I have taken a few days leave over the the Easter break and am so enjoying the time that I have to spend upstairs in my craft-room. It's really cosy up here with my iPod playing relaxing music and I have a view of the activity going on outside. I have an unlimited wireless internet setup at home and really enjoy streaming South African radio stations. Jacaranda FM and KFM are my two faves!!
I have committed to as few things as possible this week, so that I can just relax upstairs here, and already I have completed three lay outs and one canvas. The canvas is a first-timer for me, but more about that another day.
I would like to share with you a really cute LO of my little niece Jessica. Look at the absolute delight on her face!!! She knows that this 'toy' is usually 'out of bounds'!!
Clearly she is showing signs of high intelligence by knowing instinctively how to touch type at the age of 2!!! ... Obviously I'm not a biast Aunty!!
A close up of the beautiful Kaisercraft paper with matching embellishments. I also used Prima flowers. I used some Inkessensials Crackle Accents on the blue flower on the paper in the foreground giving it some *pop* on the page. I used the same product for the bouquet of flowers higher up.
The next LO that I did is a beautiful photo of my Mom and Dad. They were going to Tristan's christening last year. I don't have too many photos of just my Mom and Dad, so wanted to add this one to my memory book! Don't they look ever so glam!
This stunning large teal flower is from Bella! Fancy Florals, and the rest are either hand made by me (lighter green flower to the right in front) and Blossoms by Vivaldi (pale pink and cream) and the blue one at the top is Prima.
This is also a hand made flower by me - I made it ages ago when I felt like playing around in my craft room but didn't have the mojo to do an actual lay out. The colour is absolutely perfect to compliment the paper and colour scheme of this page.
I have completed another lay out but after I took the photos I decided that I wanted to still do one or two things to it. I will post that one in my next blogpost because I now need to take more photos. I am so excited about the canvas that I have just completed. It's my first attempt so look forward to sharing it with you soon.
I hope you have all had a wonderful Easter long weekend and if you are travelling - please go safely.
Take Care and lots of love
Angie
