Artist Trading Card

Weereens 'n eerste vir my...weereens vir die SAS-y Layout Design Contest. Hierdie keer gaan dit oor wie en wat ek is.  

Hoop dit gee 'n klein kykie binne Christelle se wêreld!

Ek's 'n Christen, MAL oor rooi, rooi rose en wit daisies, cocktails en die wêreld vol REIS, en lees.  Ek het ook 'n baie sagte plekkie vir aandrokke! Koffie is 'n daaglikse moet...'n hele paar keer per dag! En dan natuurlik digi-scrapping ook..

~Once again a first for me..once again for the SAS-y Layout Design Contest. This time it's all about who I am and what I am...

Hope this gives a small peek into Christelle world! 

I'm a Christian, looove red, reading, red roses and white daisies, cocktails and traveling the world over and reading. I also have a very weak spot for evening dresses! Coffee is a daily must...a few times a day! And then obviously digi-scrapping too..~

Irish Coffee

ROFL... Ek kon nie hierdie aanhaling weerstaan nie.  Ons moes 'n aanhaling met humor gebruik het vir die GDS Quote Challenge.  Die aanhaling deur Alex Levine lees soos volg: "Only irish coffee provides in a single glass all 4 essential food groups: fat, caffeine, sugar and alcohol".  

Weereens kom die foto's van my Europa trippie in Maart/April 2008. Raai wat het ek meeste van die tyd gedoen!!

~ROFL... I couldn't resist this quote.  We had to use a humorous quote for the GDS Quote Challenge.  Quote reads: "Only irish coffee provides in a single glass all 4 essential food groups: fat, caffeine, sugar and alcohol" - Alex Levine.  

Once again the photo's are from my Europe trip in March/April 2008.  Guess what I did most of the time!!~

Meet me @ the garden gate

LOL Hierdie titel kom van 'n plantnaam...weet nie hoe die plant lyk nie, maar Suzanne wil o.a. sulke ene hê vir haar tuin. Onnodig om te sê het ek dit nie gekoop nie, ek't maar gegaan vir 'n Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow en 'n paar Lobelia plantjies. 

In elk geval, dis nou die titel vir die bladsy wat ek gemaak het vir die Scraplift Challenge by GDS.  Die oorspronklike bladsy is hier.  Die foto is geneem toe ons vroeër hierdie jaar by 'n troue in Clarens was.

~LOL The title comes from the name of a plant..I don't know what the plant looks like, but Suzanne wants one for her garden.  Needless to say..I didn't buy one, but rather settled for a Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow and a few Lobelia plants.

Anyway, that's the title of the LO I did for the Scraplift Challenge at GDS.  The original LO is here.  The photo was taken in Clarens when we went there for a wedding earlier this year.~

One in a million

Nog 'n foto van ons besoek aan Keukenhof. Ek kon nie wag om 'n bladsy hiervan te maak nie - die een geel tulp tussen al die rooies het dadelik my aandag getrek! Ek het die bladsy gemaak vir die Techniques Challenge by GDS - ons moes selective colouring gebruik.

~Another photo of our visit to Keukenhof.  I couldn't wait to make a page with it - the one yellow tulip between all the red ones immediately caught my attention! I made the page for the Techniques Challenge at GDS - we had to use selective colouring.~

Girls Night

'n Foto van ons finalejaarsdinee in 2004. Ek wou graag 'n bladsy maak wat lyk soos my kamer na 'n optof sessie voor 'n dinee. Dit was ook my inskrywing vir die finale rondte van GDS se Supreme Team kompetisie. Die kit wat ons gekry het, was Andrea's Possibilities page kit - Andrea Gold.

~A photo taken on our final year (of University) dine in 2004. I wanted to make a page resembling my room after getting ready for a dine.  This was also my entry for the final round of the GDS Supreme Team contest. This time wee got Andrea's Possibilities page kit (Andrea Gold) to work with.~

GDS Round 3

Woopwoop... Ek't dit gemaak na die 3e rondte van GDS se Supreme Team kompetisie! Hierdie keer het ons Veronica Hurly se "Delightful page kit" gekry...dit was moeilik om te besluit wat om te gebruik en wat om liewers in 'n volgende poging te gebruik!! Hier's my bladsy:

~Woopwoop... (that one's a kind of universal sound I think!?) I made it to round 3 of the GDS Supreme Team contest! This time we got Veronica Hurly's "Delightful page kit". It was difficult to decide what to use and what to leave for another page! Here's my LO:~

Ek het ook die volgende bladsy met Delightful gemaak. Dis foto's van Keukenhof, toe ons in April daar was.

