Card Stall and some Cards

Goodness, it's been a while since i've posted but that's probably because i have had nothing to post about plus i have been preparing for my first 'proper' stall selling my cards!

i had a stall at the Hazel Grove (Cheshire) Carnival today, the sun was shining, there were lots and lots of people there, however... only 3 people bought cards (one of whom is a friend) and most people just ignored the stall. it was more of a family event and i don't think that helped as parents don't want to spend time browsing the cards when their kids want to go to all the stalls with brightly coloured sugary treats and toys (what also didn't help was that i was situated between an ice cream van and toy stall so i got completely bypassed). on a plus note, a girl asked me if the below card was a real laptop!!!!!



anyway it was an experience and i have learnt a few lessons, it has not put me off and i will do another one, but maybe a specialist craft fair instead!

so, onto the cards part, i managed to make more than half a card for a change! here are 5 i made on sunday night:

SIL's 30th

Well i can now put up my Sis-in-laws birthday cards as the day has come and gone!

this one is from my brother and his fiance:



this one is from my parents:



and this one is from her husband (my older brother), he asked for a ballroom dance theme, i used my bride and groom quickutz dies, i hope it doesn't look too much like a wedding card :-S

On a Roll!

I'm actually getting the hang of this card making lark :-D i have made quite a few cards over the past few days (i am pretty lapse in uploading them on my blog though). i think this might have something to do with my O/H working til 8pm, i have 2 hours of uninterrupted crafting when i get in from work - get in, get changed, make cup of tea (i should say bowl), and then straight up to the craft loft! Bliss! here are a few of my offerings...

Thank you!

i just want to say a big thank you to all the people who have left lovely comments on my cards on my blog and on the DoCrafts website!

thank you!

Die Cut Dreams Challenge

well i thought it was about time i actually entered a challenge. this is for Die Cut Dreams challenge 50, it must contain a number, so i used my quickutz monarch butterfly die, journal alphabet for the numbers and a phrases die for happy birthday.,the papers are K & Co and the card is DCWV, it's also my first attempt an an easel card. the card is for my Sister-in-Law's big 30.

FF and Wedding Card

it's taken me ages but i finally have some more cards to show. one is for a friend getting married on saturday and the other was just to mess around with my new MS punch around the page set.

i've completed the mammouth task of tidying my craft room so hopefully i'll have more cards to show now i can actually find everything!

You wait for one card...

... then 5 come along at once! i have had crafters block for weeks now and then today i shut myself up in my craft room with my laptop and 'Singin' in the rain' and other DVDs and produced 5 cards so without further ado...
