DOING LIFE

CHASE YOUR DREAMS ...
{DT Project Tammy's Scrapin Corner: Challenge #55}

This week our theme for Challenge #55 at Tammy's Scrapin Corner  is ANYTHING GOES, BUT A CARD.  I used the Chase Your Dreams sentiment from Bugaboo.  You can purchase the image here.   

This was quite a challenge for me as I don't do off the page/card projects.  But hey, nothing ventured nothing gained.  I recycled an old tea box, Five Roses Tea is a well-known tea brand here in South Africa.  I have been collecting the empty tea boxes for more than a year now, having in mind to alter them as gifts in which one could put some yummy stuff.  I have cropped a butterfly from the main image, blown it up a bit and printed it out a few times.  I coloured the butterflies with Copic Markers.  The design paper is from Basic Grey.  The flat pearls are from Blueberry Bear.

Hope you will play along this week - so come on link your Anything but a Card creations to Tammy's Scrapin Corner's Challenge No.55. Can't wait to see what you create.

Here's a few pics of my {Doing Life's} recent two Scrap Days here at my home studio.  Its always great to have the ladies over for some scrapping therapy.  Below are also the two layouts I designed and presented.

We here in South Africa are experiencing a problem with our local Internet Service Provider since Thursday last week.  Here's news on the situation from MWEB themselves:

Dear MWEB Customer

The Seacom cable, which provides a significant portion of our international capacity, has been damaged off the coast of Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea. Early indications are that it may take up to two weeks to repair the break and restore full capacity. We also have capacity on the WACS cable, which runs up the west coast of Africa, and this is currently able to meet about 45% of our total needs. As a result, most international services will be degraded. We are in ongoing discussions with various operators to secure additional capacity to meet our total requirements until such time as the Seacom cable is fully operational again.

We will keep you updated of any changes to this situation via e-mail, our Facebook page and twitter. Kind regards
The MWEB Team

Thus our internet is super slow and its hard to leave comments.  So please will my lovely Followers who leave such wonderful comments here, be patient with me not being able to leave comments at the moment.  As soon as things are back to normal, "I'll be back" - in the words of Arni lol.
