Lovely new places to spend your money...

My friends have been 'enabling' (I love that word) me these past few weeks and have pointed me in the direction of some new stores to add to my ever growing list of places to send my pay cheque to when it arrives.

My lovely friend Maria sent me off to look at One Hundred Wishes. Oh my goodness I practically had to buy one of everything it was so gorgeous! I was fairly restrained though and ordered some gorgeous lace, paper, pins and 'wish' raffle tickets and some other bits and bobs. Really fast delivery from across the pond and my goodies were all wrapped up in lovely tissue and ribbon which always make things seem even nicer.

Kay introduced me to another fantastic digital store which is right up my street (what I would give to be on the CT for that one) called Shabby Pickle Designs. Kay is a guest designer there this month and I got to play with the kit she is selling.

It's a gorgeous kit, really girly and has loads of papers and elements that aren't monkey related so it's just perfect for anything girly.

At the weekend Shabby Pickle had a free kit download which is pretty pretty pretty, I can't wait to play with it and I've got quite a long wish list too :)

Other news - I've applied for a Creative Team position at one of my favourite digi stores so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that an email will drop into my inbox really soon and I've bought a treadmill!!! Not for running on I have to add but for walking, so that I can get more exercise to help my poorly back. Hopefully more walking and the really strict diet I have put myself on will help me in my quest to lose a lot of weight. It's being delivered tomorrow :)

Catching up ...

We had a great NSD crop over at Prima Hybrid (if you're looking for the template it's further down) and I can share the examples I made for the challenges I was running, the members who took part really caught hold of the idea of shaped cards which was my first challenge and I loved seeing what everyone created.

My second challenge was and advert challenge and this is the frame I created, it's a gift for a friend so I've left it empty so she can add her own photograph.

'Catching up' seems to be a frequent type of blog post around here but I want to share the cards I've been working on and I love to go right back to the start of my blog and look at the cards I've made and given away.

To Infinity And Beyond ...

We are huge Buzz Lightyear fans in our house and just look what I got to play with during the week!!! A new digital kit from NitWit Collections called Spaced Out and I loved it!! These are the cards that I made, you can see why I've fallen in love with it. The colours and elements are perfect for boy cards and I can see that I will be using it over and over again!

On Friday and again on Saturday at 11pm UK time and 5pm across in America
I am hosting 2 challenges over at Prima Hybrid as part of the InterNational Scrapbook Day celebrations. There will be challenges and games all weekend as well as prizes (both digital and traditional) and the PrimaHybrid Flowergirls are holding another blog party where you will be able to collect free templates (if you don't do digital you can save the templates and use them as sketches) as you hop from blog to blog. It's going to be lots of fun so come along and join in.
