You rock!

Good day

I'm still on the roll to make some boy cards. This is a digi from Bugaboo and is called Rock Star Boy. The designer paper I used is a two-tone holographic paper  with my Virtuoso Music die from Memory Box and in the back ground I used black gauze paper from DCWV. I used silver wet embossing on the stars and added a Afrikaans sentiment before printing.

A monsterous birthday

Good day

I had won some beautiful Bugaboo stamps and my boy helped me to pick some. I really have a shortage of boy cards and images, so here are the first of few to come. This is monster #1 and I used paper from my DCWV The Grade School stack. I also used a new Spellbinder die and turned the sketch to fit the image. Ribbon and brads are from my stash.

Spring thoughts

Good day

I had the opportunity to buy some new paper last Saturday. Always a BIG thing in a crafter's life. This is the 1st image from Digistamp4Joy's facebook progressive challenge and I thought the paper from First Edition's Paper Flower stack, would suite it well, since a friend of mine was in and out of the hospital lately and she could do with something more cheerful.

Island style

Good day

This is Boozy Brian from Lacy Sunshine and he looks as if he is having some island fun. For a while I escaped to his island while making this card. Lacy Sunshine has a challenge of adding something wild on facebook. Since I stay in Africa, I don't see it as wild, rather normal. That is why I chose this image as a bit of wild. The DP is from my touch of foil from DCWV. The rest is from my stash. I used a Fiskar emboss plate for the left paper. Dies used: 2-die4 leaves & Spellbinder A2 Curved matting basics A and x-cut to round the corners.

Turning 16

Good day


A young lady turned 16 and her grandmother asked me for a card. This is Hannah from Lacy Sunshine and it suited her perfect. Apparently she wants to go to Paris one day and I could not fit the paper to make the printed Eiffel tower visible, then I decided to use the die and stamp from Sizzix to add the Eiffel tower. Paper from True Romance from Kaiser Craft.
