DOING LIFE

LIVE LAUGH SING

We had a very cold weekend here in Johannesburg and the electric blankets and underfloor heating were working overtime.  Me and hubby did our last 32km long run as part of our training program for the Knysna Forest Marathon (42.2km) which is taking place on Saturday, 14 July.  16km of this training run was in freezing weather with pouring rain.  Yes, the race really takes place in Forest on a gravel road.  The nerves are starting to kick in as this will only be the second full marathon I have ever done and the previous one was 12 years ago.

Well onto some creativity again ...

I was very honoured, once again, to have been approached by Joann Burton (Sassy Raggedy) DT Co-ordinator for Tammy's Scrapin Corner  to be a once of guest designer for them a second time round.  The theme for this week's challenge is "Anything Goes" .  Nice and easy, so no excuse for not taking part.

Being on the Design Team for Digi Stamps 4 Joy, I have the privilege of creating with gorgeously designed digi images by the talented Jen.  I used Jen's Digi, Gypsy Gem, which you can get hold of here DS4J's online shop.  

Once again using my favourite step card technique, this is what I created.  The design papers are from my stash.   I have used H2O's to colour her with.  You can find the tutorial for the folded flowers that were created with scalloped square punches, here.   Hope you like.

The sentiment was a free download from Create with TLC.
