Stash Shopping and Having Fun

I had a greta day at Ally pally yesterday, albeit a long one!

Since this blog promises to show you stash shopping as well as projects, here are some piccies of my lovley stash!

Papers from Crate Paper and Zoe Love Elsie (only the one sheet though!!)
Stamps from Little Claire

Clarity Stamps - a wonderful oriental branch and some trees. Thanks to Monica and Dan 99 for showcasing the same or similar stamps and creating a need for these babies!!

Cupcake cards, ruffles and ribbons from Craftwork Cards. This retailer was one of the first ever people I bought from on line and they still have super fab and groovy card making products.


Am I the only crafter in the UK to have a thing for ornamental chair stamps??? Also fell in love with these lush Stickles and ickle Imaginice stamp.

Ribbon, a cute monkey stamp, ribbon buckles and more little stamps. Well it was a stamp show you know!!

Diamond glaze, green stickles and some lovely Brilliance sparkly inks.

My Favourite Things stamps c/o Sir Stampalot ( what a fine stand you had! I wanted EVERYTHING!), Craftwork Cards sparkly papers and a sheet of EZ mount (in anticipation of the Magnolia Stamp Club).

Cheap Thickers in black and not so cheap Nestabilities but I wanted the rectangular sets VERY MUCH!!

What I really wanted - the New SHIMELLE designed Banana Frog stamps .... mmmm yummy. I got Greenwich park, Backgrounds and paperchains. In English, the one with the deer and hedgehogs, the wooden backgrounds and the bunting!

I also did a Banana Frog class and met Bev (thanks for having your photo done with me!!) THe class was a great mini book, got an extra set of stamps in the class and a free ring and sweeties to take home along with a 10% discount voucher!

What a great day. Thanks to Nic for driving and looking forward to September already!!
