Yesterday I took the day off work so I could head down to Manukau to attend NZ's biggest scrapbook and papercrafting Expo ~SENZ. It's about a 30km drive to Manukau and I left home around 8.15am expecting it to take me a while with morning traffic, but I am pleased to say, it only took me 35 mins to get there... time to have a Hot Choccie before heading into the stadium. I started by heading to ScrapFX's stall as I want to meet a few ladies I have been chatting on Facebook with. I belong to a Forum of NZ and Australian crafters and was pleased to meet in person with Paula Lynne and Kimi Blundell
From there it was off for a few minutes shopping... got two Hero Arts sets I was after, before heading of to Scottie Crafts workshop to do a class...
This is my frame almost finished. Just needs some PP and a photo. I had so much fun making this.... lots of fun with spellbinders de-lite dies, crackle paint, making our own resin pieces and getting messy in the process
Took some time to get the glue and paint off my hands....
I had around 20 mins to gobble down some lunch before heading to my second class for the day.... a card class with Hastings Rubber Stamps tutor Wilma using Penny Black stamps. But I'll leave that for another post! Three cards made, not without a few drama!!!!
Hope your weekend is going well.... and to my American friends, hope your 4th of July was fun filled and you enjoyed yourselves.
