/2%20sisters%20may.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="319" data-original-width="320" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7yJlL1pluXvbxZjP1k3m-sK126VUpAt9BiN-dHrGJbSy4EwNxYgwL2Nd4UKJufME556Y1DcLDJWgux5_gzqTwMg130AC5mwVEdT5RX_I1MR1mptOtzkMtEGqMEaj-mpaHKf8PY4RJ15wwk_fnS2AyLUH3Ij8w6mGtLsmVl8iheMbgHVEm296-nx7F/s1600/2%20sisters%20may.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Good day</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is another special requested project for a friend of mine's granddaughter.

I played with papers from my stash and created one of my favourite theme projects: Music. I have coloured the image with my prisma pencils, though I still need some practice on a darker skin tone. Dies are from Crealies and Lea Crealies.

I also decided to make a window card with the image on the inside with an Afrikaans sentiment stamped in front with a little butterfly brad. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Challenges I'm joining: </i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://digichoosday.blogspot.com/2022/05/wk-19-anything-goes-card-making.html">Digi Choosday Wk 19</a> - Anything goes</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://cheerfulsketcheschallenge.blogspot.com/2022/05/mei-challenge.html">Cheerful Sketches </a>- May</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2022/05/challenge-637-anything-goes.html">C.R.A.F.T #637</a> - Anything goes</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://creativeknockouts.blogspot.com/2022/05/452-anything-goes-mirtillamente-digital.html">Creative Knockouts #452</a> - Anything goes</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/prismaandothermediums/forum/topics/twisted-thursdays-may-5th-18th-anything-goes-twist-sponsor-conie-">The Outlawz Twisted Thursday 5 - 18 May</a> - Sentiment down under</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Hope you will come and join us at <a href="https://carabbiemomentsofcraft.blogspot.com/2022/05/challenge-234-summers-here.html">Creative Moments</a>!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Hugs from Africa!</div><div style="text-align: left;">OlgaB</div><p></p>OlgaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10309803741257071893noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402462292535829335.post-24768140445670605862022-05-04T11:53:00.004+02:002022-05-04T11:53:36.658+02:00For my mother<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAm8MOyAS8uwv5CWTeeUi9QKqOOcKKCRlayCya8FbDQs0VSVCKja0rbaHZC2Qx3rScJRy_MK8AKbREgoATTPeZE7PAvs4j3gbyr96-lUOoVYWej74IXU306UbLie2Wq4ejQiFymtPMfDpK5pu4FH-svptmDYbFLJz0DzR5BFAR-R4a7lYBhbGizKsZ/s2985/Cosmos%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2985" data-original-width="1940" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAm8MOyAS8uwv5CWTeeUi9QKqOOcKKCRlayCya8FbDQs0VSVCKja0rbaHZC2Qx3rScJRy_MK8AKbREgoATTPeZE7PAvs4j3gbyr96-lUOoVYWej74IXU306UbLie2Wq4ejQiFymtPMfDpK5pu4FH-svptmDYbFLJz0DzR5BFAR-R4a7lYBhbGizKsZ/s320/Cosmos%20copy.jpg" width="208" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFloe61UFsHrBUUDt_UqPOlB_prsrA9N5nfdgMIhEXEacK5q29RxW1qxIOgELl0C2gZBWu_ppt7v20Z0RQTJrEeI86QCCmyJy_3O5GAMY_79cp7oqV7hpIlzmDZYkrqXcAND48r9MDiqlQz2j-wavZDGp40Rk3XubqtXsfKG7GXz8w7NyUiBmQ7XXt/s1373/FB_IMG_1649005833020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1373" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFloe61UFsHrBUUDt_UqPOlB_prsrA9N5nfdgMIhEXEacK5q29RxW1qxIOgELl0C2gZBWu_ppt7v20Z0RQTJrEeI86QCCmyJy_3O5GAMY_79cp7oqV7hpIlzmDZYkrqXcAND48r9MDiqlQz2j-wavZDGp40Rk3XubqtXsfKG7GXz8w7NyUiBmQ7XXt/s320/FB_IMG_1649005833020.jpg" width="252" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>With permission of a friend of mine I share with you this photo of a cosmos field in the Free State. </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Good day</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I played with the freebie from Pattie's creations for April called cosmos.
