Thank you for visiting my blog. Much Love Sophie x

I thought I would have a break from writing up my assessment and update my blog. So this week has really surprised me. The sun is blazing hot and I still have my winter work trousers out. I remember last week going to work and all the clients I visit were saying that the weather was dull and that it wasn't summer weather and now this week I go to work and they all say its too hot!!

Maybe that is because they still had the night storage heaters on from those cold nights and their windows were CLOSED!! I got into my first couple calls and all I wanted to go was open all the windows up and put some lose fitting clothes on. But as the weeks gone by I have caught a slight sun tan (burn) on my arms and randomly on one knee :S from sitting in my mums garden on Wednesday as I rushed to complete my 19 question assessment due in yesterday. Which I am just finishing typing up but it is sending me to sleep :(.


I also went to the beach on Tuesday evening as I did not want to waste my night off inside. We went to Eype for a walk along the beach and then stopped in West Bay to get a ice cream which was lovely :) I purposely left my purse at home so I could get a treat. I am a cheeky one.



I am craving to go into the craft room and just craft. Mainly I want to get my images out and finishing colouring the collection stored on my shelf. My craft room is so tidy at the moment and I am not aloud to get it messy as my partner wants to sell the flat so we can buy a house TOGETHER!! Woop and I can not wait.. just the luxury of thinking that one day soon I can have a proper craft room not one I have had to make a spare room as well and also the thought of being able to go outside in the garden on a lovely day like today seems amazing.


Well I best get back to finishing this assignment :( then make a start on the next one. I hoping that whilst I am busy typing a fairy will come and do the pile of ironing my partner has left on the table for me to do today. Such torture to be suck on a laptop and having housework to do. All I can say is that this weekend I am going to relax and craft. I feel like making cupcakes as well but I have no one to give them to so do not think I will bother.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Much love Sophie. x

Hi, I have been away for a while, been busy working and trying to get motivated for my diploma assignments.
I managed to get away from the paperwork today and sneak into the craft room.
I had Wendy from Saturated Canary coloured in on my desk for about two weeks now. Here is my finished card.

I had a lot of fun making my latest project of the treasure chest. I saw a design of it at the Sincerely Yours craft show in Taunton. All I used was a plain treasure chest, two sheets from Graphic 45's The magic of oz collection, ideo-ology film strip ribbon and two adage tickets, a strip of red ribbon, a strip of bronze tinsel ribbon, a length of chain and distress inks.


I distressed the box using old paper, weathered wood and peeled paint to give it a old wooded effect. I cut out the 3x3 square on one of the 12x12 sheets that had all the characters and stuck that down slightly angled. From the other 12x12 sheet I cut out the wizard of oz playing card and stuck that along with the two adage tickets on the front panel.

 On the sides I cut the other two 3x3 squares out and glued them on and cut around them. I cut through the middle where the box opens (as you can see on the image below make sure you go with the box opening and not the grain, my craft knife wasn't having a good day so I have got to patch it up.)
