You all know I've been in a spendy phase, right? err....
the top 3 are by France Papillon (I've got the small version of the circles already, but fancied the bigger ones too.)
the bottom three are from the Crafters Workshop - they keep on releasing fab new stencils!
the tree, in the middle I blame on You-Tube...
these papers arrived today
10 double sided sheets of gorgeousness - plus the backs of the front and back covers.
sorry about the glare from the light! I didn't want to take them out of the packet.
it's a set called Mechanical Fantasy.
I did a little more faffing with the A3 sheet that is currently a bit like a masterboard...
some white to make it pop, some more stamping,
it still isn't done as a background, it needs some black I feel.
May not use it for die cuts now, may use it in journals, or some of it.
I also flipped it over to dry it from the back too, I like the back as well!
so, that's me. what have you been up to this week? I'll drop by when I can (after work unless you're a real early bird!)

Morning Helen. I am loving that master board. I would definitely get some card fronts and tags out of that! Happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
Happy WOYWW. I love those new stencils. I used to have similar circles - and they were very useful. Carry on enjoying adding to your paint splatters! Ali x #9
Very nice new stash Helen, Stencils are irresistible as they take up no room at all. Love that master board. Sometimes it's just nice to embrace the patterns and shapes created and not cut into it at all. Just enjoy playing with them!
Happy WoywW Hugs Tracey #7
Hi Helen. Nice collection of new goodies. Look forward to seeing how you use the Masterboard cos I love it but then sure you knew I would. Happy woyww, Angela x11x
You've got some useful new stash there, I do really love the tree stencil, I bet you'll use that loads. The masterboards are fun too, it'll be interesting to see how you chop 'em up and use them!

Fab new stash there and I love the masterboards....when I first looked at the first one I thought it was an ilustrated map [and yes I do have new glasses lol].
Hugs,

Sorry, did I miss the week you weren't in a spendy mode? Good morning to one of my favourite enablers, you just know I am going straight to look up all those yummy products.... Love your 'masterboard'. When will you know it's finished? Really need to get to grips with those oxides. Mine are staring at me reproachfully....Happy WOYWW, Cindy #15
wow, I love those oxide ink drips! I purchased a few colors but haven't played much with them yet. You have inspired me! Happy WOYWW!!
Such cool backgrounds and I'll have to check out those papers! Those crafty newsletters can be lethal to your bank account LOL - still, we don't want to miss a good deal, do we? Have fun playing with your new goodies! zsuzsa #22
Hi Helen, loving that masterboard.And what a fab bunch of stencils! I particularly like the tree too. The mop up page is coming along nicely. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #10 X
Ooh what fabulous stash, like Shaz I love that tree stencil. The masterboard is looking great, and yes I love the back too, what a shame it's an either/or situation! Your new stencils are looking good in the journal, hope you have lots more fun trying out the rest of them this week,
Have a good one,

Hi Helen, nice goodies,I've had quite a spending spree too over last couple of weeks. One day I might decide I have enough crafty stuff! Thanks for stopping by earlier, and have a lovely week Heather x #32
Hi Helen, it looks like they will all be put to good use your stencils. ( I probably should get more of them, it seems like every time there is a cool looking stencil challenge I do not seem to have the right kind for the technique haha) :) love the backgrounds too, ~Stacy #27
Hi Helen, stencils really are trendy at the moment aren’t they??? Love the tree so understand why you were tempted, also love your masterboard it just gorgeous, love layer building!

Good morning, Helen. Thank you for popping by yesterday. Love seeing you. Looks as if you've been busy.. both buying an creating. What fun! Love the mop up colors. Creative Blessings! Kelly #26
Is that a butterfly stencil on the bottom? Great purchases and share. I find inspiration on YouTube also!! Not to mention Pinterest and Instagram!!
Thanks for the visit yesterday!!
Happy WOYWW!

How do you know it needs some black? I would instantly say that black would make a great final colour for text, but not really sure if I could add it as another background colour. We are wired sooo differently! and then similarly... I really like the middle of the FP stencils, that’s uneven plaid really appeals to me. And the text one, but I think that’s a given by now! I very nearly choked on my coffee when I read about the pack of papers. You don’t want to open them.....does that mean itkl be an age before you actually use them. The idea of that makes me feel like a savage - I do so much scrapbooking these days that I barely get new papers out of the bag before I’m using them!!
Hi Helen! Great post today, love the stencils, especially the Balzer words one, will have to look for that one! And all the distress spatters - awesome! Thanks for your visit, and have a great week, Lindart #25
First of all, thanks for linking me Helen.
Wow, what a lot of lovely spending. Some gorgeous stencils there - I do like stencils but I don't feel I use them enough. I think if I had a bigger room and a dedicated corner to squirt inks I would get more out out them - but them I am not that good with spraying so maybe not.
Like the masterboard and the journal pages - I love your backgrounds.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx
Ooh, scrumptious stencils. I'm definitely envious of the France Papillon ones - those circles were out of stock by the time I got there. And the Stamperia papers look great too. The layers of your Oxide splatter close-up are simply amazing. I can see why you don't want to cut it up.
