I have been absent for a few days with sore throat and now a cold so haven't felt like crafting :(
However I have had a fabulous weekend - yesterday I went to Exeter WestPoint craft show which was fabulous! Jenny Mayes from Hobby Art was there. I first saw Jenny on Create and Craft along time ago and then I saw her at Japonica craft shop in Exmouth. Her stamps are fabulous and she is so enthusiastic, talented and very helpful. So I bought some of her new stamp sets which I'm sure you will see shortly.
Inkylicious was also there so I bought some more of those stamps and will have another go at using their ink dusters, so watch this space!
It is brilliant for inspiration going to a craft show but also frustrating when they make it look so easy!
Today I went out for lunch with hubby and youngest son for a triple celebration - mine and hubbies birthdays are in January and we also celebrated my youngest son getting his English language exam results - A STAR!!!!! Super proud of him and now he doesn't have to resit that exam in the future as you can't get any higher than that!
On to today's share:
Items used:
Penny Black 'Caroling Duck!'
ProMarkers
Kaisercraft Christmas papers

I know what you mean with the people at the shows making it look so easy! Sweet little duck card and I like the little "fa la la" greeting to go with it.
ReplyDeleteah, cute! I can see the sparkle which looks great and the gloss. I love the bows, especially the gold one on the little star. Happy birthday, congratulations and feel better soon. Thank you so much for playing along with us this month at penny black and more.
