A while back I went to a scrapbook and stamp fair and bought some stuff. Or a lot of stuff (hence the yarn purchase ban). I mainly bought stamps and ink to colour paper. This is what I’ve done so far:

It’s not too difficult and quite quick, but I think I’ll need a bit moore practise before going ahead with the scrapbook project which it is intended for.
Five Fridays in a row abroad! It was great both in California and in France but it sure is nice being home again. There’s not much to show on the knitting front. I have been knitting but since I’ve had startitis there’s been knitting on too many fronts to have any progress to show. So, I’ve decided to try and only knit on things I’ve already started. Shouldn’t be a problem….there’s plenty to choose from.
Alongside the startitis I’ve also been very materialistic as of late. Seen in the picture below is my new spindle. It’s a Kundert spindle bought from Spinspiration, together with some wool (don’t remember what it is …). I’ve also joined the fiber club for June to August. Can’t wait to get the fibers!
Tomorrow is my grandmother’s 80th birthday. I made her a necklace. It’s Manganum from Panduro. I also bought an embossing ink pad and some stamps with flowers to make a card. The card is made with chalks on the motif stamped with the embossing ink.
There was a scrapbook and stamp fair in town this weekend. I went on Saturday for a couple of hours. The place was packed with people. One of the exhibitors, Kortmakaren, had demos during the day where you could try out different techniques. It was really fun. I tried embossing (white tag with pink flower), DTP-technique or direct to paper (purple with black motifs) and last it was dry chalks (blue butterflies).
I bought some stuff for paper cutting so I can start my scrapbook album.
The theme for the album is already set. Want to give a guess?
