Stamp Workshop

On Friday night I went to a workshop where we made cards, invites and a LO using the new Fiskars stamp range. I used the baby one and was really happy with the end result. The stamps were so easy and fun to use, and so I ordered a set. Look forward to using those in future LOs! The ladies I do the workshop with are keeping me very busy. We also do monthly challenges, where every week they post a new challenge - I have almost finished last weeks LO about someone we admire, and tomorrow (if I can!) might make a start on this weeks challenge, which is to do a LO using springtime colours with flowers, brads - and it must have at least 5 photos. I have never used this many on one LO before, so I can't wait to do this!

Today......

Worked today at "my" scrapbook store. I am really enjoying it now I am getting the hang of it a bit more! I really like helping customers that come in and ask for advice, and I love being in a scrapbook shop all day! Tomorrow i will be finishing off some OTP projects (mini fridge magnets) and am hoping to get started on my "recipe challenge" where I have to do a LO with what was listed in the "recipe". Like : 2 photos only, 2 chipboard scrolls etc. We can use only the things listed and I am looking forward to doing this - challenging and fun! Am off to a workshop Fri night where we will be doing a new range of stamps to make cards - have seen examples - very cute!

Busy busy busy

Went to a crop on Friday night. While we scrapped, we got our feet pampered, which was the best! Soaking, scrub and cream - would love to do that again! I got half a LO done, and mucked around with some OTP stuff, but we mainly talked. Dont mind that, there's lots of laughs too. I am going on my first scrapbook retreat in Sept (or is it Oct?) so I am really looking forward to that! Found a nice little S/B shop today, so of course I had to go in and buy something! Just p/papers mainly. Can never have enough of that! Have a new challenge to complete this week, and another cybercrop in a couple of weeks. This scrapping keeps me so busy, but I'm not complaining!

You and me

This is from a monthly challenge where we had to do a black and white LO. (12/08/07 - I have just had this LO framed. It is black, and there is room between the glass and the LO if there is any embellishments that stick up a bit. Love this frame!)
