Halllllllooooooo

My Dear Arty Scrappy & Cardmaking Friends,

how have you been doing??

Well, I enjoyed making these last few cards for Feeling Sketchy tremendously...
and this is my second last card for this lovely Card Challenge Blog...

This week I would like to share with you my card:
*Birthday Wishes*
I created for the Design Team at Feeling Sketchy  #140
with today's date 3-1-16.

Michelle van Wyk, yet again, designed a STUNNING

sketch for us to work with!!

How gorgeous is this??? 

Can it get any better???

Love it!!!

♥♥♥

Well, off cause I enjoyed myself tremendously creating this card...

I made the flowers with chiffon by cutting a whole lot of circles freehand and burning all around each one of them with the flame of a candle.  I always enjoy the process of making my own flowers and loving how they turn out different each time.  So special vs bought ones!

 My card...

 *Birthday Wishes*






And another view... ;-)

I combined two of Marion Smith's collections
Motley and Mad Tea Party for this card.

I also used Stickles for the glittery touch.

With some close ups...

I love this Perfectly Imperfect feather...
so "real life", so magical.
No pretenses. No lies.
Just real.

 

As I said in my previous post, I have decided to take some time "off"  from too many outside commitments as my schedule is somewhat hectic at this stage.
I am still scrapbooking here and there when I find some free time
{I will always... it is so part of me, I just cannot leave it alone :-)},
but not sharing much on social media.

I surely hope you enjoy creating with this sketch and with us at Feeling Sketchy and that I have inspired you today and made you smile!

Please do leave some love,
so that I too, can know that I have inspired!!

Thank you so much for visiting and have a lovely day!!

Hugs

Let's Scrap Sketch 2-15-16 ~ *Woodbush Forest*

Well Hello There My Dear Arty Scrappy Friends,

Remember I told you about our INCREDIBLE holiday when we visited the lovely Limpopo Province in December 2015??
Well... this week I decided to scrap the magical photos I took in the Woodbush Forest,
just outside Tzaneen in the quaint village of Magoebaskloof.


I have sad news though... this would be my last Design Team layout for my much loved Let's Scrap blog for now... I have been on the Let's Scrap DT a few times now over the years, also before when we were on the .ning site and dear Betty Ann was still "in charge"... I met so many wonderful ladies through this beautiful and super special hobby of ours and especially through Let's Scrap...
and I will never forget any of them.  Let's Scrap has become so much part of my life
and has a very special place in my heart.  But for now I will be stepping back and taking a break...
My life has been super hectic, actually beyond super hectic the last weeks, sometimes I truly do not know where to start and where to leave...

I have so many ideas in my head and in my heart though... {so this is definitely not a goodbye},
 
...but first, I need to calm down my head,
my heart and my soul and find my peace again.

So... enough of me already...
here is the beautiful Sketch #2-15-16
designed by the ever so talented Michelle van Wyk...
