I am a bit lost

Blog no 2 and I haven't quite got the hang of this yet!
I have been making a card to send to a fellow crafter in Spain. I picked up a few things at a boot sale today-glossy paper (£2 for 200 sheets) some gems and a butterfly stamp. I have got quite a lot of things this way so fellow crafters keep a look out. I am collecting Glimmer Mists and Elusive Images rubber stamps which I buy on line from my favourite craft sites-Joanna Sheen and Graphicus. I am just going to have a go at simple parchment craft using Wendy Walters FX stamps. It is not as complicated as traditional PC but looks very effective.
More to follow.

My First Blog

14th June 2008
I am new to this but I have just taken the plunge.
I am an enthusiastic crafter-especially papercrafts and cardmaking. I like using inks and stamps to create my own backgrounds ( I can't make myself cut into pre printed papers and have a huge collection of pristine sheets-especially Anna Griffin papers) Printing my own papers from CDs has also helped. I had no idea how versatile stamps could be but I am now a convert. I tend to have more image stamps than text ones as I usually print my words on the PC.
