VISIT TO D.B. STUDIO











Today I went to the Dawn Bibby studio as there was a mini demo weekend, it was fairly quiet and Dawn wasn't there as she was under the weather. Anyway the reason I went was to watch the very talented and lovely lady Lindsay Mason, we swapped atc's and Lindsay very kindly showed us how to use distress Inks, well guess what, I'm hooked! Sadly I only got 2 colours as stocks were low, but I shall be buying more! I made a couple of cards with them, the 1st one I panicked and it's not quite how it should be, the owl should be further down, but hey ho, it was my 1st attempt. The second although rather greeny is much better and has boosted my confidence to try more. There's a few photos here including the atc's I swapped with Lindsay. I also bought Lindsay's book which she kindly signed for me.

1st attempt at distress inking!

LOTS ON MY CRAFT CALENDER!

I love this time of year, when July is nearly over and we are nearer to my beloved Autumn, on the 1st and 2nd of August I shall be heading over to Dawn Bibby studios in oswaltwistle for the craft demo weekend, it's always a hight kight of the year for me.
On saturday the 15th I shall pop in at Portfolio arts and crafts for a jewellery Demo, then the biggy on Sept will be the stitch and craft show at Manchester Central, I shall probably go by myself as I can pick and choose how I go about my day, I might pop into Afflecks for some beads, might pop into primark to see what they have on sale for autumn, wow I can't wait!
