My CKC Haul and an Award

Morning everyone!

I wanted to share my CKC haul with you all.
I had a blast at my first convention. I saw lots of great products...tons of super cute papers and got some great ideas.

I did stick to a budget so that was great and of course picked up some great things

I got this whole set of Fiskar cutting templets and the cutting blade with mat. I was impressed with the demo on these products and I am a huge fan of Fiskar products anyways :)

A few of the papers and paper packs I found. I just LOVE this Monsterville paper by Sei and the Too the Moon line from Fancy Pants.

Lastly I found some 8x8 albums which I do plan on using :) as well as a new favorite embellishment of mine~The Candi's. These are so much fun to use! I also picked up some brads and eyelets from the Eyelet Outlet. They have these quicklets which are eyelets you can set with a pen...how cool is that?!?! Lastly I have been searching high and low for seam binding and I wasn't ready to by some online...but I found it here! I bought 10 yards and plan on making some of my own crinkle ribbon with it. I will let you all know how that goes when I do it.

Lastly I want to share an award I received from 2 very talented crafters!

I received this award from Mary over at Crazy MaryNSC and Deborah at Love My Paper. Thanks so much Ladies! Please make sure you head over to their blog and share some love. They both share such wonderful projects!

Here are the rules for this award..
1.Send a thank you to the person who nominated you and include their link.

2. To accept this award, I had to answer 7 random facts about me.

3. Pass the award on to at least 8 other awesome blog buddies.

So here are my 7 random facts about me -
