IT's THE LITTLE THINGS ...

{DT Project Lady Anne's Paper Crafts: Challenge #7 - Friday Sentiments}

Trust you all had a fabulous first month of 2013 and that you are still sticking to your new resolutions, that is if you made some.  I always take the easy route out, not making any resolutions, so there's no chance if failing, lol.

Our theme for the next fortnight Challenge over at Lady Anne's Paper Crafts' Monthly Friday Sentiments Challenge is Anything Goes (but always have a sentiment).  How much easier can you get.  So I really hope you will play along.

The in love couple is from from GUYLOU INIMITABILITY and you can purchase them here.    I have coloured them with H2O's and paper pieced their T-shirts with design paper.  Another centre step card design and put my favourite crafting tools i.e. punches to work to create the heart embellies. The sentiment is a freebie from TLC CREATIONS - Paulette.  The design papers are from BasicGrey.

Looking forward to seeing you play along over at Lady Anne's Friday Sentiment Challenge #7.  The Challenge ends on 21 February 2013. If the challenge isn't live yet, please be patient as our DT Leader is a bit under the weather.  Hope you feel better soon Berni.


 
I would love to enter the following challenges with this:


My friend Lynette, a fellow South African and very talented scrapper, shared her standing in life at this moment on her blog and I thought it would be special to also share where I am standing in life at this point in time, so here goes:

Swooning over:  A new tent card design I have spotted on Joann's blog - she has been so kind as to share her wonderful tutotural.
Planning: Prepping for {Doing Life's} stand at Hobby-X 2013, 7-10 March at the Coca Cola Dome.
Eating lots of : Salads as it is the middle of summer here in South Africa.
Discovering: That people may disappoint you from time to time, just making sure I am not the one to disappoint others.
Looking at: My hair and have to make an appointment to get rid of all this grey.
Wearing: Beige smart pants with red top and high heels.
Cooking: Have been making a salad and pineapple fridge tart for my full day of card and scrapbooking classes I am teaching today.
Wondering: What is install for me and hubby in 2013 - as we will be making tough decisions and are in for huge changes.
Trying out: New paper folding techniques - not surprising hey!

So. Share your current stuff please, either in the comments...or let me know if you are going to be doing a post.  I would love to read it.
