Emily Falconbridge challenge: week 5...

This weeks prompt:

Use some ephemera from your week.

[Week 5: Use some ephemera from your week]

As some of you may know [and those of you who have read the journalling on the reverse of the card will have no doubt picked up that] I have a slight addiction to TK Maxx.

It is a happy place for me to while away the hours perusing the whoopsed section. It's like a jumble sale but with easy parking and regular opening hours.

For those of you who are wondering what 'whoopsed' is - it's clearance stock, named 'whoopsed' as the clearance stuff in Asda is usually accompanied by a reduced sticker which is labelled 'whoops'. Whoopsed therefore is the plural of 'whoops'.

I'm glad we cleared that up.

So my ephemera was a tag from a recent jaunt to the land of whoopsed, where lo and behold they were having a mega super whoopsed clear out. It was very nearly all too much. I did have to have a small sit down on my return home to recover from the overload.

Stay tuned for another 'Deck of me' card coming your way super soon.

Emily Falconbridge challenge: week 4...

[This weeks prompt was 'a symbol you love']

TA plain cardstock background was covered with Prima papers from the Pulse collection, the bracket stamp is Sasafrass Lass and there is a bit of Cosmo Cricket lurking in there too. Guess where these bits came from? Yes the marvelous and ever expanding bit box. Another project completed and assigned to the *best* category. The asterisk is Scenic Route which I left naked and covered with glossy accents to add a bit more dimension to the page.

As indicated by the journalling on the back of the card I hear-by give you my definition of the words I generally assign an asterisk to, admittedly not necessarily as a footnote, although they are at the bottom of the page...

*Best*. Noun. Something which has been saved, treasured and ooh and ahh'ed over for a long period of time. Something which takes a great deal of willpower and confidence in ability to use.

*Stuff*. Noun. Generic term meaning anything at all. Can encompass home wares, beautiful objects or handmade items to name but a few.

Too many things and not enough time...

Before I decided to start this whole blogging thing I often thought that I wouldn't have enough *stuff* to blog about. Oh how wrong can one person be?! Lots of things have happened in the last few days that are worthy (in my humble opinion) of some blog space so I'm going to post twice today - crazy stuff I know :D.
Check out my new tag below for the UK Stampers Weekly Challenge which you can find here .

This weeks letter was G for Grafitti - one of my all time favoutite subjects, if you are a fan too then I can highly recommend a trip to Barcelona - where the walls are a colourful explosion of excitment!
Check back with me later when I'll be sharing some partyful glee with you all over at Shimelle.com .

Until tonight my friends!
