IN MEMORY OF ...
Coen Fourie 1934.10.07 - 2012.07.07 RIP
My FIL passed away last night.
"There is no sadness or pain on earth that cant be healed by heaven." - Thomas More
Special memories of a loving Father, Grandfather and Spouse will ease the pain in our hearts.
"Daar is geen hartseer op aarde wat die hemel nie kan heel nie." - Thomas More
Spesiale herinnering van 'n besonderse liefdevolle Pa, Oupa en Eggenoot sal die pyn in ons harte stil.

TRAVELLING TRACY
{Digistamps 4 Joy Sunday New Releases}
{DT Project for DS4J}
The artists at Digistamps 4 Joy have been busy creating a lovely mixed bag of images again, and you can see the line-up HERE on the blog.
The Design Team members each received a new release image to do a creation with. I was so pleased receiving Travelling Tracy and I sent her off to Paris for some 'me time'.
The Paris backdrop was a free digi download from Free Vintage Digital Stamps. Just right click on the image and save it to your computer. I also would love to see what you create with it, if you choose to use it.
The sentiment, was download from a friend's wall on Facebook.
Check out the store HERE to see the rest of the images and the blog to see fabulous DT samples with some of the other new releases.
