since we celebrated the day of love yesterday, the challenge over at scrap Africa continues with a heart challenge by the lovely Lynette! i made a quick card with a heart accent punched from a docrafts sheet. I matted the heart onto silver glitter paper by AC and added some sewing around the edges. A few buttons, petaloo flowers, beads and ink finishes off the card.

i love the new glitter edges on these Petaloo flowers

glitter buttons, beads sewn on with silver thread and some dimensional glaze dots added for fun

sewing adds so much dimension and texture - love it!

so next week i am heading to the Eastern Cape for a week long scrapping and soul restoration retreat. it's going to be an amazing week of creativity, beautiful ocean views, and building relationships with good friends, creative friends and spending some good quality and reconnecting time with God! Looking forward to seeing the ocean - water has such healing powers and i need some TLC from water now - washing away the old stuff and the dust from my soul! so hang around for a while i will be back - we will have no internet connection as we are very isolated - but there will be lots of creative projects to share once i get back! thanks for stopping by!
