Scrap Africa
I saw a post by Jeaunes Viljoen on Enmarc Crafts' FB Page with a banner of Scrap Africa
Curiosity got the better part of me and I hopped over to Jeaunes' Blog to see what it is all about
How it works
Hello everyone!
We are very excited to welcome you on our challenge blog Scrap Africa!
Why did we start this blog? Simply because we want to showcase and celebrate the creative talent that we have in our beautiful land. At the same time we want to share it with the rest of the world and be inspired by others. While our main focus is on scrapbooking in Southern Africa we hope that our challenges will attract scrappers from different parts of the world.
This is how it works.
Every 2 weeks on Thursdays we publish a new challenge for you. You have 3 weeks to complete it. We alternate sketch challenges for lay-outs with theme challenges. For our theme challenges you can create any kind of scrap object - it can be a lay-out, a card or an altered object as long as you follow the requirements of the challenge.
You can combine our challenges with challenges from other blogs.
Only make sure that you do not combine similar challenges together. You also cannot take part in two challenges on our blog with the same project (our challenges will overlap and therefore you cannot for example make a lay-out using our sketch and enter it and then enter same lay-out into the theme challenge on Scrap Africa).
Our design team will choose the best entries that we will feature on Scrap Africa blog. We will also choose someone to be our guest designer for one of the challenges.
After every two challenges (a sketch and a theme challenge) we will randomly draw a winner among the participants who will receive a prize from our sponsors.
We hope that we will have a lot of scrappy fun together under African sun!

My Last LO for 2011!
1 Week into the New Year already! Happy New Year everybody! Hope you all had a wonderful time over the Festive Season :-)
This was my last LO for 2012! I participated in a challenge over at Enmarc Crafts' Social Network. We could use any Let's Scrap sketch from November 2011 and I chose sketch no 11-2-11
I flipped and mirrored the sketch and this is what I came up with:

My DGD1 did not know she was coming to visit me. She went with her Daddy to the airport to see her Mommy off and only when the greeting moment arrived, my DD showed her her own plane ticket!! Oh my word! The little girl was ecstatic with joy!! First her heart was broken as she so much wanted to come along for the visit and she thought it was only her Mommy that was going away and then the HUGE SURPRISE!
Here are a few close-ups
I filled the camera lens with Stickles and then added Dimensional Glaze
I used Liquid Pearls (Pink) for the pink dots on random flowers
TYFL :-)

Will I EVER Catch up on this Blog ???
So 2011 is running out and I haven't been around much :-(
Many things happened since I have been here. . . only real life priorities and no blogging time for me :-(
Some time ago, we had a COLOUR CHALLENGE over at Enmarc's Social Network. The challenge was called by Mariaan, one of the DT members.
Inspired by COLOUR! Create a double or single page layout using YELLOW (Different shades of Yellow allowed) as your main colour. You may add ONE other colour of your choice, but Yellow must be the main colour on your layout.
Remember to use at least ONE Enmarc product on your layout.
I also loved the challenge over at Let's Scrap and decided to combine the 2 challenges
Month Long Julie Bonner Sketch!!!
