Phew what a week!!!!

It's been another busy week hence the lack of blog posts! Not had a minute to scrap... apart from this weeks SSC challenge.

I now have a very tidy and organised craft room! It so needed to be done and done it was! I can actually find stuff now... and along the way I rediscovered a fair bit of stash that I had totally forgotten about!

Spent the night at Angie's last night as we hit South Shields for an early birthday celebration (Angie's... next saturday ;)) Well needless to say am feeling a bit worse for wear this morning and pretty tired which isn't great as I have stacks to do before we set off for stitches!

Anyhoo... this weeks challenge... set by Karen, was to use only one shape on a project. Such as squares, rectangles, circles etc. Quite a tricky one this and I played it safe and went with rectangles!

I used our Mellow kit and some of our new buttons... have a bit of a button thing going on at the moment!!!!

Right on that note I had better dash... stacks to do and not much time! Will pop back with some pics from stitches when I get a mo!

Have a great weekend all!

The Aftermath!!!!!

Yes this is what my craftroom looks like after a manic week of scrapping! Ok to be honest, it's never the tidiest of rooms as I'm a pretty messy scrapper but this is the worst it's ever been! You know its bad when you lose a ruler and you can't find it any where!!!! I mean the ruler is 12 inches long for gods sake!!! I did find it... eventually!
I have finished the samples for the StampBox stand at stitches and I'm pretty pleased with what I've made... just hope that Julie and Alan like them too!!!! I've tried to stretch out of my comfort zone and try new things. Here are some sneaky peeks of the rest of the layouts....

You'd think that I'd be all scrapped out by now. Well no.... it seems to have kick started my mojo big time and I have sketches and ideas galore... but these will be made at a leisurely pace ;-)

Right best get the weekend's orders packed and make a start on tidying THAT room!!!

As promised....

A full pic of the layout for the blog challenge! Am still busy scrapping.... today is the last full day that I have to get as much done as possible!

I've used our Bliss kit and based the layout on one of the "recipes" from the new Designing With Recipes book by Autumn Leaves.

So have taken 2 paracetamol to help with the smallish hangover from last night and am about to head up the stairs and start creating!!!!

Will pop back later with some more sneak peeks ;-)

Enjoy your sunday
