Hyenas and Buffalo

Dear Bloggers,
Hyena pups are the type of baby that only a mother can  love and as you can see she does.  But maybe then they are just so ugly they really are cute !!!!

This buffalo rolls in the mud and look at the swarm of insects that fly off him.  No wonder he enjoys a good roll.

Thanks for looking at my photos.

Back from Africa

Dear Bloggers,

Sorry that I have been MIA from my blog but I have been very lucky to have spent the last month holidaying in Africa (South Africa, Namibia and Botswana).  My husband and I had the most amazing time.  I have not touched any paper crafting supplies for all this time and although I am having serious withdrawals I think crafting time is still at least a few days away as there is always so much to do when you return from holidays.  At the very least I have 6000 photos to sort through and edit!!!   In the interim I will post some photos so my poor little blog still feels loved.

Dear Bloggers,

I was lucky enough to have this double LO published in the most recent edition of Scrapbooking Memories in the 'Fashion Gallery'.  So here is my gorgeous daughter fashionably dressed at her 18th birthday party.

Making Wedding Stationery

Dear Bloggers,

I have been designing some wedding stationery.  The bride wanted a soft lavender and white colour scheme with butterflies and the Eiffel Tower as important motifs.  The stationery is subtle and very beautiful in real life but I fear it may look a little washed out in these photos. Please single click on one of the photos and they will appear filling the screen with a black background.  This is a much nicer way to view them than clashing with the green and red on the sides of my blog page.

Here is all the stationery I made whilst experimenting and playing around.

I have grouped the items below into sets that I felt related to each other

Kimba my gorgeous cat was a real asset to my photographic session.  NOT...but I love him to death all the same.

Up close and personal to some of the invitations.

Some of the place cards - I experimented with different fonts.

Wishing well cards

Thank you cards
