Clock....

The clock I made for the scrapbooking university over at 2 Angles scrapping. Not something I would normally do, but loved this!!

Took me forever to get an idea.

Today we went to watch "He's just not that into you". Loved it.. except that the movie contradicts itself in the end.. but then movies have to end happy...

Inspiration where are you??

I feel like my scrapbook mojo has taken itself and went on holiday...

Hope it comes back soon.

Till then, not much to say...

Scrapbook giveaways

In today's hard economic times, if someone starts a new business venture, I take my hat off to them... Marks Paper company did just that. They have some really nice papers which you can see here. I particularly like the green and red papers.

Just as exciting is the first range of papers that has been designed by Webster Pages. Currently you can win the entire range of papers. This is a really exciting range of papers and I can just think of all the beautiful LOs that can be made with them... can you hear me drooling over these papers??

Till later..

Rak Arrived... Jippyyyy

 (Jippy is a South African expression for happiness...)

I received the RAK from Amy.  Love the papers, but the thing that makes me go "ahhh" is the hand written note. Thanks Amy!!.

Absolutely love all the papers and goodies... The yellow page with the bird on it is my fav!! Can't wait to start scrapping with these..

Bye for now.
