Craft Fayre Yesturday!!!!

Not been on here for ages, been pretty busy with a training course but just thought it was time for an update! No pictures this post but I did make a little bit of money at a craft fayre yesturday and am very pleased!!!! :)

Challenge, Swap and a card Mum made!

This is my entry for the Christmas Tree Decoration challenge over on the CB forums! I used tea back folding with some blue shiney paper and then added "Merry Christmas" ribbon and some cute wooden character heads that I found in my local craft shop!

Above are my 2 tags for the October Tag Swap over on the CB forum, the theme was "Fairies" so I used 2 different style of fairy to create 2 different tags. It's my first go at tags and I'm not overly keen on them but I guess you can only get better with time and hopefully the tags I recieve back my help me learn more!

And finally....My Mum doesn’t do card making at all (she says it’s too fiddly and would drive her nuts, she’s an abstract painter though) but yesturday she sat down with me and I helped her to make this card for my Grandad (her Dad) for his birthday!

New Make

Made this card this morning from part of the RAK sent to me by 2belle over on the CB forum the other day!

Thanks again to 2belle :)

A lovely parcel....

.....just dropped through my door and I got all excited! So here is thanks to 2belle over on the CB forum for sending this lovely card for the October Card Swap themed "Snow" and a very thoghtful RAK (random act o kindness) that she also sent!

Snow card swap and I got 3rd place in a challenge!!!!

Copse got my card for the Card Swap on the CB forum yesturday so I figured I was allowed to post it on my blog now too! The theme for the swap was snow so I made this card with a horse pulling a sleigh through the snow and used a line cut out from some scrap booking paper for the words "Dashing through the snow" which I thought toned in nicely!

Also, I just found out that I got 3rd place in the 2year old girl birthday card challenge held by Counrtneysmum over on the CB forum! Have send Amelia my address and I can't wait to see my prize! It's my first prize from a challenge on the forum and I'm so pleased! Below is the card that I enter which also then got sent on to Courtnet herself for her 2nd birthday on Sunday!

Christmas "Wish Tags"

This is an expansion of something me and my Mum do every year that we thought would be a nice little thing to do for a couple of fayres I am doing in time for Christmas this year!

Basically they’re long narrow tags (that will have ribbon in to hang them up) and you basically write a little wish on it for Christmas and hang them on your tree. The wish can be anything you would like but the hope is that it will be for something for someone else and not yourself.

So this is a small batch that I have made and I’m making plenty more!

Number Challenge Card

The upload function over on the CB forum seems to to have decided it doesn't want to work anymore :(

Here's my entry for the Number Challenge. It is a card I have made for my Grandad who is horse racing crazy. I have used a decoupage image from http://thelilacgarden.co.uk/ and although my printer is running out of ink (which is why the image is stripey) I'm hoping he won't notice too much as he is unfortunately losing his sight!

The number isn't that clear I guess, but I promise it is there. He is 85 on October 17th!
