I hope you all had a great weekend! I was able to take some naps, finish some books (even though I didn’t participate in the Read-A-Thon!) and just enjoy some down time. Of course the weekend is never long enough right?
Anyway, I’ll tell you more about my books finished in another post, oh and I also have to tell you about some ARCs, but aside from buying a lot of books I also like to shop for craft supplies. So I thought I’d share with you some of my latest purchases.
These are supplies I use for my art journaling. I love to use stencils and these I use to build backgrounds and also to create designs when I use my gelli plate.
I also like to use rub-ons and pretty papers. If I’m bookbinding I will use large sheets of paper that I buy at places like Paper Source or I will use the 12 x 12 scrapbook papers you can find at local craft stores. But if I’m working in my art journal or some other mixed media project then I like to use these little 6 x 6 paper pads because they have so much variety and the smaller pages fit my projects just fine.
Some other items I like to use are Ranger Ink Pads, Faber Castell brush pens and a new favorite are these Stabilo graphite pencils.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed this. Oh I didn’t say where we were going on vacation in my last post did I? We are going to Vancouver! I’m so excited as I’ve never been to Canada. Still months away but given that the temperature reached 94 degrees this weekend, I’ll be ready for cooler weather. If you’ve been to Vancouver and surrounding areas and have some recommendations of not to be missed things please let me know.
So tell me how your weekend was and if you got a lot of reading done.
I’m glad you’d a wonderful weekend, Iliana. My reading time is always limited on weekends so I’ll always catch up on my reading when my girls go to school.
Visiting craft shops are so much fun, even if I don’t know much about crafting. 😉
That’s so exciting about your vacation. Canada! I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time there. You’ll share pictures, right? 😉
Sounds like you had a fun weekend, Iliana. I love those geometric designs on the paper you bought. And a trip to Vancouver. How lovely! That’s an area that we haven’t been to yet, but I do want to at some point. We never got north of Seattle when we lived up in the Northwest. One day.
Vancouver! How fun! You got up to 94 there over the weekend? Holy cow! We were “warm” in the upper 60s!
I should get a craft lesson from you sometime. I love all those things you do but I have no idea how to do any of that. So I’m always hesitant to jump in.
Vancouver sounds great! I haven’t been there but I was at Toronto/Quebec/Niagara last month and had a blast.
How much fun is that! Craft supplies are the best!
Sounds like a perfect weekend to me! I love all those crafty goodies, too! And yay–how cool you are going to Vancouver–I have heard many wonderful things about it and hope to travel there myself someday!
