Hi there! Hope you're all having a lovely weekend, it feels so strange when the clocks go forward, doesn't it?I had a fantastic day at the NEC yesterday and it was such a lovely experience, meeting so many lovely bloggers for the first time and stocking up on some gorgeous new stash! I had a brilliant time and thank you to all the lovely people I met who made it so special, I'll definitely be coming to the next one in November, hee hee! :)
I couldn't resist getting out my new stash and making a card with it! Everything on this card is new, apart from the Sizzix die for the corners, which I borrowed off my mum. I'm really pleased with this card and I think I'm going to give it to my soon-to-be step-grandma, whose birthday is coming up in April.
I am entering this card into a challenge I just discovered, called Crafty Catz. Their theme for this week is 'white and one other colour', how convenient is that?! I was planning to make a white and pink card last night and this is the perfect challenge to enter it into! :)
Materials:
Image: Magnolia (given to me by the lovely Chris!)
Paper: Not sure, but from the NEC!
Roses: Magnolia
Glimmer Mist: Marshmallow
Glass Beads: From my new stash!
Doily: From my new stash!
Pearls: From my new stash!
Colouring: Pro Markers
I really enjoyed making this card and I loved using my new things!
Here's a picture of all my new stuff! I didn't really have anything specific in mind that I wanted to get, but I definitely wanted to stock up on some more flowers and embellishments, which is exactly what I did! :)
I also wanted to show you this bag I bought while I was there, great isn't it?! :)
Finally, here are a few pictures of the blogging people me and my mum met up with.
Sorry for the extremely long post! :)
Mum and Jo
