Japanese Dreams - Creative Stamping Mag

 

I couldn't resist picking up this copy of Creative Stamping mag on a trip to Hobbycraft - it was the Koi Carp and the Good Luck Japanese Character that appealed to me.

So, of course, the first cards I made with the set featured them. The coin with the hole in the middle I have had in my stash for years!

Next I'm going to try out the Mount Fuji Scene and the paper lanterns

Charity Shop Bargains

 

Somebody must have been having a big clear out of their craft room as there was a large pile of brand new, unused card making stuff at my local charity shop when I popped in last.

There was a lot of Hunkdory items -books of  toppers, card making packs, sheets of sentiments as well as paper pads and die cuts.

I spent £15 and picked up a lot of  bits to keep me busy for quite a while - and left some for other crafters to enjoy too!
