Pink

The theme at Mixed Media Monday is pink in honour of Breast Cancer month. After the initial shock of using a colour I almost never use, I had quite a bit of fun making this gift box. The heart button is embellished with beads.

Metal

I’ve been lurking at Mixed Media Monday for a while now, and finally I just HAD to take part.  Thanks so much for this week’s theme.

I’ve been painting a sleeping girl in acrylics, and was wondering what she should be holding. This week’s metal theme gave me an idea.

Plaid

I’ve taken a bit of a break from blogging, but decided that it’s time to return to it. My life is just so much more relaxed at the moment, as I am not trying to juggle two careers any more.

This is my entry for the latest Inspire Me Thursday topic, which is plaid. Not really knowing where to start I browsed through all my photos, and found this cutie of Clinton wearing plaid pants on his first birthday. I used elements from the Hopping Frog kit by Studio Lorie.

Here is another layout of Donovan, who hates denim and tomatoes.

Holiday photos

I had two days off and spent just about all of it sorting through my photos and scrapbooking.  It’s been SO MUCH fun because I really didn’t have a single moment for myself since this year started. Here’s some of the layouts I’ve done:

Here’s some photos of our long week-end at Yzerfontein. We had so much fun.

Two

This weeks challenge at IMT is two.  I just had to do something with the photos of our first weekend away in the caravan. And a weekend does have 2 days.

2008

I decided to keep my resolutions for 2008 as simple as possible.  I really want to slow down and enjoy the ride a lot more. All these photos were taken during the holiday on different day-trips.

Ice

This weeks IMT prompt is ice.  I froze a few different things and took them to the beach to photograph. I must say that it was a LOT of fun.

Hats

This week’s inspirational prompt at IMT is hats.  This was just so much fun! This is me when I was about one year old.

Birds

Here’s my IMT entry.  The theme is birds!

Cute isn’t it.
