I had to do it like this cos setcom only accepts payments from $10 and upwards.
I am working on the paypal thing, but until then I will use this option. I think they are good deals anyway!

I had made some of these kits a while ago, some even before I went overseas, but I just did not get around to finishing them off. But now they are all complete and ready for scrapping!

Download QP here.

The sun is out!!!

Believe me, after a week of not seeing the sun I couldn't be happier!!
It's been a week or rain and freezing temp's and a sick hubby at home since Monday.
I had to get out the house today, took the kids to an indoor play center and then took them out for lunch, was great to get out and about.

Last night i scrapped some more..being getting back into it lately and trying to use all the kits I have downloaded or bought before I buy more! (easier said than done since I have SOOO many favorite designers who seem to design a kit a day!) I don't know how they do it!




Will be back tomorrow with another little freebie for you and some more Layouts of a fabulous new kit KimB and her sis are releasing!! Be sure to check back!

photo mask for you

Oh boy oh boy!! I went to gym yesterday after a two month absence....I am so SORE....it feels like I was steamed rolled, stuck in a washing machine, put on spin and then pummeled around by a football team! anyway...so needless to say I haven't been doing much today that required too much moving around!

I have been playing around with photo masks and made this one...you can have it if you want it...

Here is a Layout I did using it.

(about 3.8 MB)

I have figured out a way, a legal way (LOL) of doing the whole selling thing, so just busy setting it up and will have it sorted out hopefully by the end of the month.

And this layout I did today.
tell next time!

SIGH

I am so frustrated I could cry!
Turns out that Setcom has a $10 payment minimum on their system. I was sure I had done my homework on this....so here goes looking into other options.
Sorry about this, I got emails from some of you saying that you had tried to purchase but setcom declined you....I am so sorry, I was sure I had it all figured out. Life is not that simple hey?

But don't worry!!! I will figure something out and I will eventually find a way around this.
The competition to win one of the kits for free still stands, so go ahead and leave a comment in the right post below and enjoy the add-ons for now.

This pretty pink spider is in our garden...fascinating, I have never seen a pink spider before!On the weekend we went to Simons Town, a town along our coast and we found this gorgeous shop. It is called "The Meeting place" and is actually a decor shop, deli and restaurant all rolled into one. The restaurant is upstairs.

They have gorgeous decor there.

Upstairs was this beautiful restaurant. When we first got there, we were the only ones there! We sat in front of the fire and had our meal. Click on the photos to view them larger..this place is spectacular, we will definitely be going back!

Paris! {and freebie!}

I am finally getting around to showing off my Paris photos!
It was so surreal being there, for months before, I would look at postcards or browse through flickr and look at photos of Paris and wonder if it was really as wonderful as it seemed and looked. I even had dreams about being in Paris...for a while I thought I wasn't going to go...nearly didn't get my schengan visa in time...but I made it!
I went with two of my best friends-we took a few trains at 5 in the morning to get to London St.Pancras station to be there by the time our Eurostar left, which was at 8:30 I think. We almost didn't make it in time!!! I have never run to hard or fast in my life from one train to another!!
Talk about Panic!! I was with the friend I was staying with and the friend I stayed with the first week I got there, was meeting us there, so she had gone through to board already and was panicking because we hadn't arrived and was sending us frantic text messages to "run dammit, run!!! beg them to let you on!!! " ha ha. it was so funny.

We made it and sat down in a jumbled heap of nerves!! We had some guy sitting opposite us that fell asleep and proceeded to droll the whole way there and snore....lovely!

Anyway my day in Paris was wonderful..too short but fantastic. It IS like the photos, it is like everyone says it is!! It is romantic and charming and full of a special kind of feeling which I still can't put my figure on. The Parisians definitely have a different way of life than for instance we do here in SA. The traffic seems insane...I even saw a women driving with her top of her car down and she was DRIVING and READING a magazine at the same time!! no lies!! I have a photo to prove it!!

The french men (generalization here!) were very friendly and we got many whistles and smiles whilst we sat in the top part of the bus looking down on the city! ha ha. Stopping at traffic lights were more opportunities and this one was funny....this guy was waving frantically at us and blowing kisses so i got out my camera and made a gesture (since I cannot speak French) as in "do you mind" and he smiled and shrugged and posed for this photo!! haha. he looks like that guy from "French kiss"!! *not my cup of tea by the way* (and I am happily married-ha ha!!)
The food there is really good, we had some puddings and bagels, crepes, etc....expensive but tasty. I just love the way they give so much attention to detail with their cake and tart decoration.What I love about Paris is the architecture and attention to detail -even the scrolls and iron balustrades...so much detail and pretty handiwork. I love the flower boxes-a splash of color here and there.



The Arc de Trioumph is amazing too. The detail and intricate designs awed me! I stood for ages underneath gazing up!!

The Eiffel tower is amazing. I couldn't believe the size when I was standing right under it. The color also amazed me, as in photos it looks like a silver color, but up close it is like a brown/bronze color. Very pretty. I took so many photos, just can't show them all!



i
This one is one of my favorites, I took it through the water fountation, in black and white-otherwise no touching up afterwards, and it came out looking like an old postcard!!


This guy came up to me and said "Sawbona, bafana bafana" ha ha!! "Sawbona" is zulu for "hello" and he mentioned a soccer team here-bafana bafana, do I look south africa or something? ha ha.
Anyway typically, he tried to con me by saying I could get 3 eiffel tower key rings for 1 euro and then proceeded to give me 6 key rings and ask for 2 euro! so I said "no, I only wanted the 3 for 1 euro dude" and he was not impressed...ha ha...my friend took this one of me "haggling" ha ha.
And of course we took up a walk up the montmarte steps (what a killer!!) and walked around a bit up top, I bought a beautiful painting! I just love these photos I took there, definately needed more time!!



Fantastic and unforgettable experience!!

I played around and made you all a freebie...4 papers in memory of my trip to Paris!!
