Look What Came Today.....

.....January's Kit from Sarah's Cards; Happy Together by Fancy Pants.  Lovely!

Along with a few extras - Matching thickers

and some lovely rub ons:

and glitter cuts

and finally a nice coordinating chalk eye:

Changed my day off this week as I have a Doctors appointment this morning so plan to get scrapping with this kit this afternoon.

Missing Mojo

Started this LO Wednesday night using the December Calico Kit with add on papers.  On Thursday and Friday night I have come back to it, looked and thought 'what on earth do I do now?'  Obviously it is clearly not finished but I really don't know want to add next.  

Mojo, where have you gone?

Making Cards For Men

I don't make that many cards compared to the amount I made about 10 years ago but everytime I sit down to make a male card I struggle.  Little boys, no problem but teenagers and male adults just can't get going.  This week I have made 2 cards, both for the same person.  First one I managed to leave on the train along with their present and have made the replacement one today.  Light was awful Thursday night and I was in a rush yesterday morning so I didn't manage to get a picture of the first but here is the second card:

Could really kick myself for leaving the bag on the train but with handbag & crutches to struggle with I just left it.  Bag has not been handed in sadly.

However, I hope person who has got my bag likes my handiwork.  All I ask in return is you open the present and use the digital camera to take a picture of the card and email it to me.  It will be much appreciated.  

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?

This week we have the first shot from the new location of my craft desk.  Didn't get anywhere near getting the decorating done before my desk moved.  Only managed to remove the fitted wardrobes, hence the lovely 80's wallpaper.  Just check it out!

Haven't actually done any crafting here yet despite the desk being here for a month now.  Life has just got in the way.

Pop on over to Julia's if you want to join in or see many many more craft spaces.

Have a great day & happy crafting x

Lovely Little Deliveries

Wasn't the best of days on Friday as everything has just seemed to go wrong, one little thing after another.  It wasn't helped by the fact it was Friday, my non working day and I was at work!  My mouse wasn't working, my computer kept freezing, left my lunch at home....and on it went!  However, when I got home I came back to a super lovely extra large pizza box all the way from the US; the absolutely stunning January Studio Calico kit, Who's Who:

I also had my usual add on papers.  These are the patterned papers from the four add on kits that can be purchased separately each month:

And this month I also purchased one of the add on kits: Betty Crocker:

I added another 3 mists to my collection:

Warm Calico                         Apple Jack                      Calico Cream

I also took delivery this week of a wonderful scrap sketch book; Scrapbook Page Maps 2.  

Its a lovely colourful spiral bound book with over 100 sketches.  The best bit is there are some tear out laminated cards at the back of the sketches than are already punched so you can take the cards with you to a crop if you don't have room to take the book.  Thank you to my fellow scrappers at Bromsgrove crop who brought their copies on Saturday.  First thing I did when I got home was pop over to the Amazon website to order my own copy.  Really lovely book that I know I will get many great LO's from.  It really is good value for money and recommend you have a look at a copy if you can.

Fellow scrappers Deb, Libby & Jackie all brought their copies and we all scrapped 'Ted'. Click on the names to see their pages.  This is mine using the Scrapagogo December kit; 'Miss Cutie':

I also completed some pages in my JYC album (finished off at home as I had left my journalling paper at home) and this page, 'Meeting Santa' where I used the September Scrapagogo kit

Aim this week is to carry on with my JYC album and I will be back later in the week to show you my progress.  

Hope you all have had a great weekend so far & enjoy what's left of it. x