~I also made the following page with Delightful.  The photo's are of Keukenfhof, from our trip there in April.~

No ears

Hierdie "coffee kit" brand al lankal om gebruik te word.  Toe besluit ek op die foto van my ma en pa op Frankfurt Treinstasie, toe ons oppad was om vir Hans te gaan kuier in Duitsland.  Die koppies het nie ore gehad nie!  Natuurlik weet ek nie of mens die ore "ears" noem in Engels nie..Maar nouja! Ek het ook later bietjie verander aan die bladsy, met die 2e bladsy as gevolg.  Besluit nog of ek daarvan hou...

Dit was ook gedoen vir die Principles and Elements  Challenge by GDS.

~This "coffee kit" has been nagging me to be used.  I then decided to use the photo of my parents on Frankfurt Station, when we were on our way to visit Hans in Germany.  The cups didn't have ears! Obviously I don't know if that's what it's called in English. LOL.  Oh well.  Later on I decided to change the page a bit, with the second one as result. I'm still deciding whether I like it or not.  It was done for the Principles and Elements challenge at GDS.~

All will be revealed

Ek wou graag 'n "girly" bladsy maak...En hier is die resultaat! Ek het dit gemaak vir die SAS Layout Design Challenge se tweede rondte.

~I wanted to make a girly page...And here is the result! I made this page for the SAS Layout Design Challenge's second round.~

~And the page underneath is my final page for the first round.  I changed the drop shadows, journaling and title.~

*See post below for credits*

'n Dubbelbladsy LO vir die SAS Layout Design Challenge. Die klem het geval op drop shadows.  Hierdie is my eerste poging, ek moet nog hoor watter opbouende kritiek hulle lewer!!

Die eerste prentjie is die 2 bladsye saam, die ander 2 is die aparte bladsye.

~A double page LO for the SAS Layout Design Challenge.  The focus was on dropshadows.  This is my first attempt, I'm still waiting to hear what constructive criticism they'll give!! The first image is of both pages together, and the other 2 are the seperate pages. ~

Title:
"Woman's Day with the ladies"

Journaling:

"My sister-in-law and I had the opportunity to be hostesses at a Woman's day tea in 2008. We had to set and decorate the table, and keep the ladies happy & company through the day. What an experience for both of us!! The day was quite enjoyable for all round."

Hierdie bladsy was vir 'n "crop" op GDS - daar is 8 instruksies gegee deur die loop van 'n naweek, bv. kies 3 foto's, of 2 papiere, ens.  Hier is my bladsy:

~This LO was for a crop at GDS - we got 8 prompts over the course of a weekend, e.g. choose 3 photo's, or 2 papers, etc.  Here is my page: ~

Nog 'n bladsy vir 'n challenge - hier het ek ronde goete gebruik en self die woorde uit "papier" gemaak.  Foto's is van Yazelle net voor sy begin kruip het - sy het wel al geoefen!

~ Another page for a challenge - here I used round stuff and cut the title out of a background paper.  Photo's are of Yazelle just before she started crawling - she did practice though! ~

Ja ek weet..wat 'n opskrif! Maar dit beskryf my dag. Ek weet nie wat my besiel het nie, maar ek het ingeskryf vir die creative team kompetisie van GDS (die scrapbook website). Ons eerste pogings moet Maandag op die laaste in wees. Toe het ek maar gepoog om dit vandag klaar te kry. Want ek moet mos nog die familiesaamtrek se slideshow maak. Ai tog! 

Ons het 'n kit verniet gekry om te gebruik - Helen Ehrenhofer se "Mom's Garden".

Die foto hierbo was my eerste poging.

En sy variasie:

~ What a day! I don't know why I did this...But I entered the creative team contest at GDS (the scrapbook webpage). Our first attempts have to be in by Monday. So I tried to finish mine today.  I still have to make the family weekend's slideshow too! Oh goodness.

Anyway.  We got a kit FREE to use in this round- Helen Ehrenhofer's "Mom's Garden"

The first picture was my first try...And the one below is the variation: ~

Maar toe's ek nie happy nie. Hier is my finale poging:

~but I wasn't happy... Below is my final attempt:~

Nou sal ons maar sien hoe dit gaan.... Hou duime vas! 

~now we'll just have to wait and see how it goes.. Hold thumbs!~
