Hello everyone...hope you all had a good weekend and whatever you did, the sun shone brightly for you!
As some of you know, I went to The Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Show at Ally Pally on Saturday and I don't want to make any of you, who couldn't attend jealous but...it was fabulous!! I managed to catch up and chat with Barbara Gray, and also Julie and Sue from Craftwork Cards. Both of these stands were incredibly busy, as always and you couldn't get near Barbara or Julie, who were both demonstrating new products and old favourites. I also met the lovely Jennie from The Artistic Stamper...if you have a chance, please check out the lovely range of Mabel Lucie Attwell stamps that Jennie sells. They are lovely.
So, after all the excitement of Saturday, yesterday was a quiet day...just me, myself and some alcohol inks and this is what I made...I really hope you like it!
Before I go, once again I was totally overwhelmed by all your wonderful comments on my last post ~ thank you to my friends who have been visiting for a while and also to the new faces that have left their thoughts! Blogland is such a fabulous place to be...and with some of the nicest people I know!!
Well, I'd better get back to the drawing board...I have plenty to keep me busy, including my stash from Ally Pally below!
See you on Wednesday and have a wonderful week!
Love Emma

nice stash! and good to meet you :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, Emma, you failed miserably there. I am jealous - very jealous indeed. All those lovely things to look at and meeting those wonderful people, especially Barbara Gray. Your cards are exccellent
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Emma - such vibrant colours, and I love the flowers sooo much!
ReplyDeleteI bought the Tatty Button stamp with the umbrella from SECC, so cute! My Gran used to have a MLA bathroom poem, and I have cross-stitched the same design! It always brings back very happy memories of visits to Gran & Grandpa's house ;)).
Much love,

Stunning creation again Emma; the sentiment is one I need to remember and those flowers are stunning! I hope you told Barbara to have a word with that presenter on C&C, lol!! Can't wait to see what you make with all that lovely new stash! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely project Emma - love those flowers. Looks like you had a really good spend too - enjoy your new stash.

Your card is fabulous, I love the effects with Alcohol inks, and those butterflies are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave checked out the link for the flower - will give that a go.
Look forward to seeing what you create with all those lovely goodies.

I've just realised I came over to look at this post earlier in the week and was so interested in those flowers I sped off down the link without even leaving you a comment, Emma. How rude am I!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the alcohol ink on the embossing, it's so vibrant and that flower as you say is gorgeous. I struggled with it to start with but with a bit of help from my dear other half i soon got it sorted.
Thanks so much for joining us at The Stampman this time too.

What a fabulous card Emma, I love the vibrant colours of the alcohol inks, the flowers and butterflies. It fits perfectly with our embossing challenge at The Stamp Man, thanks for taking part and sharing it with us.
