Hello, dear friends!
At last I managed to make a project just for fun of doing it!
When this collection by South African manufacturer Celebr8 came out, I knew immediately which photograph I will scrap with it! :-)))) don't you agree that the photo and the paper were meant for each other?

Hello everyone!
It've been more than a month since my last blog post.
Time flew so fast but on the other hand so many things happened that I can't believe that all of that could fit into such a short period of time!
If you are interested what I was up to and where I have been then check out my Instagram - it is all more or less documented there :-))) {the link is on the side bar}

Hello, dear friends!
How are you on this Sunday evening?
We had a couple of extremely hot days and it is so nice and cool today with only +30* :-)))
My past few weekends have been a bit busy and with not much opportunities to rest and there is not much chance for me in the next few weeks so I am actually kind of enjoying it when with Mondays certain sense of normality to my life is restored :-))Svetlana Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03096892778904137387noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147971450900324256.post-35581565937312635542016-02-02T09:54:00.000+02:002016-02-02T09:57:59.867+02:00Treasures of the Heart
Hello dear friends! ♥
I am back with yet another new project.
This layout is created for this month's Prima Marketing BAP challenge.
The sketch this time is interesting because in my opinion it can be interpreted in so many ways.
I really love the idea of a heart along with the circle and another large heart though for me the larger hear was the main inspiration for the layout's theme but I Svetlana Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03096892778904137387noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147971450900324256.post-44677363337294899012016-01-23T17:08:00.000+02:002016-01-24T11:22:06.089+02:00Prima Glorious Prima!

It took me a lot of willpower to get myself to write this post today - almost the whole week I was down with flu though "down" is not exactly the way I've been - too many things have to be done so I am moving around :-))) Slowly but I move :-))

Hello everyone!
I hope the first 10 days of 2016 were really good and I also hope that the rest of the year will be filled with really good days and special moments. Make a point and take time to notice it.

I know that this time of the year many of you are enjoying your long awaited summer break (if you are in SA ;-))) or rushing with all the preparations for Christmas and new year celebrations... I am not - I am not on a vacation and I am not bothered much with the celebration part either.

Hello dear all!
I am honestly a bit frustrated with myself - all my good intentions of being more active on my blog just don't lead anywhere :-((( And yeah - I always do have an excuse for it!
This time my excuse is that after all my class preparations, then traveling for classes, then being back home and catching with all I missed while being away, then kids were writing end of the year Svetlana Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03096892778904137387noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147971450900324256.post-70229736387053246592015-10-26T15:43:00.000+02:002015-10-26T19:09:44.540+02:00One Autumn Day
Hello my dear friends!
We are totally over our almost non-existent spring - summer is here for another 6 month :-))
But during September and October I miss Russia the most. Because it is autumn time up there and I really love autumn! I don't miss winter and snow at all but autumn time is something I really long for. That is why every year we go to the mountains in Magoebaskloof area to Svetlana Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03096892778904137387noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147971450900324256.post-50606785437947363722015-10-14T15:04:00.000+02:002015-10-26T15:45:14.080+02:00Life, Friends, Scrapbooking...
Hello, dear friends!
I am back on my blog. A bit later than I planned to return but things happen. Sometimes totally out of our control :-))
Thanks to those of you who left me some nice comments to my previous post.
As you could probably see in the comments, most of the responses were in Russian and you can just guess which language my Russian friends would prefer ;-))

Hello everyone! Yes, it' me :-)))
After long contemplation I am finally writing this post.
I want to blog. I really want to blog. And I wanted to do all this time while I wasn't doing :-))
It is just that the way it was became a bit drab and boring to me. I wanted to bring some change... Nothing major and drastic but I wanted to do it because I enjoy doing it not because I have to keep on Svetlana Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03096892778904137387noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147971450900324256.post-37253190752859912862015-04-14T13:11:00.000+02:002015-04-14T13:11:01.460+02:00Family Love and Tiny Canvas

Today I have a quick post to jump in at the last moment with my entry for March Prima's BAP challenge.
I created this grungy masculine page using papers from Optimist and Cartographer collections and a lot of different embellishments and some flowers.

I am back to my blogging and can't believe how fast time is passing!
My last post was on 1 February and I really can't believe how it is possible.
My days are filed to the brims and sometimes there is just not enough hours and not enough energy in me to do more.
My year so far was great with some good changes and good new opportunities.

I finally got to write this post. I was planning to do it since last Sundays but almost every day was not what I planned it like.
Two weeks ago I mentioned that we were going to Pretoria for my DH's family reunion. We really had great time together. And on Sunday I had to meet my dear friend who moved to another place a couple of month ago.

Ну вот и начался новый год. Как вам живется в 2015-м? :-)))
У меня первые две недели этого года выдались насыщенные. Ну, с учетом того, что я все еще жду какого-то отпуска или отдыха, то для меня это нормально ощущать себя сейчас усталой :-))
Я тут затеяла распродажу у себя в магазине, так что заказов очень много. А еще меня ждут классы.

Hello everyone!
I am back at long last. This past month was busy crazy wonderful and sometimes not so much :-)))
I had 5 quite big projects to finish in the past few weeks for the classes that are planned for the new year. And then I made a few more projects just for pleasure of doing it. And then I am kind of caught up in cardmaking - yeah!

I am rushing to post these LOs because one of them is based on a sketch from Blue Fers Studios.
On Sunday I am flying to Russia for 2 weeks. So this is kind of a last minute blogging.

I hope I still have some friends here though I am neglecting my blog big time.
Life is just keeping me busy all the time. I was planning to make this post already for while but I couldn't even get myself to photograph my new projects.

I forced myself eventually to post a couple of projects I made recently.
I find it really hard to blog, to take photos of the projects, and edit it.
