Floral Tribute

I discovered Teesha Moore’s blog recently, and I must admit I’m hooked. Isn’t she fabulous? I tried using some of her techniques to create my floral tribute for Mixed Media Monday.

Mothers

As mothers day is on it’s way, this week the MMM topic is mothers. I had a lot of fun, as I always do when I take part.

The poem in the background is by George MacDonald:

Where did you come from baby dear?
Out of the everywhere, into the here.

Where did you get your eyes so blue?
Out of the sky when I came through.

What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as I went by.

What makes your cheek like a warm, white rose?
Something better than anyone knows.

Where did you get that pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.

How did they all just come to be you?
God thought about me and so I grew.

But how did you come to us Baby Dear?
God thought of you, and so I am here.

Weekend at Palmiet

We spent a glorious weekend camping at Palmiet. It was so much fun to do nothing but spend time together.

Romance

This is the topic for this weeks Mixed Media Monday. Since I am no good with words, I decided to create a valentines card for my hubby to show him with images why I love him. These are little things he does to make me feel special.

What was she thinking

I recently completed this painting of a Ndebele woman and added some digi for the MMM challenge of this week.

As always the challenge was great fun. Thanks so much.

Bedtime Stories

Bedtime stories, the topic at Mixed Media Monday was the perfect inspiration I needed to start my altered book project with. I just had to use this photo of my son falling asleep while listening to his bedtime story cd.

Thank you so much for this fantastic topic.

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.
