EMM CROP

Had a lovely time last night at the EMM Crop with Jo & Andrea. Was nice to catch up with Carol-Lea Morgan as well and met some really nice ladies too. Got a heap of stuff done (which is unusual as usually find I'm scrap blocked at these things).

Only 14 more sleeps until Mum & I go on the SAM scrapbooking cruise. The tickets arrived on Friday so now it feels real and I'm really excited. Just looking at the tours to do on shore and making final decisions so I can fax the booking form for that tomorrow. I've finally finished making our tags and badges. I'm really happy with how they've all turned out. I couldn't resist showinf them off at the crop last night and the feedback was very good. I'll take some piccies when it's light tomorrow and upload them. I used the cricut and gee it made it so much easier and quicker to make them. As I had to make 44 tags in total I was so glad I had the cricut.


I love my criut!!!!! I also got three new cartridges as Scrapbooking Emporium had them for sale this week. I hadn't really used the cricut much until I made the tags, but now that I have I can see just how much I can do with it and how much more economical it will be to make my own alphas & embellishments.

As a tool junky (I just love tools) I also managed to buy some new scrapbooking tools to play with this week. First up I got a glass cutting mat and new retractable cutting knife. It's amazing how much easier it is to cut with the glass mat as opposed to using a rubber one. I also got a fiskars hand held craft drill. I was pretty impressed with how easy it is to use and how well it went through some wooden shapes I had. I then managed to get hold of some Basic Grey precision files. These are tiny metal files that will be perfect to fit into intricate chipboard shapes when covering them with paper. Can't wait to try these out.

Well better go The biggest Loser and Grey's Anatomy are on tonight. They ar ethe only TV shows that I watch at the moment.
