~ Ally Pally And Fancy Pants!! ~

I don't think The Big Stamp And Scrapbook Show quite knew what had hit it when our coach arrived at Ally Pally! We really did have a great, if tiring day.

At around 7.30am on Sunday 34 very excited ladies and one token gentleman boarded the coach, many had never been to AP before and didn't quite know what to expect. Excited chatter filled the coach as we made our way up to London. We arrived around 11am and 34 ladies descended from the coach and climbed the steps ready for some serious stash shopping. In between numerous stops for coffee we watched demos, browsed the stands, "oohed" and "Aahed" over the papers, rubber stamps, craft tools and everything in bewteen!! At 4.15pm the coach set off for home. Bags were emptied out to show our newly bought goodies to the rest of the coach and there was endless chat (amidst laughter!) about demos and new techniques seen. A "craft swap" was great fun, where participants put an item they had bought (worth approx £2) into a bag and then pulled something out in exchange! A truely wonderful day!! Thank you everyone who made it such fun!

Onto other stuff.......Look what has arrived in the shop today....... New papers from Fancy Pants "Little Sprout" range! Beautiful colours and everything from flowers, to stripes, to swirls....And "Rough and Tough" Perfect papers for layouts featuring boys! All are double sided and there is a co ordinating sticker sheet!
And, my favourite of all the new papers, the gorgeous "Dancing Girl" papers. Designed with little girls in mind but many are adaptable for a variety of themes. Again, double sided and a co ordinating sticker sheet.
That's it for tonight, I'm off to choose photos to match new papers!! Hope to be back in a day or 2 to show you some layouts using these new Fancy Pants Papers.
