Good day

I took inspiration from this lovely sketch from Less is More, though I 'm not playing along with them. It just suited my idea for the use of the eyelets. Paper is from my stash. I used a Nellie Snellen heart die and the sentiment is a clear stamp from Pink Petticoat and I used silver wet embossing.

Wild thing

Good day

During our summer holiday I was privileged to spent some time in a craft shop and buy some new stuff. I've saw this lovely die set, from Creative Expressions - African Adventure, for quite a while now. Since I stay in Africa and it is part of my veins I just had to have it. I also bought the paper there and it is from The Lady Pattern paper collection. The square designer paper is from DCWV 's safari chic stack. I used a Fiskar diamond border punch. I have to admit that the idea started with the theme of diamonds and nature.

Challenges I took inspiration from:
The Male Room #103 - Nature
Aud Sentiment #219 - Anything goes with a sentiment
Tuesday Morning Sketches #487
Crazy 4 Challenges #468 - Celebrate

Good day

Just another quick post, though this is a very difficult style for me. CAS.

Designer paper is from Marianne's design and I used some of my new pearls I have bought this holiday.

New year, a new school

Good day

While I was on holiday I had time to brows through a craft shop, such divine time any crafter will say. Well since I love a music theme I bought some nice coloured music paper and today is the first time I can showcase some of it. I just love this teal colour and it fitted the picture so much. I made this card for a friend of mine's daughter who have started High School this year. New beginnings!
This is mage is from Sheepski design and the sentiment from Desert Diva. Quite simple.
