Well, lots happening - too busy to even update my blog! No, just slack.....! But I am now working at my LSS "Crafty" and starting this Thusrday I will also be teaching classes there. My first class is an OTP item using the new MM Fifth Avenue range. Love it! Other favorites of mine at the moment are:

MM Love Story

Sweetwater

and wait till you see all the new things coming in store soon! Very exciting, cant wait to scrap with this stuff! This LO was done using the MM Love Story range.

nonstopscrapper!

I had spent so much time scrapping lately and have had alot of things to complete. The LSS where I work is opening an online store, so I have done some LOs to put in the gallery there. I am also in 2 swaps at the moment - one is to make 2 chipboard frames and embellish them using the color the person has chosen. My other swap is an ATC swap - have had lots of fun making these using my new Autumn Leaves stamps. Love that stamp set! I also have a wekly challenge that needs to be done by Sunday, and a workshop tonight using a foam stamp that you heat and press objects onto to create a different sort of stamped look on LOs.

Fav Stuff at the moment:

Autumn Leaves stamps

Journalling tags

Inks (ink everything!)

Paint - am only just starting to use this on my LOs, and am really enjoying using it - I use it instead of ink around pages or photos, so now with my inks and paints I have a huse selection of colours to choose from.

My BIG News!

I memtioned in an earlier post that I was in "Scrap Idol" at my LSS. Well I was the lucky winner! It is really nice to know that others like what I do.And I got a great prize pack, so I was very happy with that!

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!
