wiseheartOr is there? I'm sure my fellow paper crafters would agree.
In any case, I had to go to the Auchan supermarket today - an undertaking for its own - and I discovered, to my great delight, that their craft supply section had Stamperia scrapbook paper again. On sale. Needless to say that I grabbed one sheet of each, even of those I knew I already had at home. They are double-faced, after all, and this way I can use both sides, eventually. Yay!
So, I started with the Azulejos de Sueno mini-block, consisting of 10 double-faced sheets of 8x8 inch. This was not on sale, but since I got the rest for a third of their original price, I thought I could afford to indulge. See for yourself:
Then I grabbed this one with the vintage tags; this is one I had once already, but you can never have enough tags, can you? Besides, I've already used up sone of the original batch, so naturally, I needed replacements. Right?
This one I call the Autumn lace because - well, because it looks like lacework and apparently is part of their Autumn and Winter block:
And though I generally don't like blue, especially baby blue, these white flowers on a blue background were just too pretty to leave them behind:
This one is an interesting pattern: basically the same on both sides, just one side is red and the other side is blue. I think I had one of these once, but it's gone now, and I'm glad to have found another one.
An abundance of roses; the colours are actually a bit more vivid in real life - I found the picture on the Internet. Apparently, I'm not the only one who lacks photographing skills, but since these 30cm x 30 cm sheets are too big for my scanner, I had to find other means to show my treasures off.
The other sheets are duplicates I've already had in storage and posted pictures about earlier. Newcomers can admire them here; they have their own section on my Pinterest board.
Other than that, not much happened today. We ate leftovers (what a surprise), I had a veritable mountain of washing-up to do (the disadvantage of eating leftovers), and we're now waiting for the janitor to take a look at the leaking kitchen sink. Household appliances are a source of never-ending joy and excitement. [/sarcasm]
