Garage sale finds!

Hello Friends,

How are you all today?

Today hasn't been extremely creative for me but I managed to figure out how to change the font on my blog and add a profile picture to my google+ account, so I guess that counts for something.

I, also, made a quick trip to town to check out a friends table at a community garage sale. She had lots of beautiful paper crafting supplies, and I couldn't resist the urge to shop. It was hard but I limited myself to just 1 shopping bag of oh-so-glorious things. I would imagine the things I picked up are all retired products but I love them anyway. I picked a cute little corner punch to make little rectangular papers into tickets. I can't wait to use it! Also, I picked a few background stamps. One is a word search puzzle. Oh my creative mind is racing with ideas on what to make with that. For instance, it would make the neatest birthday card by circling the words happy & birthday, the month, and if it was for a sister, brother, daughter, son, mom, dad, or friend. Plus there are many, many more words to use like party, wish, shop, greetings, baby, love, kiss, alway........

Hey, look! I added a picture to the blog. Wow! Look at me learning. Lol!

I also picked up some QuicKutz alphabet sets. I love those. Yes, they are dated, but I think they are great. The new die-cut machines are wonderful but these work just as well for making letter cut-outs. Last but not least, I got some copic markers. Copics are the best! For blending anyway. I have recently learned that the Stampin' Up markers and Copic markers make a great team. If you are not familiar with how these 2 brands of markers can be used together then I will get you up to speed in my next post. So, check back soon.

I hope everyone has a terrific weekend!

Happy creating!!

Misty
