Catching Up

I can't believe how long it is since I posted. I took this week off work as it was my birthday last Sunday, I usually have to week off the relax. Last week I was working in London for a couple of days,  when I returned home walked into my house I decided I didn't like the colour of my walls anymore. Just like that still in my business clothes and heels I moved all the furniture into the middle of the living room and decided it was time to paint. The next morning I admit to thinking I must have lost the plot. So my week off has been spent decorating my living room, but I love the results. I also had two new windows fitted and some cavity wall insulation done, so all in all it was a very productive week.
Just when I thought I'd got things all back in order I realised my car was a little poorly, it turned out I needed a new clutch. So today while the car was being fixed I finally chilled out and made some cards. I had some stamps that still haven't had ink on them so today was the day.
Here is the first, its another stamp from Lili of the Valley, I had forgotten I'd ordered this one, but I recently bought a new Mariannes die and wanted to try it out.

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 ...
