What's up Doc?

Hi again everyone!

Sorry I haven't been postnig recently, had a minor op on my toe last week and haven't been able to think of what to write since. It did, however, give me some time off work which I had to fill with something, so I filled it with crafting.

There's a local craft fair next weekend that I just so happen to have booked the day off work for, since it's the day after a wedding I'm going to, so my sister and I thought we'd try and book a stall. Well, I tried emailing a week ago and got no response so mum called the number on the panflet for it and spoke to the mayor. Apparently she was really nice and we've now got a stall booked for us.

So since last night, I've been frantically trying to make some stock. I've already got a little bag full of elasticated bracelets I've made in the past and I added a few more this week, as well as those, I've made a few clay pendants and earrings which I'll post soon, I need to get some decent pictures first.

These two cards here are some I made earlier in the week and I've got some cards I've posted previously that I can take as stock, but I only managed to make another three last night.

I don't really have many different toppers and things at the moment, so I checked the angel policy for the Gorjuss range by Docrafts (I love it so much, I wish I could afford to buy loads of their stuff) and I'm glad that I'll be able to make some really cute cards using their characters to sell.

I'm a good girl, I check the law.

Other than that, this week has been pretty quiet since I've been stuck indoors most of the time. My boyfriend came over and set up my new PC though, so my work area now has more space and is a lot more comfortable for me to actually work at and I've also made some more cards for that competition I mentioned before. Another month and I might be able to post them on here, until then you'll all have to make do with pictures of the stock I'm working on. I hope you like it all though!

Until next time!

Birthday Blues

Hi again folks!

This week I want to share with you a little set I made for a friend who loves cosplaying and dressing up, as well as the humble moose.

This lovely lady was stuck in hospital recently and was only just released on her birthday, so I sent her a card and a piece of original art on an ATC of her wearing the Faun make-up she came up with recently.

The card features a quick paper-pieced and decoupaged moose that I sketched the outline for, since I didn't have long to make a card, this was the best way I could think of finding a method of including a moose.

Hope you like it! Until next time!

Seeing Stars

Hi guys, sorry I haven't been posting a whole lot lately, I've been busy with work and making things that unfortunately, I'm not letting myself show anyone yet. I'm working on some cards for a competition, you see.

However, I did have a lovely little surprise yesterday when I bought the new issue (64) of Papaercrafter magazine...


The thought process when I saw this on my break at work was actually quite amusing. I'm surprised it took me as long as it did to figure out what was happening as well. "That card's familiar. Wait. That's my card. That's my name. That's my name on my card. My card is in a magazine. My card. Is in. A magazine... I won how much?!!!"

So I'm feeling a little bit more confident about my cardmaking skills and I'm really excited to get my prizes and have a little rummage. I spy a really cute mermaid stamp that I'm sure I will use tonnes.

Until next time!
