A fabulous day at Artstamps Newbury!

Hello Everyone! My very busy weekend is drawing to an end. I had a lovely day on Saturday catching up with old Friends and woke up today feeling a bit worse for wear but managed to pull myself together and go to the Newbury Craft Show. I had booked a place on the Barbara Gray Clarity stamps workshop as I have been wanting to learn how to brayer for years and always been too scared to try. The two hour Workshop was simply fabulous! Barbara is an amazing teacher and we learnt so much. We created the artwork below and learnt several techniques which I can't wait to try again.


I met up with the lovely Kitty and we did a bit of shopping, well I did quite a lot of shopping actually! This is what I came home with. Lots of lovely new goodies to play with! I loved the new Stamposaurus stamps and I bought some new papers and a few embellishments which will eventually be used in some 3d projects I will be tackling soon.


I signed up for the Craft Stamper mag subscription and got a fab pack of Carta Bella papers and a great goody bag full of bits to play with. I now finally own a Brayer too and some inks to get me started, I already want more! I signed up for Barbara's club when I got home too :-) Now I just need to find somewhere for all this to live! I hope you have a lovely evening.
