A Grand Day Out!

Well, I managed to add to my stash stack at Stevenage today (as if you thought I wouldn't!)

Hmmmm. Just a bit then! All 3 new Hotpicks sets from Paperartsy. Couple more Paperartsy dies, some more "goop" (Inka gold paint) some boxes and things to alter, the spools kit I really wanted (I nearly forgot to pick this up, lol!) 

A closer look at the "altering" things - a great little canvas, a gorgeous wooden box with a loose lid (IF I was clever enough, I could probably make this hinge-able but I'm not, so loose lidded it will stay!) The white boxes are stacked - like those Russian dolls (I always wanted some of them when I was little!) so there are ever smaller ones inside, and some corrugated cardboard.

A better look at the stamps'n'stuff!

Lin was doing some fabulous work - and giving it away! Here is the one she made me - and below is my version that I made when I got home.

You can't see the middle flower on mine so well, but it's done with one of the new Paperartsy grunge flower stamps!   

The flower shows up better here but the rest of it's bleached out - you can't win!

I also realised I need some more of the Ten Second Studio moulds with some different patterns as this one isn't right but it was the best I had!  Oh well, it's Ally Pally soon (already got my ticket....)

 

 I was also VERY lucky to swap an ATC with Hels' (she definately got the short end of the straw with mine though, how FAB is this ATC?)

and Linda E was there too - and had this belated beer mat instead of a birthday card for me!

Thanks to you all, I am so happy with all of these pieces!
