007: Almost ready!

My fingers are itching to start making cards but i am still waiting for a few basic items to turn up.

For Christmas i got a cuttlebug (a pink one no less!) that came as part of a deal with some papers and embossing folders. I also got a couple of Martha Stewart punches.

Seperate to that i've treated myself to a full set of promarkers, and can't wait for them to arrive so i can start experimenting with them. I'm also waiting for the Martha Stewart Cherish punch around the page set that i've ordered and i have a few stamps and stuff coming too. Everything just seems so delayed right now!

It's my little brother's birthday on Wednesday so i want the stuff to turn up before then, i have an idea for a card for him and i really want to make it. Here's to hoping my stuff turns up in time

006: Craft supplies

I am so desperate to start making cards properly but as i am new to it, i am trying to hold off until i have bought all the basics first. It's really hard as i have so little self control! I decided to share some pictures of what i have bought so far, but there is so much more i want to buy. I have asked for a cuttlebug for Christmas so at the moment i am saving to buy one of the larger packs of promarkers for colouring in stamped images. Of course i need to buy some stamps too as well as punches, backing papers, inkpads, embellishments, the list go on lol. I have no idea which are the best things to buy first.

Well anyway, here is what i have so far :)



Most of the stuff in this picture is from www.craftsuperstore.co.uk The acrylic blocks are from www.createandcraft.tv i bought those to go with all the clear stamps i plan on buying. In case it isn't obvious i'm rather partial to the colour pink.



I have also bought a pack of 100 white card blanks and envelopes, again from www.craftsuperstore.co.uk



I couldn't resist this ribbon box from paper-and-string. They are really beautiful ribbons



I got these two cd roms from www.createandcraft.tv i couldn't resist the forever friends one and the artwork on the Enchanted one is just amazing. I also have a couple of my craft studio cd roms, but i seem to have forgetten where i put them so no picture of those



This last picture is of a large pile of different coloured 12 x 12 card stock i bought a couple of years ago and have never used. I bought it from a local shop, so no website, but i think the make is papermania. There are lots of different beautiful colours in the pack. I especially love the pale yellow and lilac colours
