Hello!

This is my first post. And I'm not much in the way of blogging. But I'm going to give it a good try anyways.
This first post will be pretty long so sorry ahead of time, Also please try not to get to aggravated with me my spelling and structure is not very good.
I want to show off some of my new stamping items I bought and maybe even show a few tips for stampers that may be working on a limited budget so lets get started.

This was my first project I made today, It's a pretty snowflake, It's not my pattern I can't remember who's it is but I found it on Splitcoaststampers website.

This is the inside of my stamping case. which was the most expensive thing I bought.

This is the other inside part to my case. You can see I got some shredded paper to put inside bags and cups. Also the pocket next to that is some of parts to a Gemagic its like a bedazzle. I couldn't find Brads besides the big awkward gold ones so I bought the Gemagic to give it a try.

Here is my glues and taps an the big gold brads I was just talking about.. The stapler I got from the dollar tree for a dollar and it came with a package of staples

I bought some markers to try an use on the stamps, Thou I found it bleeds a lot so I guess that idea wasn't the best.but they was on sale for 50 cents so I couldn't pass it up. Also got some pretty glitter and ribbon I got lucky with the ribbon it was 47 cents a roll WoooHooo.

All these stamps was bought at the dollar tree. The wooden ones where 4 for $1.00. The black ones was all on one sheet I cut them apart they are normally used with paint but found I could use them with ink. The cute rounds ones where 2 for $1.00 they are rolling stamps they have hearts an kittens an smiling faces and more each round stamp had 3 patterns to it.

To the left of the stamps is a package of Ink called Petal ink that was bought at walmart for around $7.00 It has multi colors in the package.

To the top left is a scalloped hole puncher its a small one I got it from walmart. The big crimpers where for $1.00 at the dollar tree store, they crimp Teddy bears,Hearts,Flowers and Stars.

The scissors also from the Dollar Tree and the orange lady bug is a hole puncher the blue apple is an embosser both from Dollar Tree.

I wasn't able to find a bone folder so the brown thing you see there is a cuticle pusher that I had in a manicure set, I found it does great for scoring and crisp folds, before that I was using the handle cut off an old tooth brush. The compass an protractor and ruler came in a set for 50 cents and I already owned the orange scissors and I bought the blue ones from walmart. They are not the best but do well.

This is paper I got from Dollar Tree its 6 sheets and so pretty.

This is the other package of Dollar Tree paper isn't it cute?

This is my cutter, it was the second most expensive item I bought from my starting kit

And last of all my pretty purple cutting mat I just this its so pretty.

Finding stuff on sale, Clarence items and Dollar tree store I was able to get all this for under $100.00 not to bad. But I can't wait to save up the money and join Stampin up one day.

Also Can't wait to get ahold of a few more (Ok a lot more) cool stuff.

Well I will end this post its already pretty long hope you enjoyed and As I get more stuff and make some of the cute things I find patterns for i will post it here for all to see.

Till next time Happy Stamping

Hugs,Kara
