Ciao Bella Seventies Junk Journal Book

 

On my last trip to Craftmania in May I bought the Afternoon Tea Junk Journal by Ciao Bella, which I have used quite a lot, so this time I bought another  - the Seventies.

It's full of cool, retro images with a strong music vibe - LP covers, cassettes, sheet music, acoustic guitars etc

Ideal to make some quirky, vintage style birthday cards

Next going to work on a scrapbook page with some old photos from that decade.

Another Trip to Craftmania, Norfolk.

 

As my daughter wanted another trip to Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park in Lowestoft last weekend, I had another chance to visit Craftmania, which is nearby in Gt Yarmouth. This time I decided to stock up on some Christmas goodies. I can highly recommend a visit if you are in the area, don't be put off that it is on an industrial estate, it just means the shop is soo much larger and the parking is free!

They have a really wide selection of Hunkydory, as well as lots of other makes. This time I took my list of Versa Fine Clair ink pads, so I could buy up some of the missing colours.

And this is the first card that I made using one of the Hunkydory Daisy Days Pocket pad images

Variety

 

I bought a pack of 40 cards & envelopes, thinking they were folded cards, but upon opening, discovered they were just single sheets, so I have had to be inventive to utilise them as background papers for birthday cards 

So I have used dogs & cats - plus the Temu toppers to make the most of the floral backgrounds

.........still got lots left to use up though!
