Rainy day means winter in South Africa

Hello,
yes, we have winter in South Africa and that means rain, but since 2 months the temperatures were over 20 degrees. I really like such definition of winter =0)
For today I made a LO with the title "Rainy day", when Jakob discovered how much fun he can have running through puddles:

 

I will enter the LO for two challenges: The Play Date Cafe #94 and Sketchy Thursdays 11.8:

See you soon, hopefully!

Organizing scraps - Tuesday Trigger: Luminous Layers

Hello,
the picture from Moxie Fab World for the Tuesday Trigger Challenge motivated me to organize my scraps. Usually I prefer to scrap than organize my crafty corner, but the situation was a kind of out of control ;) I was surprise how much fun I had! You can read below, how I played with all my scraps, but at first I show you a card based on the picture from Tuesday Trigger:

And the inspiring picture from Moxie Fab World: a dress with luminous layers-a beautie!

And this picture below shows, what I did with all the scraps: now I have very interesting designer paper and in the next post I will show you cards made using the patchwork method.

Have a great weekend,

The Waltzingmouse goes on Safari!

Hello from Cape Town,

I unpack my new stamps with the theme Safari, which I bought before we left Canada! I love them! The sketch from Waltzingmouse challenge #59 was perfect to used them. Please take a look at two cards I made: I couldn't decide which one I will upload for the challenge. I think, the giraffe is so cute, that she will be entered in the contest. But you can tell, which one you prefer: giraffe or elephant!

What a great sketch, heh? I'm sure, I will use it again and again.

See you next time with the Tuesday Trigger!

Your kANNAdyjka

My girl-Lisa in the TCR Palette #70

Hello bloggers,

the time came to fall in love with pink! Since I have a daughter (6 weeks!) I will scrap more in this color. Before I didn't realize how much fun it is to play with pink! I started carefully: the last palette of The Color Room #70 made it easy for me: pink PLUS green (my fave) and peachy shade of orange (another fave) and white. I used the lovely Design Papers from G45 with fairies theme, which I got from my dear friend Wendy!
Please take a look at my fairy Lisa Marie!


 

 

I hope, You enjoyed this LO,

Back in "business"!

Hello my faithful readers!

It's official: I'm back in my studio, this time in South Africa! To get here was a bumpy adventure with all the visa issues, waiting for the arrival of the container (with my studio!) and then the bad surprise: container filled with ocean water (3 feet) and all the damage...Now the fight with the insurance started....You won't believe it, only one of my several boxes with my goodies was damaged. A kind of miracle!

Last week I was setting up my crafty corner and last night, when my both children were sleeping, I was creating after 4 months break-what a delight! I used the sketch of Card Patterns #126.

 I started simple, with a set of my new stamps from MME and my new border punch from my dear stamping friend Wendy! Yummy! I hope, you like the card!

See you next time with a scrapbook page with my new daughter Lisa and The Color Room Palette!

Cheers, kANNAdyjka from Cape Town

A sweet addition to our family!

Hallo bloggers,

I would like to let you know about our sweet addition to our family: Lisa Marie! She was born on June 22 at 10:29am as a 51cm long and 3,4kg healthy baby. Very soon I will go crazy scrapping her pictures in peachy pink and other nice shades suitable for a sweet girl.

For now please enjoy the picture of our both children!

Welcome South Africa!

Hello my faithful bloggers,

Sorry, I let you wait for this post that long. I apologize for my silence, but you must understand that a moving from one continent to another is kind of tricky, particularly when one is struggling with the visa issues. But it is so far: we finally landed in Cape Town, South Africa!

The first week was extremely busy, but we are settling in slowly. My hubby started his job, our son is at the day care the 1st day and I am preparing for the birth of our Baby #2 (end of June) and organizing our live in the new home.

Because my studio is on the way to South Africa on a ship, I will have to take a break from scrapbooking and card making for another 2 months (how will I manage the time without my stamps, inks and papers???) I have already itchy fingers, but watching other crafty bloggers helps a little bit!

For now I show you only a beautiful picture of the painted face I found on the internet. Until then I say: See you soon!!!

Your kANNAdyjka in South Africa;)

Witajcie moi wierni obserwatorzy!

Przykro mi, ze musieliscie czekac tak dlugo na ten post, ale musicie zrozumiec, ze przeprowadzka z kontynentu na kontynent moze byc problematyczna, np. w kwestii wizy. No ale wszystko sie udalo i w koncu wyladowalismy w Kapsztadzie!

Nasz pierwszy tydzien byl bardzo przebojowy, ale powoli sie aklimatyzujemy. Moj "malz" zaczal prace, synus poszedl do przedszkola, a ja w koncu moge sie przygotowac do narodzin naszej coreczki (pod koniec czerwca) i organizuje nasze codzienne zycie w nowej Ojczyznie.

Poniewaz moje studio jest w drodze do RPA na statku, musze wytrzymac 2 miesiace bez mojego ukochanego hobby (czytaj: obsesji). Jeszcze nie wiem, jak wytrzymam ten czas bez moich stempelkow, atramentow i papierkow???? Juz mnie palce  swedza, ale ogladanie innych blogow moich scrapujacych przyjaciol troche pomaga!


Na teraz jedynie co moge Wam zaoferowac piekne zdjecie pomalowanej twarzy z flaga RPA, ktore znalazlam w Internecie. Na razie mowie Wam: do zobaczenia wkrotce!!!

Wasza kANNAdyjka w RPA;)
