Glitter Me Silly

Yes indeedy peeps today marks the start of a fab new challenge over on A Passion for Papertrey.  This time we want you to use up some of those bits and bobs we lovingly refer to as “scraps”.  Go on, admit it – you have some form of vessel literally overflowing with little bits of card, paper and ribbon.  Well we are challenging you to put them to use and create something fabulous – just make sure you use something “Papertrey Ink” in your creation. 

Here’s what i came up with:

Ok, off to sort the kids out – we’re off out for dinner tonight so no cooking for me – yay!

When our youngest daughter Pippa decided she didn’t like being in her own room and insisted on getting into bed with her big sister Olivia every night (despite the fact that Olivia shares her bed with about 20 stuffed animals including an almost life-sized unicorn AND one of our cats – seems to be his favourite sleeping spot)  we thought it best to move them in together.  Of course that free’d up one of the bedrooms.  So what was I expected to do with it?  Make it a laundry room, a play room, a guest bedroom?  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  It is now our family craft room!  I added a couple of extra desks and an Expedit unit from Ikea and here is the result so far:

Olivia still has her own desk where she does homework etc (she’s a big crafter too).  I also haven’t sorted out any proper storage system for the shelves so will need to take a wee trip back to Ikea for that!  I also think it is lacking in colour and decoration so will have to work on that too! 

 

By the way, this is the tidiest this room is ever likely to be.  I can’t wait to play in it!!

Am a tad late in getting this posted on my blog so apologies.  I have barely had a minute to myself lately so just grabbing this rare moment to do a quick post and tell you about our new challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey.  This week we want to see you create anything BUT a card.  As always the only rule is you must include at lease one Papertrey Ink product.

Here is the frame I made for my nephew as a gift for his recent Christening.  I’m not a big fan of all those little silver trinkets you can buy so decided to make him something which is a bit more personal I think. 

Supplies:
Stamps:  Tiny Treats: Valentine (PTI), Alphabet, Banana frog
DP and CS: Papertrey Ink
Ink: ProMarkers

Ok, must dash.   Have a great weekend everyone.
