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

Daisy, Daisy

 

These lovely bright daisy papers were free with issue 94 of Creative Stamping Magazine - along with a fab set of Garden Gnomes stamps!

They were cheery cards to make on a wet and miserable day!

Daisy card

Today's card matches up some new paper from Making Cards Magazine with some very old die cut daisies that having been hanging around for ages.

I went to a table top sale today and picked up several packets of foam pads and 2 large reels of double sided tape for 50p the lot - bargain!! 

Daisy & Dandelion Cards

This months edition of Simply Cards and Papercraft has a pad of  20 free Dandelion & Daisy images. They are not really my cup of tea, but I thought I would have a go and use them to make more cards for the Cancer Campaign charity (see previous post).

I just bought some Spectrum Noir pens, so it seemed a good excuse to use them too!

I thought I would also  *cough*  modestly mention that a card of mine is featured in the same mag to celebrate their 100 issue. I always get a bit of a thrill to see my name in print. It's the closest I will get to being famous!
