My son left yesterday to go and work/study in the UK, so I made him a little canvas to put on his desk, I used a 10 x 10 cm canvass for this project and there,s not really too much you can do on such a small amount of space especially when you want to include a photo and a message.

I painted the canvass with a brown fabric paint as I like the 'washed' effect the fabric paint gives. Then I made a small coin envelope from some book paper and printed a message onto craft cardstock chalked all the edges of course then glued it to the canvass. Next I cut a strip of Bo bunnys printed paper that has rulers on it and a strip of paper that looks like weathered wood (keiser craft paper), I stamped the negatives onto a transparency and cut it out. Then just glued everything down added a few embellishments and that was it, took me a little while to do it as I kept having to stop for a cry every few minutes - lol!

Baby girl front page

I recently completed a baby albumn for someone and this was the front page for the albumn, I love how this page turned out and it was so much fun putting it together.

I used a variety of products on this page, The Love bingo card is from the simple stories lullabye range, I also used some Prima papers (cant recall the range but there were fairies on the paper)

For the embellishments I used some prima flowers and a prima zip that says love on it. I made the frames myself with the martha stewart silicone moulds and her foam clay then just painted them with a pearl paint, also added lots of pearls(one of my staples on most girly layouts) and that was it.

A little about me

My name is Jeanine, I live in South Africa. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 20 years and we have 2 beautiful children (well I think they are beautiful anyway). I love all most any type of crafting but scrapbooking is my passion.
I will be posting scrapbook layouts as well as other projects I have been working on.
I am not the most computer literate person in the world but I will try to keep updated with pics and tutorials on what I am up to. Hope you enjoy it
