Autumn scene

Good Day

Though almost everybody in blogland is celebrating autumn, we are celebrating spring, though I have to admit that our current weather is a bit odd. It is still kind of cool, round 20-22°C maximum. I do hope the weather will sort it out this coming month so we can have some summer in December.
It is time for a new colour challenge at the Outlawz and I just could not resist these lush colours and their cute inspirational photo! The digi is from Beccy's place....can't remember, but I think it was a freebie a while ago. I've coloured it with H2O and I used pigment ink for the distressing. The papers is from my stash and the leave swirls is done with a Marianne's design Creatables.

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Good Day

I played with some of my coloured digis on my table this morning. It was fun to play with some fresh spring colours for a change. This is a digi that I took from a online colouring book( sorry can't remember which one) almost a year ago for a challenge and I just never used it.....you know one of those action of I want to do this, but by the time I can finish it, the challenge had expired. The striped paper is from First Edition's Spring Drop and the rest is left overs in my stash. I just added some charms as finishing touch.

Good Day

Currently I'm occupied between school activities and preparations for our annual Christmas market. So, another 2 week of running around before I can relax and think of the end of the year preparations.

Hubby spoiled me with new Creatables from Marianne's design and I really looked for a reason to use them and a nice autumn card was just the right reason. This is a fall fairy digi from Digistamp4Joy, I used H2O and some Perfect Pearl powder from Ranger for the wings, to colour it. All the papers is from stash and the card stock from Mahé. I used 2 ribbons on top of each other on the orange mulberry paper. Gold pearls, 3 orange brads and the leave diecuts, finish the picture.

Little birdie told me.....

Good Day

Saturated Canary had a freebie over the weekend and I just could not resist bringing her to life on paper and while I joined Tuesday Morning Sketches last week and they invited me over to Theresa's virtual party, not only celebrating her birthday but also because she is a survivor. I just could not resist with this beauty! She looks so fragile with the newly born birdie on her side. This time I really had to dig deep into my stash. I used this rose vellum paper of which I am very stingy as well as the ivory cardstock. The Spellbinder diecut laid on my table from a previous project for which I did not used. The corner is done with a Cuttlebug template. and the flowers and pearls are from my stash and the digi was coloured with H2O pencils.

Challenges I'm joining:
Sketch 'n Stash #99 - Sketch

Special day celebrations

Good Day

Since last week Wednesday I played with ideas on how to join the Play Date Café's big birthday bash! Last night it started to take form in my head and I had a moment to put it to paper this afternoon. The only difference is that my Best Wishes rubber stamp saw the end of its life, so I had to improvise with something else. In the end I used my Inkadinkado stamps fro the swirls and for the sentiment. I also used some glitter heat embossing on the sentiment. Added a ribbon for a finishing touch.

Challenges I'm joining:
The Play Date Café #154 - Purple, Mulberry & flame
Charisma Cardz #41 - Clean and simple
Fashionista #8 - Anything goes

Thank you

Sea you around

Good Day

This time I played around with my favourite all-time technique. I used to do a lot of decoupage or 3D cards in the past, but with digital medium I became spoiled. For today I've combined the two. This pelican were a freebie at the beginning of the month at Digistamp4Joy. Their new challenge started on Wednesday, with anything goes with the twist of a masculine card. As all challenge blogs, they prefer to see their own images. I played with a few option and then I remembered this 3D papers I have and thought this will do. Create a sea frame. I kept the papers neutral, with only embossing and a touch of a gold glitter pen. I have a scrapbook template for the sea star, but had to modify it to fit to the project and then just added some peel off sentiment.

Challenges I'm joining:
Digistamp4Joy # 53 - Anything goes with a masculine twist
Sweet Sketch Wednesday #176 - Sketch 
One Stop Craft Challenge #201 - Anything goes
Fussy and Fancy #74 - Anything goes

Typical SA male diet

 Di's Digi's Grill King

 The Outlawz Tuesday Colour combo with twist of cooking

Sketch Twisted Tuesday with the twist of using glitter/shimmer spray

Good Day
Traditionally in South Africa we love to have a barbecue over weekends. We love meat and a lot of it too. We also tend to joke to say a typical male diet in our country is a piece of meat in the one hand and a beer in the other. With Outlawz twist I played around with a few options but in the end this Grill King Digi from Di's Digis just had the head sart. I used paper from my stash and on the striped green paper I used some shimmer mist. Hope it is visible on the photo. For the first time in ages I used my star corner punch and added some star brads in the corners.
Challenges I'm joining:
The Outlawz Tuesday 10/16 Colour combo with the twist of cooking
Sketch Twisted Tuesday 2TC28 - Sketch with the twist of shimmer mist
