Ice Cream Face - Twitterpated

Nog 'n bladsy met Twitterpated van One Memo. Die kleure het my herinner aan roomys... En die heerlike wit en bruin draairoomys wat ek in Houtbaai geëet het in Desember 2008.

~Another LO with Twitterpated by One Memory At a Time. The colours reminded me of ice cream... And the lovely chocolate and vanilla soft serve I had in Houtbay in December 2008.~

Glimpses of Rome

Hierdie fantastiese kit van Karla's Kaleidoscope is February 365 (seker ideaal bedoel vir project 365 lol). Ek't besluit om 'n paar grepies van Rome te scrap daarmee.

~This fabulous kit by Karla's Kaleidoscope is called February 365 (I guess ideally made for project 365 lol). I decided to scrap some glimpses of Rome with it...~

Ek't hierdie kaartjie vir my skoonsus gemaak. Sy's mal oor tuinmaak, en nou het hulle na 'n kleiner woonstel getrek, waar sy nie 'n tuin het nie! Natuurlik het al die plante saamgetrek...in potte!

~I made this note for my sister in law, an avid gardener, who had to move to a smaller apartment, with NO garden! Needless to say all the plants went with - in pots...~

Love Affair

Ek het die ongelooflike voorreg gehad om met 'n mede Suid-Afrikaner se kit Love Affair te werk. Trudie (aka ScrapBrat Designs) is so 'n oulike dame! En om te dink sy bly 'n halfuur van my af.. Klein wêreld! Ek het natuurlik groot pret gehad met haar fantastiese kit. Dankie Trudie!! Kry hierdie ongelooflike stelletjie by Color Line Design of DigiDesignResort.

~I had the distinct pleasure of working with a fellow South African's kit, Love Affair. Trudie (aka ScrapBrat Designs) turned out to be such a sweet lady! What a small world - she lives 30 min's drive from me... And I had a ball playing with this fantastic kit. Thank you Trudie!! Go grab this fabulous kit at Color Line Design or DigiDesignResort. ~

Eerstens is my vriende Nicky en Monique op hulle troudag in 2007. Monique is ook my amperse baas en die tweetjies is my amperse bure. Kan nie wag nie!

~First up are my friends Nicky and Monique on their wedding day in 2007. Monique is also my soon-to-be boss and both of them my soon-to-be neighbours.. Can't wait!! ~

Ek het die fantastiese Catalina mini kit van Christy Skaggs gebruik vir die Januarie bladsy van 'n kalender wat ek gemaak het. Is hierdie kit nie pragtig nie?

In love with you - Verena Karolyi

Hier is 2 bladsye wat ek met In Love with you van Verena Karolyi gemaak het. Ek was MAL oor hierdie kit! Dis hoekom ek nie kon ophou na 1 bladsy nie. Die eerste een het foto's van my niggie se troue in 2008, en die 2e een is van my broer en sy vrou op hulle troue in 2007. Is hulle nie net die oulikste paartjie nie?!

~Here are 2 LO's I made with In Love with you by Verena Karolyi. I absolutely loved this kit! That's why I couldn't stop at just on LO. The first one has pics from my cousin's wedding in 2008, while the 2nd LO is of my brother and his wife on their wedding day in 2007. Don't they just make the cutest couple?~

Countdown (Miracle Kit)

Die aftel na (my broer se dogtertjie) klein Yazelle se geboorte...

Ek het One Memory At a Time se kit "Miracle" gebruik, want watter groter wonderwerk bestaan as die geboorte van 'n kindjie? Hierdie kit is pragtig en is ontwerp vir seuntjies, dogtertjies EN mamma's!

~The countdown to (my niece) little Yazelle's birth...

I used One Memory At a Time's kit "Miracle", because what bigger miracle exists than the birth of a little baby? This kit is beautiful and is designed for both girls and boys and mommies too! ~

Big Ben - Wendy Mini Kit

My pa (Tom) met Big Ben in die agtergrond. Hierdie bladsy was vir Veronica se quote challenge by GDS, en ons moes eers 'n foto kies en DAN 'n quote gaan soek! Dit was toe bietjie moeiliker as wat ek gedink het, maar ek dink ek't die perfekte ene gekry!

Quote: In a full heart there is room for everything... In an empty heart there is room for nothing. - Antonio Porchia

Checklist: Big Ben, Big Tom, Big heart

~ A photo of my dad (Tom) with "Big Ben" in the background. This page was for Veronica's Quote Challenge at GDS, where you had to choose the photo and THEN go looking for a suitable quote! This proved a bit harder than I thought, but I found the perfect quote in the end! ~

Ek het Christy Skaggs se Fonnetta Mini Kit gebruik - nog 'n fantastiese kit vir 'n fantastiese vroumens!

~Here are the photo's of our trip to see / listen to Smokey LIVE! What a FUN evening! We literally jumped up and down, and sang ourselves hoarse. Those guys might not be pretty, but they sure can sing!
