Hand made yellow paper

Good Morning

Today I would like to share a card that I made using a piece of handmade paper.  The yellow piece on the right hand side of the card, it actually covers the whole front of the card, but it is covered by the yellow card stock on the left.  The Tilda is as usual Ribbon Tilda.




I just love the bright yellow and green combination.  I must say that I am really surprised by the different looks the same stamp have if you just change the colours used to colour the image.

Have a great weekend and I hope that you will all have a wonderful time crafting.

Hugs,
Marika

New School - Grade R and RR

Good morning

This morning I just wanted to share a few photos of my 2 little Angels.  They started school yesterday, now keep in mind, they attended nursery school before, but this, this is the BIG SCHOOL.  They started at the pre-primary school yesterday.  Pieter started Grade R and Chloe started Grade RR.  They really enjoyed their day and are looking forward to this school, sorry to say that they will only be in this school for the first term as we are in the process of moving to Cape Town.  They will start the 2nd term there in a new school.

Here are a few photos of them that I took yesterday.  This is very proud mommy with Pieter and Chloe.


Just a very funny picture of the kids acting out, showing their muscles.


Pieter and Chloe, showing off their new bags.


This is Chloe, she was very adamant that she wanted a "Hello Kitty" backpack.


Pieter showing his "Spider Man" backpack.


Thank you for reading this, I will be posting a card a bit later in the morning.

Have a great day.

Hugs,
Marika

Red and Blue - Tilda Sparkles

Good morning

The weekend is over and it is the start of another week.  In 2 days time the schools will start and that means that my two little angels will be going to school, they will be going to a big school but they are only in Grade R and RR, so there is no official school uniforms and so on.  Thank you for that!

Today I would like to share another Tilda card with you. This Tilda was done in Blue and Red.  This Tilda is Tilda Sparkles and she is the other half of my 2 Magnolia stamp collection.  So you will be seeing a lot of her.


The corners of the stamped image was punched with a corner punch and I then added some flower gems.  The image was coloured with my Copics.  The paper with "Happy Birthday" on is paper that I have had in my stash for some time.


The completed Tilda Sparkles card - this card will also go into my stash that I am building up for those moments when you need a card but do not have the time to make one.


Thank you for listening to the ramblings of a mother who would love to have more time to do crafting, but who actually loves her job as wife and mother.

Have a great day.

Hugs,
Marika
