Todays card

One thing about this weather is it forces you to stay in, which can either drive you nuts or you can go blog hopping. I chose to do the latter with a bit of the former chucked in for good measure. Fortunatley today the snow looks like its clearing, its melting a little bit, which is clearing the roads. Nothing else but that will do for me, at least I can get out and about a bit better.Last night I looked at the Penny Black Saturday challenge and came up with this.
They have two card sketches that you can choose from. I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself, you may notice there's a pattern. Yes I used some more of the purple card stock mountain and my fabulous new punches from Martha Stewart. I don't feel that anything is complete without the butterfly and deep floral border punch. Yummy.

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme.
