What a waste of a day!

Been feeling really 'ughhhh' today, I ran this morning and it just seems to have drained me, my distance was down and since running I haven't really wanted to move all day, I have got nothing done!

I popped into TK Max over the weekend, they stock some scrappy supplies, although until this time its been mostly yucky K&Co and Laura Ashley stuff which is not my bag at all, however this time there was a fair amount of American Craft stuff. I was good however and just picked up this fabby stamp set for only £3.99.



One of the images is of a cute butterfly, Jessica and I spent a happy half hour on Sunday stamping some and colouring them in and stickling them. We have had the idea of lining them up in a shadow box with pins in them so they look a little like the butterfly collections that you see sometimes (they are hideous, but this will be cute!)
Also I finished my scraplift of this lo here I didn't do too well in the end, and there are lots of similar elements and some not so similar bits. If i'm honest I got a bit bored and found the copying was draining my creativity such as it is and so I stopped and decided to call it done, so heres mine

  2. Awww Emma, you are allowed not so good days you know!! I think your LO is great - nicer than the digi one actually, but I know what you mean when feeling drained and mojoless when lifting other ideas! Good bargain on the stamp though! xx

  4. I love your stamps and your layout. I think your TK Maxx is my 'local' TK Maxx (Brislington?) and I was wondering if they had any AC stuff. This is dangerous knowledge! lol.

  7. Thanks for the message! I don't actually know where that is, but I will google. I'm terrible - we've only lived here 2 yrs and I didn't have access to a car in the week until recently, so I've been nowhere, lol. I will check out both if I get the chance! Good excuse to go exploring! Thanks again! Lx

  8. Have googled and I was being dense. I do know where that is. Should have googled first and then I wouldn't have looked stupid, ha ha.
