Hi All I recently had an article published in our local Scrap Affairs magazine.... however... a single page for the article was just not enough for detailed notes... so I've decided to provide those who are keen to replicate this project with detailed notes and photos to help you along.... Its a picture heavy post so please be warned... I tend to ramble... LOL here we go: this is a picture

Hello Everyone!! Cape Town in heading towards Spring... flowers are starting to bloom and the sky is once again blue.... we didn't have nearly enough rain, so hopefully there will still be more to come... but in the meantime... its a glorious day here... I know I've been AWOL for a while.... but it't not due to lack of projects, in fact I've been fairly busy... our internet has been awful..

Hello there fellow crafters... An old friend of mine recently opened a coffee shop .... and I was initially going to buy her flowers and make a card... then it was a plant... and finally I decided to create something for her to hang on the wall... we have known each other for a very long time... and she has always supported my shop... so I really, really wanted to do something special for her.

hello all just a quick one today... I recently made this card using free digital downloads from the internet for both the image and the background paper... sorry.. I downloaded it but can't remember where they came from.. so best bet is just to google free Asian/Oriental digital images and printables... its sure to come up. I coloured the image with a mixture of Spectrum Noir and ProMarkers

Hello fellow crafters... I know, its been ages since I blogged, but its been busy as usual on my side... I am busy finishing off a wedding album for a client.... and have subscribed to an Oriental card challenge.. so this has been keeping me on my crafting toes so to speak... the Oriental challenge hasn't been easy... I haven't really made many Oriental cards before... and have limited supplies

Hi everyoneI've been wanting to try my hand at an Arabic canvas for a while now. Making my brother a gift seemed like the ideal time to take the plunge...I started out by painting the canvas with white gesso and then added some texture paste randomly on the canvas...unfortunately it was a process of many layers...cause I was experimenting  until I had the texture and 'look' I wanted so I
