I sat down and made THIS.....

It is about a 10" wall hanging from an embroidery circle ( I think that is what you call it)... it has everything from the kit except the butterfly punches... the big one is from Stampin' Up! and made from Tim Holtz Grungeboard. The small one is from Martha Stewart. Used lots and lots of paint and Gel Medium. The flower is from the kit... it is a cupcake tin and I inked it with black Stazon and then rubbed some of that off, then painted it with pink and white paint. The leaves are from a sheet of printed paper that came in the kit.
I was up late and made a HUGE mess.... (see photo below for evidence that I do actually scrapbook once in a while) :)

This picture leads me to this QUESTION....WHY IS IT THAT WE START WITH A BIG WORK SPACE AND END UP WORKING OURSELVES IN TO A TEENY TINY SPOT TO WHEN WE'RE DONE??? Does ANYBODY out there have any idea why that it?? I REALLY need the answer! Ha! Ha!

Off to move my sprinkler... we have had NO RAIN in sooooo long that we have to water our plants daily to keep them alive! Please pray for rain for Arkansas... as well as other drought stricken states.

Have a great day!
....and Happy Scrappin'
