It's time for a Craft Fair!

Today is a public holiday here in NZ - to celebrate Matariki - the Maori New Year - rising of the stars of Matariki (also known as Pleidies) and it was day 1 of SENZ - the big craft extravaganza.   My friend Suna, and I headed off to have some fun.  We had booked a class - with Scrapbook Central - using some Celebr8 chipboard leaves.... and both had lists to fulfill.  I got everything on my list - (and more!!!)

Quite the haul - including the new Waffleflower sticky mats! - both in the Misti and Mini Misti sizes. And the new Waffleflower Postage die and the matching Xmas sentiments.  Rosie's Studio had a free stamp and die for VIP entry - which we were... and $2 stamps and mini dies.  Of course after class I had to get another set of the chipboard leaves 

Here's what we made at the class

A big thanks to Chick Mitchell and Scrapbook Central.   It's an awesome design - and Chick showed us how to emboss with the chipboard before snipping it apart.   And there was a bonus instruction sheet for another technique.   When I got home I used the new sheet of leaves to emboss a few panels of different coloured card before doing some inking.  So a few backgrounds to use. 

And tomorrow I back off to do another class - this time with Krafter's Cart and using some Pinkfresh Studio washi and dies.... can't wait.   Now to find time over the next two weeks till I head off to Perth, to do some playing.
