Hi Everyone,
    Its been a very long time since my last post but I'm hoping the wait will be worth it. I am excited to be using the newly launched, proudly South African paper range, Penelope Dee by the well know Glenda Viljoen. Her first collection is called Blooming Fields and it is truly breathtaking.

                                         

The kit I have created using this collection is called Wildflowers and is particularly suitable for more feminine photos. The layout can accommodate 6 photos of varying sizes and would suit both colour or black and white pics.

The paper collection offers a beautiful section of elements that can be fussy cut to add detail to the layout. The left side of the layout has been distress crumpled with the help of some water.

                                                

Handmade roses add to the floral elements on the page. I will do a follow up post with instructions and photos on how to create these roses.

                                        

Glass pebbles add dimension and interest to the layout, while giving the option to personalize your layout a bit by giving you the choice of image you wish to feature.

Hi everyone,
   I have a new kit available. This one is called Catch your Dreams and it is a little Boho inspired featuring a handmade dreamcatcher.

The layout can accommodate 8 photos of varying sizes, on a colour palette of turquoise, red, black and white.

The kit includes instructions on how to weave the dreamcatcher and the feathers are also handmade from printed and plain papers.

The title is featured within a cluster of complimenting elements, raised on foam to add dimension.

Hi everyone,
   I have a new kit available. This one is called Simple Pleasures and can fit 6 photos of varying sizes. The theme allows you to use virtually any photos on your layout. The kit includes this stunning paper in blues.

The layout features handmade flowers resembling pinwheels. These flowers have been printed for you so you just have to cut them out and put them together.

The addition of the doily adds to the feminine feel the flowers create.

Foam flocking on the die cut leaves add a softness to the layout.

Hi Everyone,
   There is a new kit available and this one is all about travel and sight seeing. The kit is called WHAT A VIEW and can accommodate quite a few small pictures in the hide-away pull out.

Hi Everyone,
   Happy Easter to you all. I have a new kit available and this one is a super girlie layout called
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL. This layout is created using Fabscraps paper and lots of feminine elements and can accommodate 5 photos.

The pink, grey and black coloured layout incorporates lace, buttons and a zip to emphasize the softness of the theme.

An over sized lacy doily, along with the floral cluster, also adds to the feminine feel.

The chipboard title completes the layout

Hi Everyone,
   So we are well into 2015 and Valentines day is approaching. With this in mind I designed a layout focused around the month of love.

The new kit layout is called JUST US and is perfect for those couples photos or even wedding pics. I have used photos of my daughter and her very special pup.

To keep things interesting I haven't used traditional valentines colouring but rather used this amazing paper from Simple Stories in black, white and "gold". The layout is simple and effective allowing the 5 photos to take "centre stage".

A cluster of elements carries the title and adds interest.

The 3 dimensional hearts emphasize the theme and colour of the layout, while the brick pattern helps to link all the elements together.

Hi Everyone,
   I'm back with a new kit. This one is called INTO THE WILD and is themed around outdoor activities.A great one with summer arriving. Unfortunately, between not having much in the way of outdoor pics and also not having a decent photo shop around here anymore, I have had to create my layout without photos this time.
The layout can accommodate 6 photos of varying sizes and would be perfect for picnic pics. The colours are mainly blue, red and green, with some natural tones in between.

I have included some distressing techniques and some dry brushing with white paint. As well as masking and inking,

The colourful flags add a fun element to the page.

The lace and the roses carry the fresh outdoor theme through.
