Sparkly stars for JUGS

Hi there!

Sad to say good bye to the Just us girls team  as this is my last week as guest designer!

This week we want to see stars and sparkles for the wild card week!

I really hope to inspire you with my card!


I chose to add  sparkle using foil rather than glitter.


Hope to see you at JUGS this week!

Entering my card to a few challenges:

the sisterhood of crafters ~stars
shopping our stash ~ stars and stripes
shellys images ~ stars stripes & sparkle

Thanks for visiting me today!

So thankful...

Hi there!

Friday here in Abu Dhabi , just too hot to set foot outside! Temperatures now reaching well into the 40 degrees Celsius. (100-110deg F)
So nothing better to do on this Summer's day than to get crafty!

There's a few challenges I've been watching from the side for a while now. One of them being the case study challenge. So this is my first time joining Chupa's challenge. This month's muse is Joy Taylor.
I chose to case  the lovely lay out, the bold sentiment and the text element of the featured card.

I added two circles to my designs to enter the cas-ualfridays challenge. I just love using circles in my designs and I am sure somewhere during the week you will see more circles!

Also entering the frosted designs challenge for circles.








I made the sentiment in English and Afrikaans to share:





Thanks for visiting me today!

A birthday card

Hi there!

I need a few birthday cards in Afrikaans, as we are leaving in a week's time to visit family and friends in South-Africa.

I am so excited... it's been a year since I saw my family!

I used the sketch at freshly made sketches as starting point.
