A New Year and a New Baby!

Happy New Year to each and every one of you......

May 2013 be a year of prosperity, happiness, self fulfilment, growth and blessings.

I am not sorry to see the back of 2012. What started as a very tragic year for us when we lost precious baby Bella, God has seen fit to bless us with Blake!

Meet Blake Kingsley Waters:

Born on Friday 28 December 2012.

He is such a gorgeous boy, and been a good baby so far :)

Here are a few more pics of our angel:

If you have been playing the progressive Scrapbook Challenge this month you are nearly done! If you choose to do this as a stand alone, that is also welcome :p

ALWAYS BE MYSELF

catch up and a layout

hello blogger friends

what a fantastic November we are having. summer finally seems to have arrived and the Scrapbook Convention came to PE for the first time ever!

and as you know PE ladies rock and we had the best day last week Saturday Scrapping with Glenda and Jowilna at the Radisson.Christmas themed, we did layouts and projects and cards. Can't say too much more until the ladies in Cape Town and Johannesburg have had their turn. So watch this space to see what we did at convention!

Over at Scrapbook Challenges is this week's sketch - 323.

Here is my take on it.

 

i don't usually use big titles on my layouts, but quite like this one. thanks to my trust cricut machine for the title.

 

I used an old sheet of Kaisercraft, and cardstock. 2 sheets of paper were embossed in the cuttlebug and embossed, one with glitter powder (circles) and the other with ink.

 

 

the spritzing on the cardstock didn't quite come out too well.

 

hope you do the sketch, and post it to the gallery at scrapbook challenges.

 

 

happy scrappin' this week :)

A ladies diary layout

Good day bloggers!!

Over at Scrapbook Challenges earlier this month i did sketch 321.

Here is the sketch:

This is my layout for the Sketch Crew:

i used the gorgeous ladies diary range from Graphic 45, paper and chipboard as well as flowers and brands from their stapels range.

I distressed the papers and used the paper as journalling tags. I didn't matt my photo, but sanded it instead.

My little girl is growing up so fast, i can't believe she is 3 and a half already. Such a sweet child, i love scrapping these pretty pictures of her!

Hope you are able to capture your precious moments to and create a beautiful album to reminise over in years to come.

Happy scrappy weekend.
