Christmas Tins

I did this in the Saturday Feel Good Scrap Day. These decorated tins are so versatile:
- you can hang them on your christmas tree,
- put them under your christmas tree as decorations,
- give them as gifts,
- use them as gift containers/ wrapping
- use them as table place settings and add some after-dinner mints for guests.

Can you think of some more uses? Let me know. Thanks for looking!

Soul Sisters

I have just received an e-mail notification saying that I (together with a lot of other ladies) have won a gift from Souls Sisters (http://www.soulsisters.co.za/eng/aboutus.html)! I am speechless (OK, mabe not speechless, but totally in shock). I can't say I never win anything, but it is really on the rare occasions in my life where I have won something, and now this delicious early Christmas gift from Soul Sisters:

Soul Sisters Craft Club bag, Lily K scrapbook product, 20% Get Scrapping! discount  voucher and a copy of Paint on Paper/ Verf op Papier

If I was living in the "Boland" of South Africa I would have been a lifelong member. The best I can do is tell everyone about the wonderful craft sisterhood Soul Sisters create and entice my mom (whose living in Cape Town) to join you.

Thank you Monean!

Feel Good Scrap day

This fabulous LO was presented at a full day scrap event in town on Saturday hosted by Bendito's Crafts.




I did not take any photos with me on the day as I had no clue as to the look or colour scheme of the LO. The pre-class notes mentioned that sepia or B&W photos would work best. After searching my photo archives, I came upon these colour pics taken in 2005 (and never been scrapped before). A perfect match for the papers (I think). The kit included a bonus LO, but I want to see if I can't stretch it to make another double LO with some more pics from this 3 week trip.
