On Tuesday I blocked the whole day and had a scrapping marathon, thus giving me quite a few pages to show to you over the coming weeks. My dining table looked like a production line, with lots of half finished pages in various stages of completion, lined along the edge. I was really pleased with myself, especially as in the evening I finished reading two books, which I will review in between other posts.
So here is a LO I made that covers two different challenges set by two different blogs this week. It covers the Creative Thought challenge which was to scrap when you felt unconditional love for someone or something. That was easy to scrap as I decided my children should be the main focus of that one. I also used this LO to scraplift the Pencil Lines challenge, which basically gives you a design each week to copy. I would highly recommend both sites for scrappers lacking inspiration and/or time, as I didn't really feel as though I had to think about it too much.
In this LO, I used my posh new scalloped paper, which came in a back of 60 pages, all different colours. Will I get bored of it, before I finish the packet? Not sure as I do so love the scalloped edges. The wording was all created on my super duper Cricut machine, that after gathering dust in the corner of my room, came out of hibernation and reminded me how quick and easy it was to use.
The tag was one of the ones my friends, Elizabeth, who kindly printed them off on her PC. It reads ' You make me mad, you make me angry, but you will never stop me loving you!'
It depicts the stage of life, where my children think they know better than me and will swear that black is blue. It is a stage, I am finding quite frustrating and feel like I need a good dose of patience to help me keep calm. Anyone else have this with their children? Are your darlings 8 going on 18? I might need to set up a counselling group for the Mother Who Lie (According To Their Children).Thank you for your birthday wishes to hubby. We had friends come round and we had a fabulous evening, which resulted in copious amounts of wine, Doritos and Chinese being consumed.
These pictures were taken before I dropped my camera! Aaargh! Luckily it still works, though I did feel a little under the weather the following day and was disgusted to find I had gained four pounds in weight in one session, which resulted in me spending the rest of the week working hard to remove them.

Off to tidy up the garden now, before the window cleaner sues me for broken bones due to the conditions in which he has to work under. Big sigh! A woman's work is never done!
