13 on the 13th

Do you ever have a pile of 'bits' left over after scrapbooking? I always so and it breaks my heart to throw them away, but if I don't I would end up disappearing under a pile of scraps. Occasionally I go through mt scrap box and if they are smaller than 5 inches in any direction they have to go. This weekend I felt I needed to tidy up the craft room following my recent scrapbooking efforts and there they were the 'bits'. The colours all looked so pretty together and I noticed they were all strips, over at The Studio Challenges blog today they have their first ever card challenge, and it is to use 13 of something on the card. I have to restock the cards at work, so there is the answer, I've used 13 strips on my card.This will now go into the work stash of cards. Done!

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. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic.   Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued
