Simon Says 'March' Card Kit + Craft Room Update :-)

Hi all :-) The March Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp landed on my doorstep a few days ago and as I have been decorating and fixing up my craft room my desk has been out of action. I finally managed to clear an area, so I opened the kit, WOW ,,, LOVE this one !! I always enjoy the lollipop while perusing the contents and thinking about what I will make first ,,,, :-) 

This months flavour was Strawberry Splash ,, yummy,,, but my fave is the Blueberry one :-)


Apologies for the photography, it is a grim miserable day and the lighting was terrible.
I followed this weeks fab sketch on the Splitcoast Stampers Site :-) Everything I used was in the kit with the exception of the googly eyes,,, I couldn't resist adding those :-)

And this is the kit !! Isn't it GORGEOUSSSS :-) I love the stamp set and the bright cheerful papers and cardstock :-)


Would you like to see my craft room ? It isn't quite finished as some cupboards were out of stock so I have to wait for them to be delivered next week, but I am really happy with how it is coming along :-) Please excuse the tin of paint in the corner :-)



Challenges :
CMD ,,, Colourful Rainbow
Stampin Royalty ,,,, CAS
4 Crafty Girls,,, Anything Goes



Hope you all have a great week :-)
Happy Crafting
