What have I achieved this weekend? Very little it seems! A house full of children as we had friends in for sleepovers both Friday and Saturday night. Along with a friend and her beautiful baby Ellie went into town for a stamping demo on Saturday. Did really, really well – didn’t buy a single stamp. Probably due more to the fact that there was no single stamps for sale rather than my shopping restraint! If I had wanted to buy any stamps I would have had to order an entire pack of 6 or more. A costly exercise and I know I wouldn’t use all the stamps in any given pack.
Nippers club championships today between showers, high seas and events cancelled due to the poor conditions. Fortunately I was helping with recording so I was able to sit in a tent out of the rain – much more preferable than standing on the beach getting soaked and wind swept.
Spent the afternoon scrapping; wet and windy weather was the perfect excuse. Caught up on recipe cards and Easter ATCs for swaps. Had the pleasure of playing with a wonderful array of goodies from ScrapaWhile! Beautiful embellishments, some great new patterned papers and the latest release core colour cardstock.
The Core’dinations cardstock is amazing! It looks like Bazzill Linen, has a very similar texture, but the outside layer can be sanded, torn or heavily creased to reveal another colour underneath. I tried the mid blue (sorry, don’t know its product name) which showed through a much lighter blue. Used the smallest file in the Basic Grey tool kit to distress the edges of the page and also to mark out the semi circle for hand stitching. Hasn’t come up well in the scan, I’ll attempt to take a close up photo so you the difference in the colours can be seen more clearly. This has got to be my newest, favourite product - gotta have the entire range now I’ve tried it. That’s just who I am – an all or nothing kinda girl.
