So Behind

God, where has the month gone? The whole ankle thing has completely obliterated any bit of organisation I have. I'm behind on nearly everything and have piles of absolutely everything to sort from stock and bills, to ironing. Then to add insult to injury my computer has been acting up and I just haven't had the time to sort it out. However, enough moaning, time to start making good with the mess.

The first two layouts are the ones for the last Scrapaholic event. The 'Best Friends' one is the one I had completed to demonstrate the layout and the 'Where's mum?' uses the Scrapaholic kit. Just in case anyone is wondering about the title, my lovely monsters are always ribbing me for being short. This seemed the perfect pic to capture their sentiments - I'm bullied.






This layout is from the Tuesday crop absolutely ages ago, but I really like it. I used the Old World Cardstack from DCWV and the beautiful Flowerz from Junkitz.



Card using the same, would have been an excellent quick make, if I hadn't decided to use string that was really thick!!!!

The next batch of pics are my sample cards with the SOM, I had to stop myself from making loads more, my enthusiasm just ran away with me.

This one is stamped with the Adirondack ink pads and I've used the Old World cardstock again.




This one is stamped, coloured in with pencil and then triple embossed with clear powder. The black snowflakes are stamped in Versamark and embossed in clear, whilst the white ones are punched white card.



This one has backing paper from one of the K&Co ranges (the name of which escapes me). The tag is stamped with Versamark and clear embossed again and then splattered with the Adirondack Dye Ink Sprays, great fun.


This is a more traditionally themed card, nice and simple gold embossed and decoupaged (sorry for pic quality).



Finally, my autumn one. Stamped with Ancient page and coloured in with pencil. The leaf was stamped and dry embossed on to copper foil.

Now for last weeks Tuesday crop. I made this little book with Stampboard, which I love. I'm trying to do projects with CHRISTMAS some bit in mind.




The pictures really don't do this any justice, it's very sweet being only 2" by 2" and would make a great gift for that person that needs to receive a pressie, but you have no idea what to get them. You could make it about absolutely anything. I have some cards incorporating Stampboard which I will up load up at some stage.
I also have this Tuesdays project to put upload, but I want to tweak it a bit. For those of you that know Kye is due to be having his op on Friday, so I imagine I'll be as disorganised as ever and then some.
Before I go, profuse apologies to all with regards to Sizzix order, I haven't managed to get the thing sorted yet and if I'm honest with myself I doubt it will happen this week either, sorry.
Off to tackle some ironing now.
