I'm so bad

I have neglected my blog a bit this week, my busy weekend last week turned into a really busy week. Firstly I had made some goodies for Craftwork Cards using the Spellbinders and Candi, but sometimes I don't like what I make. I was not happy with some of my cards. These projects are going with Sue and Julie to CHA in America next week along with all of the projects from the rest of the design team. The stand at the show will be based around all our efforts and I wasn't too happy with everything. Then at the 11th hour I came up with some ideas and two scrapbook pages and I was back in the game.Sneak peeks only I'm afraid at the moment.
 
 
 
 
I will post everything once we get the go ahead, I'm excited to see what the rest of the DT create and to see what sort of reception the projects get. 
I then had to go down to London for three days with work and by the time I got home I was worn out, not a thing has been done over the last couple of days and here we go its the weekend again. Time to catch up on everything and prepare to go back to London for two more days work.This morning I decided I was going to get all of the house work and washing out of the way and as a reward I could have Sunday as my crafting day. Well with a reward like that I got everything out of the way and felt a need to purge my craft room of 'stuff' that is just there and has been for some time, perhaps shifting some of this might inspire my creativity again. Not such a good idea I'm surrounded by it all again,so its all going back and I'm going to do one box or cupboard at a time.
So while I am busy with that here is a page for you to look at, this was one I made recently when my scrapbooking buddy visited, I used one of the sketched from this fabulous book as the basis. I also used my Sarah's Cards kit from February, I love the colours.
My 'featured' thing at the moment seems to be cutting out flowers from the patterned papers. I have had some beautiful papers recently that all called out to be cut up this way. Right I hope I am now forgiven for neglecting you, I'm going to do the ironing then my craft room will need me.

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 ...
