Just having fun mini album

I had so much fun creating this mini album for my daughter, Anneke, although it was a challenge to find all the photos.

Anneke and her bestie did a friendship photoshoot at the end of 2018, just before her bestie left for university.  They are now separated by 1200km.

Here are a few close-up photos of the album:

Stamperia Workshop with Tzanidakis Antonis

I recently travelled to Cape Town, South Africa to attend a Stamperia workshop presented by Antonis Tzanidakis.

Wow, what an experience....we learnt so much....using so little.

Here are the projects I created:

Proejct 1 - London Clock

I changed the project slightly by using big clock hands instead of the little ones provided!

Project 2 - Fly Away Bottle

Once again I changed the project slightly.  As I am a scrapbooker by heart I wanted ot add a photo, so I remove the butterfly provided and put in a photo with a little title!

Project 3 - Fear the Deer Board

Project 4 - Journal

Some photos from the weekend

Birthday Exploding Box

One thing I hate receiving and giving is a gift voucher.  It always feels so impersonal.  

This year my sister only wanted different vouchers for her birthday, 

so I decided to do a gift voucher with a difference.

The top of the box...

Side view

 The box open...top view! 

In the middle of the box I put a plastic tub filled with gelatos, and a chocolate underneath!

I decoorated the top so that she can use the tub somewhere else! 

 A photo from the side 

Each of the side panels had a pocket to put a voucher or small gift.

Side 1 had a gift voucher!

 Side 2 had some stamps and a small paintbrush to use with her gelatos.

 Side 3 had a chocolate!

 Side 4 had another gift voucher.

She absolutely loved her little box of surprises!

Pattern paper used is from Celebr8's New Beginnings Collection.

I add some Little Birdie Flowers and AC Cardstock.
