Yes, it's that time of year again. The Big Stamp and Scrapbooking show was on at Alexander Palace which ment more stash shopping. Although I didn't really need much, there is always lots of things there to tempt you. I was very good this year, and mostly stick to items on my list and manage to walk away without spending all the money I had budgeted for the event. I even managed to pick up a few bargains. Like 3 new Penny Black hedgehog stamps all from their bargain bin for just under £15. I also got a new Chatter Box album which I thought I was getting a good deal on, but then found out another supplier was sell it for £5 cheaper. Oh well, I still got a deal on it and also got some extra page protectors to go with it. I also picked up a few multipacks of much needed Bazzill card stock. I also got a few sheets of the new Polka Dot Embossed Bazzill card stock. What good is card stock though, if you don't have some beautiful papers to use with it, so I picked up a few sheet of Cosmo Cricket from the Girl Friday and Lil man ranges as well as some My Minds Eye Bloom & Grow kit, Penny Lane shaped card stock, Bella Bella and a few old Wild Asparagus pack with paper, die cuts and alphas. I also found some cute Sassafras paper with hedgehogs on it, can't wait to use them for a layout about my pet hedgehog "Tiggy" who I use to have. Of course I wouldn't be me if I didn't get some Basic Grey. I bought a wonderful Wisteria collection pack along with some matching glazed brads. Some of the other things I got was, a couple of Nick Bantock inks, Tim Holtz timeworks mask, Tim Holtz Grundgeboard dots elements shapes, Cuttlebug Just My Type embossing border folders, Fancy Pants rub-ons, new acrylic blocks (because I still can't find where mine when to), a set of Promarkers plus a blender pen, two small Studio G alphabet stamp sets, thin ultra adhesive tape, self adhesive shimmer dots, felt & button embellishment pack, crochet flowers, Prima artful collage flowers (because I'm a Prima Diva), card envelops (of which I was right out of) and Hero Arts Arigato Sparkle Clear stamp set.
It was a great day, and I was happy to share it with my hubby aka my scrapbook roadie! I hope that all this new stash will help me get some inspiration back and do some more crafting. Watch this space!

Looks like you got a great lot of stash there and full of useful things as well as inspirational ones :)
It sounds like you got some great stuff!! I got some promarkers too, though I don't have the first idea how to use them! :)
wow great stash!
Nice bit of stash there Mrs! And how great that Mr Tiggy comes with you! My DH would come to the threshold and no further. Don't blame him really, he suffers enough from my scrap enthusiasm!
