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.
