Sending you a bunch of flowers
It was my friend Lynn's birthday earlier this month so I made her a birthday card with the most gorgeous cling stamp from Penny Black designed by Mo Manning. This girl was so much fun to color. ( I think I have one left on the shelf @ www.kanjekrafts.co.za) my website is still a work in progress but it is operational so there are still hiccups.
I used my Promarkers, and I think I am slowly getting the hang of using them. It's alot more difficult than I anticipated, one has to have a good grasp of using the right colors together.
Hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my latest card....I just completed a canvas over the weekend and will try to post pictures soon.
Have a wonderful week.

A work in progress
Hello everyone
It's Friday.....where did this week go....the days are flying by at an alarming rate....Easter is almost upon us. And soon the cold weather will be here. Perfect weather for crafting.
I was rumaging around some of my stash and yes there is about 10yrs worth of stash......and found some painted letters spelling the word "friends".... Found some inspiration.... And this is what I have thus far. Hoping to finish it off tomorrow.
Have a wonderful weekend

Pictures of printer as promised
Happy Thursday afternoon everyone
As promised, here are the pics of my printer and the CIS system
I dealt with the most amazingly patient and helpful gentleman called Eduard @ cartridge select in N1 city Mall in Cape Town.
Believe me he is an absolute gem and I would recommend his services to anyone any day.
My printer is an A3 one but for daily family use the A4 should suffice - I just loved the idea of being able to print bigger photos.....LOL.... just me seeing potential to generate an income by printing on canvas, CD's, etc with this baby.

Where in the world is your vagabond
Ok, so I saw on Belinda's blog that sizzix was having a competition for the vagabond. This is my baby.... I love my vagabond....it really is a timesaver and together with my favorite Tim Holtz alterations dies ( which are to die for.....they cut through anything like butter!) you have the perfect combination for creativity.
I was going to give the competition a miss cause my space is in a permanent state of "mess" but thought that all these creative ladies would understand - after all we all make mess it's part of the creative process....LOL.
Anyway, here is my baby....
Have a stampendous day

A 1st Birthday Gift for Leeya
My grand daughter was recently Invited to a 1st birthday party.
It's always a challenge to buy someone a gift if they really have everything one could possibly imagine.
Of course I am also the sentimental type and when my daughter Wisaal suggested a scrapped frame of the birthday girl we decided that would be a different and special present.
Leeya's mummy was overjoyed with her birthday present
So next time you are stuck for a prezzie....why not make something special. Of course the photos are a breeze now with our new printer and CIS system.
If you are interested in finding out about the CIS system, please feel free to email me and I will put you in touch with the local CISS agent.
Take care all

Printing in colour @ a cheaper cost
Hello everyone
I have a new color ink jet printer, now you may wonder what would be so special about an inkjet printer.....well this one prints @ a fraction of a regular inkjet. Have I got your attention now..... LOL..... It works with what is called a "continuous ink supply system" or commonly known as CISS.
I found out about CISS on a stamping group I belong to and honestly I have been searching for a printer but of course, I have pre requisites which are it has to be able to handle up to at least 300gsm card and it had to print cheaply... I have already binned a printer because the ink cartridge exceeded the cost of a new printer.
I was prepared to pay slightly more for a printer with the proviso that the cost of running the machine would be more reasonable than the average printer sold in our regular chain stores. The printers are cheap, but the manufacturer makes their monies on consumables.
Did you know that an average color knk cartridge only has about 3 to 4 teaspoons of ink and @what price? Next time you are shopping for an ink cartridge check out the ml value of ink you are getting for you money.
Anyway back on track, this printer printed 300gsm curious metal card like a dream. I was hooked!
Now the CISS comprises of an ink supply system of 6 x 100ml of ink which supplies your cartridges with ink. Refilling your cartridge only requires the touch of a button and voila! All done. The best news is that a 100ml of replacement ink only costs R100 per refill!
I invested in an Epson 1410 photo printer and believe me this machine prints photos with amazing clarity and quality and of course at a much lower cost than conventional cartridges.
I will add pics of my machine tomorrow but in the meantime....here is a scrapped pic I did with the photo printed on my new printer.
