Today was the first day of SENZ.... the Scrapbooking Expo NZ. After being cancelled last year due to COVID.... it was great to get back to having a Craft Fair. There weren't as many exhibitors as in the past but I still had a good spend up. My friend Suna and I went together and ended up in the photo that went up on the SENZ Facebook page....
I bought a few things.... some stuff on my list and some not!
I've been wanting to get Tim Holtz's Snarky Cats since last year and finally found them today as well as the Christmas Snarky Cats...and so I made a card.
This was isnpired by a card I saw on Pinterest. I had a lovely piece of foiled paper that was white but I used some dark red inks to blend over it. I stamped the cat onto some Bristol card and use some Zig Markers and added some ink blending around the cat. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of black to imitate Santa's belt. I'm adding this into this month's challege at Christams Kickstart is "Woolly, Fluffy or Furry"
Next Saturday night she is coming for her first sleepover. So looking forward to having her stay.
I'm going to be busy crafting over the next little while after this big haul.

oh how fun going to a craft fair must have been - and what a haul!! love that snarky cat too. and enjoy your time with Grace - they grow up so fast - my granddaughter, Katie from England, is coming to visit before she starts university in Florida - can't wait to see her!!
Wow Dawn what a fabulous crafty haul, wish the craft fairs would start here again soon, its much more fun than buying online. Love your Snarky cat card, such fun.
Darling Santa kitty card (looks so guilty, doesn't he?!). Luckily you to go to an expo - love all your picks!! And isn't Grace a cutie - she'll be making cards before you know it!!
Looks like you have found lots of interesting things to have a play with. I decided not to go to SENZ this year and I'm glad that I didn't as it is raining heavily here today and I would have hated the drive. Looking forward to seeing your creations with your new haul.
Like your first card - the santa belt is a great idea and including the sentiment on it makes everything co-hesive. Poor kitty looks like he is worried he'll be on the naughty list.
WOW - that was a great haul Dawn - I will be heading to FYI again this year, hopefully you will get there too. I sometimes get across to Morrinsville and can shop there at Imagine If - always fun, but not always good for the budget...
Love your card - the expression on that cat is priceless.
Stay safe
Blessings

It's been so long since I got to go to a craft fair--lucky you! I know you'll be having lots of fun with all those goodies! Can't believe how grown up Grace looks! I know the sleepover will be such fun for all of you!
