Still busy scrapping!

And loving every minute of it! The craft room looks like someone has thrown a bomb in it... but the rest of the house is still tidy-ish!!!!
I seriously cannot remember the last time I scrapped so much in such a short space of time!

The new kits are selling really well... mind you, they are pretty gorgeous!

Here's a sneeky peek of tomorrow's blog challenge which goes live in the morning. I have used our Bliss kit and based it on one of the layouts from the new Designing With Recipes book.
And here are some sneek peeks of some of the layouts I've been working on this week!






I have a few more layouts "in progress" so to speak! Will get cracking and finish some more tonight!

Tomorrow is our local crop day so I also need to pack up the shop and get ready for that. I'm busy , busy at the mo! Mind you will be having some let my hair down time tomorrow night...

Right off to make something to eat.... will post a full pic of the blog challenge layout in the morning!

Busy scrapping!!!

Am having a great week scrapping! It's not very often that I have the time just to spend pure days scrapping so this week is a pure joy. What am I scrapping? Ah well... unfortunately I can't share them just yet! I've been asked by StampBox, a fab UK wholesaler, to design some layouts for their stand at stitches. This means I get to play with the most fabulous products from ranges including Bazzill, My Minds Eye, Daisy Bucket, Autumn Leaves, Collage Press etc. How lucky am I? Stitches is the main craft trade show in this country and starts 17th February! I'm excited but terrified at the same!!! I really want to produce some great work to showcase their gorgeous products.
So that's what I've been doing for the past few days... oh and putting together kits! Monday saw me and Karen (my chief kit putter togetherer!!!) sorting out the new kits ready to ship as soon as the final 2 pieces arrive... which will be any day now!



I am loving this kit! It's bright and summery and just cheers me up no end just looking at it!!!! These papers by Rhonna Farrer have been around for a while but methinks that they will be classics! A bit like the Junkitz Flowerful... papers that you can pull out your stash and always be able to scrap with them. You know what I mean? Some papers... well you buy them because everyone is raving about them and then you just don't use them as they aren't that useable!!!! I could seriously decorate every wall in my house twice over with papers like this!!!!!

It's our local crop this saturday and for once I am sooo organised! The kits for the class are all packed and all I have to do is sort out the shop on friday night and I'm good to go.

Right I'm off to scrap some more! Daisy Bucket papers are calling my name!!!
