Stamping and punching were my first two loves when I started cardmaking in this country back in 2002. And even though many consider me as a die cutting specialist, I love stamping and punching just as much.
That is why I am really excited when I am asked to do demos or classes that involve stamping, like the demo at Stamp Addicts on Saturday in which I demoed Ranger products, distress inks and crackle paint among them featured in this card.
I enjoyed the demo so much, not only because of the products I was using, but more importantly because of the people I got to meet in real life. From Sarah and Vicky to Janey Pye, Dawn Inskip, Julie and Jo and everyone else whose name I have -I am afraid- already forgotten. I do have the worst memory for names, big apologies!
In other news, wasnt this the most glorious weekend weather? I mean, it was perfectly hot and sunny and... perfect, not too hot. We had a barbeque yesterday in our garden which was great until we tried to play twister and let me tell you late thirties bodies are not meant for twister!
