Meet the team- Denise


Hello to all our dear scrappy friends!
As we already mentioned, we have a new addition to our team.
Today we want to introduce you to Denise van Deventer
We believe that you will fall in love with her projects.
Please give a very warm welcome to this wonderful lady!



************

I am a devoted mother, giving wife and happy creator!  I am a very happy scrapper and love creating layouts, as well as cards and altered projects. I am not sure that I have a particular style, probably somewhere between classic and shabby.   I love chipboards and embelishments, and I am always keen to try new things and once I have an idea, I really have to run with it, and must get to it as soon as I possibly can!
I give classes at two local Scrapbook stores and love sharing my ideas and creativity with others.

Many things inspire me and my son is definitely one of those things.  I also love colour and layering, but sometimes clean and simple does the trick. I love photography and really enjoy taking good photo’s that can later be scrapped.  I truly believe that great photo’s make for great projects.

I work in the IT department at South African Airways and this really keep me busy.  I work with a really great bunch of people and I really enjoy what I do. So I am blessed to have a great job as well as my passion for paper crafting!

My blog address is www.strawbspatch.blogspot.com and I would really appreciate it, if you would visit and say hello.

It is such an honour for me to be on the DT at Scrap Africa and I look forward to being a part, of a very talented group of ladies.

Here are a few of Denise's  layouts for you to enjoy :-)





Don't forget that you still have time to play in our challenge About a boy


Tmorrow we will be back with results of our previous sketch.

Our special Guest Designer  - Georgia

Hi, I'm Georgia, 36 and I live in beautiful Tasmania, Australia. I discovered scrapbooking in March 2011 while searching for wedding album ideas and have been completely obsessed ever since. I am not sure how to define my style, maybe eclectic grunge? My favorite products to use are paints, ink and stamps and my pages tend to be quite layered and messy. I am currently designing for Once Upon A Sketch & Bird Is The Word Challenge blogs as well as running my own Scrapbook Kit Club & Store,



www.paperstories.com.au. Thank you so much to the Scrap Africa girls for asking me to be guest designer this month, I love playing along with these challenges!

Challenge # 7 - About a boy

Hello dear all! Today with a bit of a delay (sorry for that) we are ready to reveal our new challenge! Hope you will find time to join us, its a nice and quite an easy one:)

Challenge # 7 is dedicated to the wonderful men in our lives - big or small.
Make any scrap object dedicated to a man or a boy. 
The catch is that it must have a phrase on it: it can be your own words or a quote but it must tell what is so special about that person to whom you dedicate your project.

beautiful province of  New Brunswick where I work as a part time nurse. I am
the proud mom of two boys (with hubby Joel) ,Gabriel is almost 10 and  Felix
is 7 1/2. My favorite time of the day is when I can escape to my "girl cave"

and I current design for Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker.

they both mean the world to me and I feel so blessed to have them in my
life, so I've prepared two layouts to share with you today.

so very funny .To me , he really is "Simply Amazing ".

awesome" !!!! (Gosh, I hope he never does that ;) )  I used sentiments on
this layout that suits his personality.He is 100 % boy and 
 there is NEVER a dull moment with
