Amy Tangerine!!

Hi y'all!
Oh I'm soooo excited! {jumping up and down on chair}. Guess who I met today? AMY TAN the awesome chick behind AMY TANGERINE!! (Yep, I'm shouting with excitement!) She was at our local Spotlight store for a Make and Take and to promote her American Crafts line at Spotty.

I have been following her blog for a few years (notice the link in the sidebar) and I LOVE {heart heart heart} her style, her bright colours and her fun sense of scrapbooking, and I was amazed and so excited when I read spotlight was bringing her out to Australia! (Ok, believe me- she is tall but really petite- she makes me look like a giant elephant in this pic! Argh!)

So anyway, this arvo I headed over to Spotlight at Lidcombe and got to be part of the intimate group doing a Make and Take with her! Yep, there was 4 of us! That was a little disappointing, since she is such a cool scrapbooking celebrity! And come on people, not many celebrities come to Australia, and especially to Lidcombe {giggles!}.

We made a gorgeous card using papers, stickers and stamps from her line, and I {heart} it! Ok, so I maybe bought the stamps and some more of her patterned papers afterwards, she was so lovely, I really wanted to support her line! Oh, she signed my card there on the front too {smiles!}

And then at the end she said she had a giveaway- one for who had come the furthest (which clearly wasn't me!) and then she asked would I like the Apron, cos I had been following her the longest! {High Five!} I was SOOOOOO thrilled!! She signed it for me & said to "Keep your creative juices flowing!" Well, I will! Thanks Amy!
So YAY!! If you're in QLD then she is coming to you tomorrow, check it out on the Spotlight FB page. She is so friendly, and lovely and chatty and smiley. Such a great person, which I think really shows out in her cool line of Scrapbooking stuff!
