So this is 'blogging', well hopefully no one will be injured in the making of this production, or be bored to tears.
Last night was 'crop' night in the shop, eight wonderful girlies/ladies came and we giggled away the two hours as per usual.
I was trying (that being the word), to demonstrate using Primary Elements on your layouts and cards. Primary elements are made by the same company that do the Twinkiling H2O's, LuminArte. They are a pure mica pigment in powder form, that you mix with one of three 'Simple Solutions', number 2, being the one for working on paper and plastic.
I spent all day making various fantasy effect background papers and then got completely absorbed in card making, nearly forgetting to complete a layout.
When I eventually did put together the layout, I found myself in the middle of a scrap block. My background paper has turned out so beautiful and the chipboard letters are so vibrant, that I felt it would be too much to add more. The girls seemed to think so too, although a treasure chest in the corner was suggested. I will try get round to taking a photo of it and a couple of the cards to upload tomorrow.
Today has consisted of a whirlwind trip to buy beautiful Irish produced yarn. The smell as you walk into the mill is awesome and evoked memories of my dad who would have been in his element. I went a bit wild and bought the yarn in 10 colours, one of which was out of stock and will arrive in a couple of weeks. I shall upload photos of all the scrummy hanks later, needless to say I have been drooling mentally over the projects I could make. However, no longer as optimistic of my time, I did the grown-up thing and bought a jumper to show how it looks when it's knitted up.
Will have to go now, before irate six year old gets worse, dog walking/quad biking calls.
