A good days play!!!

I have spent the whole day playing with some of the new kits from the shop!!!
And I have thoroughly enjoyed myself!



It is very rare that I get to sit and play for a whole day so I really made the most it and I'm not finished yet! Am planning a layout for later! Having said that, I have a rather large glass of wine in my hand at the moment so we'll see how things go LOL!!!

The greeting on all of the cards are from Hampton Art Studio G stamps....aren't they gorgeous?
I have a real thing about stamps at the moment and am building up my collection very quickly! All of these cards are made from our Junkitz Flowerful Kit. If you haven't got yours yet I would hurry as they are flying!!!


Now I know that I said I'd been tagged by Samm a couple of days ago....I have to confess that I still haven't sussed out people to tag who haven't been tagged already....so if you would like to be tagged....leave a comment and I'll tag you!!!! It'll be a great way to meet other bloggers as I'm very new to all this!!

And changing the subject completely!!! Yesterday I took my Craft Robo out of the box for the very first time! I've ony had it 8 months!!! I think I was a bit scared of how complicated it would be to use....well I shouldn't have been....it's easy peasy!!! It is well and truly christened now! Will show you some of the results tomorrow ;)


I'll leave you with the final card of today that I can share (the others are for a forthcoming kit ;))



Catch up soon

Where does the time go?

Honestly, I do not know! This year is flying by! It's 25 days til I head off to Kefalonia again and I cannot wait!! It will be lovely just to relax in the sun with a glass of something nice in my hand and to feel the sun on my face!!!


Today has been busy as usual! Met up with Theresa (one the design team girls) to hand over some stash to play with and then it was an emergency trip to see my sister who had been clamped by the DVLA (that'll teach her not to get her licence on time!) and bail her out....so £200 lighter (yes...I know!!) I came home with a headache (I wonder why?) to pack and post today's orders.


The flowerful kit is proving really popular and well it should as those papers are gorgeous! Last night I did something that I haven't done for months.....I did a UKS weekly challenge!!!


I used the flowerful kit and added a few extra brads and some felt! Have to confess that I did this whilst under the influence of a few glasses of wine but hey!!! it turned out ok!!
Other news..... I have been tagged! By samm....I will get her back...don't you worry!
Now all I have to do is find 5 poor people to tag too.....cruel isn't it?!!!
Will post in the morning who the unlucky people are!!!
Right off to scrap (without the help of wine tonight!)

Ok so that's enough kit talk!!!! Today has been spent finishing off my Scrapping Angels CJ :) Now for all of you who haven't heard of Scrapping Angels.....why not?!!!! Only joking!!!
