After weeks of penny-pinching I finally succumbed to the temptation of a new scrap shop "Flourish" at Carina. It's really close to Mum's so I dumped the boys and took a solo trip today. I loaded up on some extra bits and pieces I haven't seen before and the whole lot of Pink Paislee's "fetching" range.
Ouch ...
Learned that the owner Jan, is also on the 123 Challenge Creative Team!! Will wonders never cease? I am so excited about finally choosing new stuff to play with that I'm sure I'll be creating like crazy next week.
On the home run with my DT stuff for Inkredible so will be able to share very soon (YAY). Ngaire is teaching again this Saturday. WOOHOO, another day to myself.
Here's my 123 Challenge layout for April.
paint splatters, stamping stamping and more stamping and using only scraps. Yes, that would be the sole of my Colorado slides I used as a background stamp. Gorgeous, isn't it? What does the sole of YOUR shoe look like? Try putting paint on it and "walking" over cardstock...very cool. Even the cardstock was from the REJECT pile.
I still get excited about the 123 challenges every month even though we are spoilt for choice when it comes to challenge blogs.
AND A WIN
at White With One. I get a fantastic voucher at Uproar to Scrapmore!! I see Dalena has the new Fancy Pants coming!!!! Mmmmmmmm....... Thanks ladies!!
HAPPY EASTER!!
We certainly did. Mum is off on Sunday to trip around her homeland for 6 months. She's very teary, but I think she'll be fine.
The lovely Renee Dowling and her kids came for a play yesterday.

EXHAUSTING.....but AWESOME FUN!! Karelene couldn't make it. Miss Scarlet was unwell.
Next time Kars!!!!
I think a spend every so often is what we need. I felt such guilt when I spent but it was what I needed to start afresh.
