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.

Explore, Dream, Adventure - SID december Sketch

I was busy with the new collection from Celebr8 - Set Sail, when the December SID sketch landed on my desk.

With the leftover paper from my Bulk Pack kit and the SID sketch I created this layout!

The photos are of my eldest son Corne, fishing in an international against South Africa.

He did so well during the tournament!

Some close-ups:

The bottom gauze is medical swabs sprayed with Ranger Distress Spray!

 

 

The other two layouts in my collection pack look like this:

My youngest son catching a shark!

 My daughter also got roped into the action, and her brothers insisted she must catch a shark too!

Familie - SID November Sketch

The November SIDsketch was a little out of my comfort zone.  

I preder to use paper to make up my backgrounds, but this sketch called for a little mixed media.

I originally started with a kit from Anguree Jase van Rensburg,  

but eventually changed it into a double.

My brother-in-law's father passed away just over a month ago and his mom passed a year ago.

He doesn't have many photos of his parents, so I thought I would make him something special. 

The title FAMILIE VIR ALTYD EN EWIG (Family always and forever) I just painted with smooch.

The gears were sptized with distress sprays and then embossed lightly.

 I added in some afrikaans words - herinneringe (memories) and spesiale tye (special times).

 The cotton swabs were also sprayed with distress spray stains, and then streatched behind the photos.

His mother loved to crochet, so added in this crocheted doily for her.

His dad was a hands on type of man, so I added the gears to represent him.
