Introducing my Shop Blog

Hi, All my Friends and Followers

I am sorry for taking so long to return, but have certainly been very busy.
I have taken on a new venture since I left you all to go have my wonderful darling daughter.

Yes, and it has been 6 months with a lot of changes...lol

I have recently acquired a Laser cutter and have decided to go full steam ahead in Opening and Online Business.
The website is still a working progress, but for now I have opened a Shop Blog to run in the meantime and will continue to do so along my Website once up and running.

So in the Meantime please visit my Shop blog, and Orders and  Commissions is Welcome via Email.

I will also be sponsoring a few of our very Favourite Challenge Blogs.

I also will be adding a Candy Giveaway in the next couple of days for the Launch date of My Shop Blog.
So please be so kind and Spread the word.

So here's the Link....

Hope to see you all there...

Just Popping in....

Hi, Everyone

Just thought I will quickly pop by and let you know that I am planning to get back to my blog in the next couple of weeks, and try to get back into the swing of things, but in the mean time I just want to say Thank You to my Loyal Followers for hanging in there....

Introducing my New beautiful daughter...

Good Afternoon Blogging Friends,

Well, sorry for being absent so long, but I had a really busy month behind me...lol

I would like to introduce the Newest addition to our family....

Jané Fouché

Born 08 May 2012

Weight 3.3 kg

So I am hoping to settle into a routine shortly so that I can return to crafting...lol

I had a lovely month away and my sister was visiting from Botswana for more than 3 weeks, hence the reason for me not having time to get round to all my lovely crafting pals...

Hope to be back soon with a lovely creation, that is if I can get the creative juice to flow again...lol

Birthday Card for a Special Girl....

Good Evening Everyone,

Well, Yes I also thought the next time I post something it will be a picture of the long awaited addition to the family, but unfortunately for me I am still waiting and the patience is running out slowly...

Hopefully soon....

So instead I have a card to show you all I made today, as I need a birthday card for next week, so I thought I might as well make one seeing I can't do much else at the minute.

My Card

My Card Recipe:

For my card I used the very pretty girl from Saturated Canary, I've had her for a while now, but this is the first card I have made using one of these lovely images from Krista Smith.

I coloured my image using a combination of my Promarkers and some water colour pencils.

The Circles was cut out of some Dovecraft paper which I stamped with a scripture stamp and then added some scribbles with a black pen. I am not normally this adventurous but I just went for it...lol

I just sticked them on white card which I then matted on some black and lastly mounted on my main card which is from Kraft card.

I then added the hessian and ribbon bow.

I then added my image using some silicone glue to give it a bit of an 3D effect.

Lastly I added the Pearls, Pins and the Happy Birthday Sentiment.

My Image close up:

I hope you all like it....

Late Post for C.R.A.F.T

Morning All,

How are you all doing? I've been okay all though I have been experiencing a lot of pain the last view days, so I just had to take it a bit easy, so I haven't manage any crafting in the last few days and been bad on the blogging front as well....

But I have a card to share with you today which I made for my GDT position over at C.R.A.F.T...
Yes, I know the post is a bit late too...I am such a bad blogger.....

Anyway here it goes....
