HOUSEWORK VS SCRAPPING???

Sunday I got up with the good intention to get stuck into my housework...get all tidy and later on get a LO done - or maybe two even - if time allowed..........

Nup...  didnt happen...... 

I got my cup of tea and wandered into my study - started fiddling with a few things.....and that was that...didnt even finish my cup of tea.  I scrapped all day and truly.......it was about time everything else went on the backburner!  

So worth it - even if I'm playing catch-up now!  (rolling eyes)

Today I got a parcel delivered (yipee!) from SCRAP THERAPY - they are having a sale!!!  I love stocking up on my background papers etc...some bargains to be had with lots of fab products!

You need to check this out here!

This is one place you get your goodies super quick! 

SCRAP IT LAH

The criteria was white - with a little of one other colour. Loved this challenge!

Here's Paige in the snow!  Its so chilly here at the moment!!  I think this is the coldest Winter we've had in quite a long time.

XOXO CHALLENGE

This is a scraplifting challenge blog - a lot of good fun and diverse LO's to choose from to lift!

This time I've chosen two.....  This first one is Andrea's.

And the second one is a lift of Jeanette's

SCRAPJACKED USA

What a great jack!

Look at little Hannah and Paige practicing their ballet on the front veranda!

At that very moment they were saying 'Hands on hips'!  Too cute

You can find the challenge here

Got to love PURPLE ONION DESIGNS!!

I fell in love with these alpha stamps (which I've used on the above and below LO's) the moment I set eyes on them on their website... AND so glad I got them!!  They are called Broken15 Alphabet There is a smaller size to this font.... thats on my 'must' list!!!

ITs a really expressive alphabet... how do I explain that?? 

Weeeeeell, to me with all its little side-lines and dots, crockedness etc...its child-like..

or even teenager graffetti like - if that makes sense- almost like the the way the children would actually say the words.  Hmmmn....not sure if I do make sense...but I know what I mean LOL!

In the 'Hand's on Hip's' LO, I used paint on the stamps, below pink ink.

(Click on the pics to enlarge.  Stamping with paint made it a bit more splodgy-er and just how I like it!)

This is my studio....

There are some other gorgeous alpha stamps I love there as well!!

I'm finding I use more and more alpha stamps these days (especially with paint!) because they are sooo versatile with the freedom of colour choices....and in the end.... a whole lot cheaper - using them over and over!!

I'm sooooooo not finished with this new set....Its gonna turn up a lot in my LO's me thinks!!
