Last week I went to the Stitch & Creative Craft show and bought more Christmas papers, stamps, and other bits. They were bargain prices so how could I not?! There were some lovely pink papers and brads so they will add a change to my colour scheme which has so far been fairly traditional. I've just noticed bright pink on one of my Christmas album pages (see photo above) so perhaps it's not so traditional after all!
Here are some of the things I bought. Some Spellbinder dies for my Hot Shot which I will be using lots this weekend, and I especially love the fabric 'Bloomers' made by Websters Pages. I've hankered for these for a long time but thought I try and make my own. As often the case there has not been the time so I hankered no more! I just need to make sure I use them and not just admire. I also bought more paper flowers to add to my collection, and some gorgous papers which are also Websters Pages. These are double sided and at 50p a sheet how could I resist? I'm just surprised I didn't buy more.
One of the other things I bought are Decopatch tissue papers. I already had a stock (far more than I realised actually) but couldn not resist the beautiful colours and designs. I bought some fibreboard shapes to cover and started today thinking this would be quick and easy. Little did I reckon on the gecko's fiddly feet!! I had planned to make this as a gift, but as it should have been posted on Monday I may have to rethink my plan.
My postings seem less frequent lately as I have been busy and work remains a preoccupation. Hopefully things will settle a little from here on and I have some annual leave due next week. Yay!! The car is booked in for it's overdue service, hair cut booked, and I have lots to do at home to catch up. But I plan to see friends and have time with my granddaughters on Monday. Lovely!!
Best get on with the packing......
