Weekend craft and tonkotsu noodles

This post is a bit of a mish-mash, but it pretty much sums up last weekend for me.

First up, there was the Craft Fair at Darling Harbour. The focus of this craft fair was very much on quilting, beading and sewing, with only 4 stalls in 'Papercraft Alley', which was disappointing. And not much paper at all, with mainly stamps, punches and diecuts in abundance. My favourite stamping shop, Art Stamps Australia, had a stall where I stocked up on Hero Arts stamps. I've been after the little dude holding the gold block for ages, and was sooo happy to find it!

Also got some Chalkbox queues and the new American Crafts Zing! embossing powders - can't wait to use them...


Spoils from the Craft Fair - quite restrained, I think


Then I stopped of at Eating World in Chinatown for a bowl of the famous tonkotsu noodles. This pork bone soup was so thick, it was like drinking gravy - perfect for winter. I had it with a seasoned egg - double yum...


Back home, I had to make a wedding card for my cousin in Canada. Here is the final result...

The inside has the obligatory space for the money envelope (Cuttlebug embossed).
The card is made from lightweight Bazzill cardstock (easier to air mail), circle-punched KI Memories glitter lace cardstock, American Crafts rub-on for the 'best wishes', and a cute bride and groom sticker from Krafty Kutz Australia (from the Craft Fair!). The edge was done with Fiskars' apron lace punch.
