Well I have taken enough photos to keep you looking at the latest stuff from the UK for a few days, but first, here is my favourite photo - Kiki and Monty who made a flying visit to see us, but left early because Monty really wasn't well at all, poor little chap had a terrible cough, but he managed a smile for me here.......
So yesterday I went to the trade craft fair that we call Stitches - the proper name is Craft Hobby and Stitch International, and it's full of the latest and greatest products in the world of crafting - and not just paper as you will see
My first visit was to see my pal Kath Stewart and drag her away from the Fiskars stand for a coffee.....she spotted this wooden owl, and had to give it a hug, mad as a box of frogs
Here are some of the lovely samples she made for Fiskars, using the fuse.....
en route we called for Nikky Hall of Polkadoodles who is an old mate of ours and swept her and hubby Kris along for a coffee and a chat. Nikky was demoing Graph-it markers and Pan Pastels....
Here are some of the samples on her stand. Swoon, fabulous colouring. After seeing her demos, Pan Pastels are now firmly on my wish list....
Well that's enough for one day, I don't want to send you all into sensory overload! Back with more tomorrow, see you then x
Love all these cards. I love the pretty ladies and those marker colors are really great. The grandchildren are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhat super samples from Kath & Nikki.
ReplyDeletePan Pastels are fabulous Enfys. If you like the type of backgrounds that Barbara Grey creates using a brayer - you can do the same with PPs and they are more 'forgiving'.

Great photos Enfys. Fab cards made with the Fuse and Nicky's colouring is so perfect you would think the designs had been printed. Pat x
