I am now known by the people at the scrapbooking shop by name!

Monday monday! At my day job today I was speaking to someone and we decided that it was a real 'monday' Monday! You know that feeling when you weren't quite ready for the week to start and that you had of had an extra day at home!

My weekend was great - lots of scrapping with my favourite Tittastic Scrappers, the fab group of ladies that I craft with on a regular basis. One of my scrapping friends, Liv, has started a blog - A Little Bit of Green Sunshine - so make sure that you go and check it out! Liv would have to be one of the things in my life that make my days easier and bring a smile to my face! She is a true inspiration, a brilliant mother and a fab crafter so head on over to her blog and show her some love!

So, what creations have been part of the last week you ask? Well even if you weren't asking, I'm going to tell you! So there!

Most of you know that Cards by Lauren sells custom creations - in fact the last fortnight has been full of creating - most of them from my lovely colleagues at my day job - but I also create invitations. If you are interested in having some invites, even styling and general advice feel free to email me or drop me a comment. Here is a samples of some invite display items that I created during the week. Gotta love the gorgeousness that is Christina Re products!

Loads of custom card creations this week plus some new cards for the Made It shop which will go online some time this week. I've also been experimenting with making brooches with paper punches, glossy accents and a pin and glue. Pics to come. I am thinking about selling them with matching cards for a nice little gift idea.

I bought some super cute paper with kokeshi (kimmi) dolls on them at the Picture to Page show last weekend - so I have made a series of cards. What do you think?

This week I also visited my favourite scrapping shop - Paper 2 in Mornington. I am now on a first name basis with the lovely ladies that work there. I don't know if that is great or incredibly depressing that I spend so much money in the store! They recently ordered in for me the Rocket Age collection from October Afternoon, so I will be posted some pics of my creation in the next few days. In fact - I might start making some things now!

Enjoy the week! xx
