Awesome August Blog Hop.... Celebrating the new Annual Ideas book and catalogue.



How are you surviving our very wet and cold winter?  At least it is a great time to get some crafting done indoors!  If you have come from Wendy's wonderful blog post then you are on the correct blog hop!

There are so many lovely new products in the 16/17 catalogue, it was hard to choose what to blog about. But then I had a little trial of the shimmer pen. I am so in love with this simple to use pen.


When your pen arrives, you will need to remove the plastic part in the middle. Then continually turn it until it gives a little pop and you are now set to go. With a gentle squeeze the wonderful shimmer just glides down the brush and onto your project.



Here are a couple of butterflies, the one on the left with no shimmer pen and the one on the right with shimmer pen. With just a few strokes it turned an ordinary butterfly into something really special.(You may need to come and visit to see the difference!)  This shimmer pen could be used on plain or patterned paper, mixed with a little ink or water colour paints, or even used to blend over the top of some water colour pencils!  I know I shall be purchasing a few of them as my daughter also loves it.

I do hope you have a good look at all the lovely new products that are now available! Some are available to purchase right now, and others will come in over the next few weeks.  To continue on this blog hop, click on over to Alison's Blog page.

Happy Scrapping until next time,

Cindy
