Trying to Be A Stamper

Well after another one of my loooong absences - I am back!

Lots of stuff has happened since I last wrote my blog but I won't bore you with the details. I want to write about rubber stamps.

I am a BIG fan of rubber stamps and associated stash but I just can't get my head round using them. I see a stamp in a shop and think "woooaaaaahhh I gotta have it" and then all the ideas I had for using it evaporate when I get home. It's bizarre.

So I have decided to "focus" and get myself into stamping, I was in Harrogate for the CraftWork Cards Papercraft Extravaganza and had a fab time last Sunday. I took my Mum and although we only had 2 hours to whizz round I still managed to spend money!! I visited the scrummy Craftwork Cards stall and bought loads of stuff. I chatted to Julie Hickey who said lovely things about my work and I blushed to the roots of my hair!!!

I also meandered over to the Art from The Heart stall,oohhhhhhhhhh just SCRUMMY. I have never really been into their Blonde Moments designs but once I saw what they had done with them I was in "lurve". I also watched a demo by one of their team using Distress Inks and PaperArtsy stamps - I was hooked! So I am hoping to get cracking with some stamping, as I write this I am watching my Tim Holtz DVD.............very inspiring. If I manage to do some stuff I'll get some pics and upload them.

My craft room hasn't progressed much either, I am useless!!! We have to track down a plasterer, so it could take a while.

Sarah and Kirsty have been having fun at the Emily Falconbridge workshop this weekend I am dying to see how they got on so I better hop on over to Kirstys Blog.............
