I've been on a little bit of a spending spree at Hobbycraft and eBay. I was really impressed with the delivery times of Hobbycraft's online shop. I ordered at 3pm on Wednesday and my stuff was delivered at 11am the next day! I'd never used it before, I usually just go to one of the shops, but I'll definitely use the online shop again! Here's the stuff I got from Hobbycraft :)
I got some more of the super sticky red double sided tape because I go through loads of the stuff! I also picked up some 3D foam. This foam is different than usual because its black rather than white. I thought it would look better on cards that are using dark colours. I also got a Tim Holtz Sizzix Bigz die. They're designed for the Sizzix Big Shot, but I've got a Cuttlebug and they fit through that fine :) I've not had a chance to usethe die yet but I've already got some ideas for scrapbook pages.
Next up I got a LOT of promarkers! I got 6 sets! I kind of went a little bit overboard but they were half price so I couldn't resist! I got the four seasons sets, spring, summer, autumn and winter. And then a skin tone set and a grey set. I think I've got a good range of colours to start my collection.
I've got a pretty good selection of colours but there's a few more I'd quite like. Mainly a darker purple, a black and maybe a couple of different greens and blues.
I plan to use these for my card making/scrapbooking etc but also for my art. I do a lot of manga style drawings so I thought I'd try colouring them for a change rather than leaving them as a plain, shaded pencil sketch.
I tested out all the pens to see the colours, which you can see below.
I also picked up a couple of the Promarker cases to store my pens in. I got these from eBay along with 2 Promarker blender pens (which aren't pictured). Here's some of the pens in the case. You can fit 24 pens in each case. I've got 32 pens at the minute but rather than squishing as many as I could into one case, I spread them out into the two cases and organised them by colours. So greys and blues are together on one side of the case with pinks, reds and oranges together on the other side. Then nudes, yellows and greens are together in the other case (which isn't pictured) along with my two blender pens.
So that's my little haul :) I'm also ordering a few Stampin Up single stamps sometime in the next week so I'll be sure to post them once I've got them. I'm also working on some easter themed things at the minute so I'll post them within the next few days once they're finished.
Bye for now!
