interesting dies......

I went to our local scrapbook store last week to pick up some papers for my Livonia classes.  I decided that I did need some of the new Distress Oxide ink pads - just four.  I'm hoping my limited knowledge of the color wheel is correct.
Anyway they were completely sold out (I am finding out that just about everyone is for that matter!).
So I checked out some dies.
For your information........
the new mini tattered florals thinlets are very much like the older tattered florals garland strip (long gray).  So unless you really need the branch, save some money.

the white flowers were cut with the strip die
the pink were cut with the new thinlets dies

My strip die is just about on its last legs.  It is very difficult to remove the cut paper from the shapes so I am glad I purchased the new set.

I also purchased a word set.  Bonus!!!  not only do you get the word bars, you also get all of the letters!

They were a little larger than I expected but very usable!

I bought the Celebrations set.

And I can't remember if I showed you the start of my second are journal entry so here it is.  The page is much further along but I forgot to take pictures.  Watch for more soon.

And remember to check out Scrappy Chic's website for class information!  Sizes are limited.

See you soon!
