Today is the 1st May and (Inter) National Scrapbook Month and once again Let's Scrap is bringing us loads of Challenges and most of all FUN! I hope you all remembered to get your Bingo words in by 25th April because last year we had lots of excitement and friendly competition. This year is going to be a challenge for me as I leave for the UK on 21 May, so am hoping I can pick up WiFi everyday to get my words or better yet shout BINGO before I even leave :).
I have been a terrible blogger - just been so busy designing pages, finishing a scrapbook album for my friend and getting it delivered and now finishing an album for my mom which has to go to the UK with me. Anyway no excuses I should be loading pictures of what I've been up to and will try and do this later today.
If you're not already a member of Let's Scrap I suggest you get on down there and join in the FUN!!!
See you around......

3rd Scrapbook Day
Can you believe that we are already planning our 3rd scrapbooking event. The last two have been such a success that the ladies have been asking when our next day is going to be.
This time we will create two double layouts!! It is going to be an action packed day. So don’t be shy and get a group of friends together and join us for a day filled with scrapbooking, friends, food and loads of fun ….
You will create another double layout that has been specifically designed by Michelle van Wyk for this event. Using the stunning SCRAP COLLECTIONS range of papers, this layout is perfect for all those special photos that capture love in our hearts!!! This kit will include loads and loads of goodies to create this stunning layout!!!
I REMEMBER WHEN……
This is the second layout for the day and is a travel page. The papers used are from the new range of travel papers from SCRAP COLLECTIONS. This page is perfect if you have loads of photos as you will be creating a “hard covered” book with lots of flaps on the inside.

The month of February
A lot has happened over the last month. My mom emigrated to the UK which was quite emotional. To help with all the stress in my life, I decided to scrap. Scrapbook 'n Things had a special for the month of February where you paid R300 and you could attend as many classes as you wanted. I definitely made the most of this offer. I completed at least 2 double pages a week. My aim was to complete one of the albums that my mom had asked me to do of my step-father and just chill. I was doing someone else's pages, so I didn't have to think either it was absolute bliss.
Then we had the Leap around the World blog hop which was also fun, although time consuming. I am still trying to figure out if it was the blog hop that made me use my 10gig allowance of broadband :). If you don't tell my family, I certainly wont.
Lara from Scrapbook 'n Things also has a monthly challenge where you buy a kit at less 20% and you must use everything in the kit and come up with a unique design. The customers that come into the shop then get to vote and the winner gets a American Cardstock pack + a gift voucher to shop in the store. Not bad actually.
This is one of the pages I designed using the Scrap Collections range of papers and a Let's Scrap sketch.
I also arranged a scrapbook fundraiser which was held on 18 February 2012 and thanks to Michelle van Wyk for helping me with the double page layout called Seek, I designed another single page of all the precious children at Tsholofelo Baby Sanctuary where I volunteer called Love Blooms Here.
My mission for the month of March is to finish all my unfinished pages and their are loads of them. I battle putting on titles and doing journalling. As I finish, I will take photo's and load them for all to see.
Happy Scrapping
