Fun at the Scrapbook Expo

Today I went to a scrapbook expo and I had so much fun. There's so much fun stuff out there and I spent about 6 hours looking at it and buying way too much. There were some really good buys, however, and I just can't pass up a good deal if it's something I "need". I put all my "loot" on the table and took photos of it so you can see all the marvelous things I got. I found quite a few of the acrylic stamp sheets for only $1.50. Even if I really only liked a few stamps on the sheet, it was well worth it. Only one I payed full price for but I just HAD to have that one too. It's the one that is standing up in the back. I bought my very first Prima flowers, the tube on the left. I just got plain white because I think it will be more fun coloring my own and putting them together. I also got a block of 60 sheets of the most luscious colors of card stock I've ever seen.

The other thing I bought quite a bit of was the cutting dies for my die cut machine. The prices were very good and I picked out a few of the ones I wanted the most (buy 3 and get one free) and a few that were on sale for even a better price. There was one booth that had dies I had not seen before and were absolutely "to die for". They are shown in the photo below. They were pretty expensive, but I think they'll be well worth it.


The last thing I got was a storage container that they were selling at about half price so they wouldn't have to carry it home. It has little trays that fit in the drawers (which are 12" x 13" for storing paper if you want) with tons of little sections for storing lots of little items. I think it will come in very handy for storing my little die cuts, postage stamps (I can divide them up by color) plus all the little embellishments I seem to be accumulating. I was storing all my die-cuts in a binder in pocket pages, but this will make them much more handy to find just the one I need.


My feet were sore when I finally got home, but it was well worth it for all the fun stuff I found. Now to get busy and create! Well....maybe tomorrow....
