Scrapbook Maps: Mother & daughter
The focus of this book is layout maps; therefore we have decided not to add any photos to the layouts. To emphasise the fact that you can make use of any theme or colour of paper and embellishments, we do not give any product specifications.
Each layout map has been thoughtfully designed to give you maximum versatility. By swapping the pages or rotating one or both pages, you can create up to 64 combinations from each double-page layout map. You can also use a combination of two layout maps – the possibilities are endless!
The two layouts on the opposite page were both created using the same layout map, yet each has a unique look and feel.

Fast Art – Beware the agapanthus!
Agapanthus are indigenous to the Cape, though they now grow in abundance
elsewhere. Even in the cold north, my aunt grows them in pots in summer and sends them to the nursery for safekeeping in the winter! The silhouettes that my prolific agapanthus make on the ground on a sunny day were the inspiration for this panel. I used silver leaf on board as a painting surface, though a similar effect could have been achieved on any smooth surface. The watered down paint ‘pools’ more, creating a distinctive effect.

of Christmas decorations, not everybody can afford to buy new decorations. The elements
in this chapter – Christmas tree, angel, candles and advent calendar – are all traditionally

Outside Art – Go and play outside…
Decoupage handmade paper onto fibreboard to make an outdoor games table
Mosaics, larger tiles or paving stones would look good too, but all depends on the cost and scale you’re prepared to invest. This was a good way for me to renovate a small patio table my father had made. The cracked tiled top looked decidedly shabby and there’s just so much mosaic I can live with. This finish is durable, affordable and useful too. Our home is ‘cosy’ (read ‘small’) so multi-purpose furniture works well. Make chess, backgammon or other boards this way. It’s fun to play open-air games, and snacks and drinks won’t stain this wipe-clean surface. Be creative with your ‘tiles’ – photocopying a game board is infringing on copyright even if you are not selling your finished item. I made some changes to our favourite crossword game. You don’t need a table to fit the game board – just plonk it on the grass if you’re young with good knees!

Outside Art – Bush lighting
‘Upcycle’ throwaway plastic into a stylish outdoor light fitting
I’ve always wanted to make an outdoor butterfly chandelier – imagining a suspended cloud of butterflies strung on transparent threads – but in a windy, coastal city this is not practical. The butterflies would ‘twangle’ themselves into a knot at the first hint of moving air. A change of plan involved finding the right delicate yet strong support system that would set off my butterfly lights.
Metalasia muricata, otherwise known as blombos (or white bristle brush), is a very hardy, honey-scented coastal bush which proliferates along the Garden Route, from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. After a bushfire the gnarled branches with characteristically twisted twigs are starkly attractive. However, any dead branch with lots of interesting twists would work for this project. White and transparent plastic milk bottles (donated by our friendly Greencycle group) are easily transformed into delicate fluttering shapes, lovely enough to grace any outdoor wedding or celebration space.

Fast Art – See the sea
The fluidity of the sea is imitated with the wonderful effects which can be created by simply watering down paint and pouring it across the canvas. Allowing the colours to blend almost creates your painting for you. This is also an ideal way to do ‘under painting’ for a more complex painting.
