A {Sneaky} heads up....

Shhhhh....Don't mind me...... (Leandra here) just popping in to say Hi while Gillian isn't looking, and in between Carol's fabulous posts...BTW...totally loving all the techniques she squeezing into her posts this week, I hope you get a chance to try a few of them....anyway.....back to my secret mission.....I'm Hoping they won't notice my quickie post, and I won't get told off too much!!!
I've been out and about a fair bit the last few weeks, so thought I should show you what I've been up to!. Of course there was the amazing Craft Barn Extravaganza weekend where as well as the Fresco Paints that you all love so much, we showed the utterly brilliant Grunge Paste (that you lot are taking to like ducks to water)...and Treasure Gold. We also had some special Tando chipboard shapes that match Lin Brown's Eclectica³ stamps. These look fabuolous stamped with Lynne Perella stamps to make the coolest flower heads that are quite quirky.....as you can see from a couple of my samples knocked up while demoing there (above).

I wasn't the only one demoing PA stuff, of course Jo Firth-Young was there too doing here thing......just look at her desk...blimey!!! You can see her interior design skills give her far too much panache! LOL
Anyway, I very much enjoyed working with Lin and Jo's stamps for most of the weekend, and a few examples are below. I think some of these also came from one of my other trips to Doncaster's Stamp Magic Show. 
We had a fantastic day catching up with many faces, and Michelle Webb came and did a superb guest demo with me on the stand, she had beautiful tags featuring all kinds of stamps and products. I wish I had taken some pictures, but as ever, I forgot!

So just wanted to pass on some important info to you all The lovely Jo Firth-Young is doing a class at The Artistic Stamper Craft Store and Art Bar in Faversham, Kent, it's a gorgeous canvas class! Don't miss it!!! If you want to book then contact them here to book your place.
Here's a sneaky peeky! Shhhhh

Right...I'm going to quietly slink off now, and hope I don't get busted! Thought that was quite cunning to post after our usual time...tee heee 

By the way, if you want to catch up with PaperArtsy on tour....our next gig is at the Stamperama Show at Stevenage on August 11th. See you there!

Shhh

You slunk in quite well, knocking that vase over on the way out could've been a fatal flaw!

Yep, nice bit of snucking in, ;D! and nice lot of demoing at Stamp Magic from you and Michelle. Wish I could get to Stamperama but judging by how much I spent at the Dome, it's probably best I can't get to Stevenage, lol!
