My favorite stuff at the moment, that I'm absolutely in love with, is the Laser cut Chipboard & Card stock available at
. When I get some time I'll put up some photo's of the laser cut chipboard & cardstock that has made me more of a shopaholic than i normally am. It is absolutely amazing & every new piece i see inspires me to buy it because its new & I love new, different products. But when am i gonna have the time to scrap all the stuff I'm buying? Although, you can never have too much stash! LOL. Even with all the stash I have I find theres always something that i want that I don't have. Its just never ending.
Ive been buying scrapping goodies for about 3yrs now & basically wanted to scrap to deal with the loss of a very loved cat (Dawson) who was like my other half to me. Some of the stuff I bought at the start- Geez, I don't know what I was thinking then. I didn't start scrapping til about a year after that when I signed up for classes at Coastal Scrapbooking in Mandurah and started doing Layouts once a week there for about 4 - 5 months until it closed. I made some beautiful, stunning Layouts there in the classes with Deb Hitchcock who is so talented & I learnt how to do all the basic things & some fantastic techniques. I stopped scrapping when the shop shut as i still had no idea how to make/ come up with a layout of my own. I did have a couple of sad attempts that were nowhere near as good as debs Layoouts so I gave up. Maybe the creative juices couldn't flow with all the stress i was under but thats when you need to scrap more.
I continued to buy scrapping goodies but & then learnt how to knit & started knitting over the winter. Made some nice stuff that i gave to my mum.
During an E-Bay buying session about 8 months ago I ran into a fellow scrapper called Jen (proud owner of The Dusty Attic) who lived not too far away & was having weekly scrapping sessions. She asked if Id like to come & scrap & Lo & behold a few people who used to scrap at the old Mandurah shop scrapped there too & Ive been religiously going there every Wednesday ever since (Providing the schoolbus doesnt break down). I have learnt a fair bit more since going there & all of the scrap Layouts that Jen comes up with every week are absolutely stunning. I love going there as it's my one time in the week where I can scrap & not get distracted by anything else (except the gorgeous Laser cut chipboard/Card stock designs she comes up with weekly. Of course, we all put in our own orders every week that she cuts to whatever we want- She is a LEGEND.) except all of us girls cracking funny jokes & laughing our heads off makes me one of the slowest to finish. It is the one day of the week that I get upset if I cant get there as i love the laughter & jokes & good times we have & it makes me so happy for the rest of the week.
Head over & check out all the gorgeous stuff at
. You won't be disappointed.
