Freckled Fawn Blooper Bag

Hey everyone, welcome back!

Today I received some happy mail from Freckled Fawn. I ordered one of their 'Blooper Bags' from the website (www.freckledfawn.com)  after seeing some girls discussing them on an american Project Life group.

The Blooper Bag costs $5 and includes items that are either; retired stock or imperfect items, e.g. a sticker sheet with a couple of stickers missing/out of place.

So mine was delivered and here is what it looks like.

I thought I would order one to see what it was like and to see if I would receive some items which I wouldn't normally tend to purchase, that I could use to bring something different to my scrapbook/Project Life layouts.

So here is what I received in my Blooper Bag.

Acrylic Shapes

The first items which i pulled out of the bag were some acrylic shapes. I received a small bag of stars, two presents and a glittery cloud. I've never used acrylic shapes in my layouts before. The shapes are all really thick and sturdy and seem to be of a very good quality. I'm definitely looking forward to using the 2 presents in my Christmas 2014 layout (which i have yet to start!)

Flairs

The next items I pulled out of the bag were two packs of flairs. I have never even seen anything like this before and had to do a quick google search to find out what they were. I love the summery designs and can definitely see these being used on a bright summer layout as they will fit in very well with the colours which I am planning to use.

Epoxy Stars

The next item I pulled out of the bag was a pack of clear epoxy stars. There are 2 different sizes and they are of a very high quality. I have used epoxy stickers in layouts before but i'm not sure how well these ones will show up on layouts due to them being clear.

Glitter Snowflake Stickers

The next item I pulled out of the bag was a packet of 9 glittery snowflake stickers. I LOVE these! I'm definitely attracted to anything glittery and shiny and these will make a great addition to any Christmas or winter layouts that I do.

Chipboard Frames

The next item I pulled out of the bag was a packet of 2 punch detail chipboard frames. These will look great on a layout with a cheeky Instagram selfie on! They are nice and sturdy and I like the fact that the punched out letters are included in with the frames. A great way to reduce wastage, and extra embellishment for another layout!

Gold Foil Labels

The next item I pulled out of the bag was a sheet of gold foiled labels. These are lovely thick labels and I can think of so many uses for them! A couple of them are Christmas themed but the majority of them are plain meaning that I can use them any time of the year.

Alphabet Stickers

The next item I pulled out of the bag was a sheet of blue circular alphabet stickers. These are a gorgeous colour and a great size too. This is actually the only 'imperfect' item in my Blooper Bag due to the creasing and a couple of the stickers are peeling off. They are however, still 100% usable. 

Wood Veneer Numbers

The final item that I pulled out of the bag was a set of 2 wood veneer numbers. They are a good, large size and have a very smooth finish to them. This is the one item in the bag that I am going to really struggle to use as I really don't know what to use them for?! Any suggestions?

Overall I would say that the Blooper Bag was a good buy for me as it has provided me with a variety of items that I would probably never have purchased myself. I love that the bag is completely re-usable and I plan to use it as a crafty travel bag, unless my daughter pinches it (she's quite taken by the gold stars!)

Have any of you ever had a Freckled Fawn Blooper Bag before? What did you receive in yours?

Thanks for reading, have a great day and I'll see you all in my next post,
