New Release!

I always watch with great anticipation (and much drooling) during the few days before a new release from Waltzing Mouse Stamps when all the DT gals share some incredible samples.  Claire Brennan herself shares some incredible creations too.  I'd love to see inside her mind when she dreams up these fabulous designs and die sets LOL!

 

I try to be very restrained and not let myself get carried away with it all.  Besides I can collect and collect and yet not find time to craft with all my stuff so these days I buy only what I think I can use and I try to stick to a budget.  I don't drink or smoke, don't spend money on loads of clothes or anything else so a little treat now and then is okay I think.

 

But I do enjoy the excitement of seeing all the fabby creations unveiled day by day and for this new release Claire is running a bit of a competition to win several goodies.  With that in mind I'm entering into the spirit of things and sharing a couple of my favourite samples here so I can enter it..

 

I love the idea of this folded tag that opens up into a sewing kit by Karin Akesdotter - how cool is this?  Wouldn't this just make the most perfect tag pinned on to a bundle of pretty sewing fabrics for gifting?  I 'sew' might have to copy this idea.  In fact I've pinned it to my Pinterest boards for future reference.

 

 

 

This one from Laurie Schmidlin is perhaps my other favourite - maybe because I've always had a thing for brown paper sacks (so, so cute), maybe because of those pretty die-cut felt flowers and button or maybe because it all looks so perfectly pretty tied up with string and this adorable tag - I like it all.  Quick, clean and simple packaging but oh so pretty all at the same time, what more do you need?

 

I will be out and about all day tomorrow with our two eldest grandsons and then at my mother's crafting in the evening which has been long overdue so I'm likely to miss the actual release but I don't doubt it will be fab.  If you've never seen any Waltzing Mouse Stamps before why not hop on over to Claire's blog and check them out.

 

Now I'm off there myself so I can leave a comment and be in with a chace to win - you gotta be in it to win it right?

 

Enjoy!
