LOOK WHAT MR POSTMAN DELIVERED

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all ok and looking forward to another weekend.

Mine is going to be extra special as I have my little crafting friend Helen coming to stay over and we will be having a special time together doing all things crafty. So nice to spend time with someone who loves playing with bits of paper, stamps and ink as much as I do.

Last time Helen came to stay she very kindly organised all of my ribbon drawer for me - I have really tried hard to keep it neat but might have to give it a quick inspection before she arrives. LOL!!!

Anyway the postman came with a little package for me today from 1-2-3 Stitch. It contained two new stamps which were paid for with the $20 I won from Penny Black Saturday the other week. I had to put a little towards my purchase but was well pleased with myself that I stopped at just two stamps. (See I can be strong willed).

This is the first one .. .. which I just couldn't wait to ink up (I will share the other one another time). This one reminds me of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" reading book.

This used:

Image: Penny Black "3964H" My Little Cupcake
Sentiment: Hobby Art Clear "CS016D" General Greetings
Dotty Backing Paper: Funky Fairy
Other Papers: My Mind's Eye
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles

I love this little stamp and have been toying with the idea of putting diamond glaze over the caterpillar's eyes .. .. not sure .. .. don't want to spoil it at the last minute!! LOL!!

I have found quite a few old backing papers on my laptop whilst having my "sort out". Some that I haven't looked at for ages. It seems quite a treat to "re-find" them. This dotty one from Funky Fairy is great. Sadly Funky Fairy is no more .. .. but I do have a collection of beautiful papers from there to work with.

Have a great weekend everyone. I'll catch you again soon.

Love Jules xx

    Aw, he's just so cute Jules! I like his eyes just as they are but perhaps you could glaze them next time you use him and then see which you like.

    Have a lovely weekend with Helen!

    He certainly does look like the Hungry Caterpillar. Maybe we should suggest a re-write with cupcakes, what do you think?
    Those BP are lovely. I forget to look at my Digi papers, I get too carried away with my box of real stuff. I need to take a leaf out of your book.
    Have a great weekend with your friend. My Hubby has just made me a gadget for storing my ribbons, I have forgiven the hours he spends closetted in his shed!!! I'll post it over the weekend so that you can have a nosey. It revolves!!!!
    Hugs Lisax

    So cute! What a great caterpillar! No wonder you chose him. I am guessing you realise how much you have influenced my recent purchases! The seaside theme is really drawing me at the moment - only 3 weeks to the holidays!

    What a wonderfully jolly card! The background paper works so well with the fabulous caterpillar. He must be the Very Hungry Caterpillar's cousin!
