{You are the sun in my day...}

2016 started off with exiting and anticipation.  My daughter got married on the 20th February.  This was a momentous time in our life, a beautiful and awe-inspiring occasion for our family.  I was witnessing my little girl step into the full bloom of her womanhood, an extraordinary transformation.
Where has the time gone? There was no time for scrapbooking as this was a DIY wedding, from flower arrangements to table decor and props.  We worked extremely hard to make this day perfect, but it was worth every moment and some tears I might add!  This is my first layout this year and this is photos of the newlyweds when they were still dating.  Thank you for looking.

I was so thrilled to see my layout on the cover of Issue 46 of the latest Scrap Affairs.  What a surprise and amazing feeling.  Here is the cover..

Stoffel is always part of our Christmas family photo shoot.  He is almost 16 years old and I can see the last few months he has grown old. He is so part of the family and we all love him so much!

Ek stap nou die dag by Woolworths in, koop 'n paar goedjies en terwyl ek in die tou staan om te betaal sien ek hierdie stunning "snow globe". Ek is bietjie van 'n sucker vir mooi Kersfees versierings en boonop is ek 'n baie getroue en lojale ondersteuner van Woolworths. Ek het sommer dadelik 'n kop vol idess gehad. Ek het vanoggend die "snow globe" saam met Kersfees balle afgeneem, my eie klein Kersfees scenery opgestel. Fotos geneem tot ek tevrede was met die regte foto. My inspirasie vir hierdie uitleg is Julie van The Winks Place, 'n uitleg wat sy Januarie 2011 gemaak het.

This is my take on the challenge over at Words and Paintery. I love the colour scheme.
