Stamp Addicts Open Day - Saturday 17 October 2009

(This is the card I took to show Jennie as I had used alcohol inks and distress embossing powder on it which I had learnt at the Stamp Addicts Open Day in May 2009)

I was lucky to be able to go to the Stamp Addicts Open Day today. It's a nice shop to visit anyway but when they have an Open Day it is even better. I bought some new goodies to try out including a brayer which I have wanted for months. My mum, friend and myself also watched some lovely demonstrations including stamping, use of embossing paste, Walnut Hollow metal work (that was interesting to watch) and making flowers out of grunge paper.

As we were going I spoke to Jennie (The Artistic Stamper) and showed her the halloween card I made after seeing her demonstration back in May at Stamp Addicts. It was nice to see her again and she her demo with the grunge paper flower which you can all see for yourself on her blog here.

Thank you to Sarah and Vicky for arranging the Open Day and for all the demonstrators giving up their time to encourage us all in our crafting.
