Craft Stall

This is what my table looked like.  I made loads of stuff yet again and sold quite a few cards, jewellery and glass.  Not necessarily on the day but who cares as long as people appreciate them.  I love making things and it makes it all the more worth while as I said if people appreciate them, so thanks very much.

Its always a nice crowd at the craft fairs and even if we don't sell anything we usually have a good time nattering.  XX

Another Buccaneer card this is entered into my first Challenges!

The challenge was just to use something found in the sky like clouds, birds etc

So I already had this card made which was ideal.  The seagul has been cut out at 10 cms (4 inches) and the words were done about 3 cms (1inch), I think.   

The word book is a bought one and covered in paper from a Walmart pad.  

Seagull cut at 2inches I think, I did some extra layers to add more dimension.

Ribbon from my stash and have decorated with crab and pirate and other images.

The Album I have made for my Sister In Law when I visit next month.  I do love all the images so far on the Buccaneer cartridge and think its the best one out there.

Thanks for looking.  xx

Word Album Friendship

Hi as I have finished my college work for this term, hopefully, fingers crossed, yippee, I can post a few things on my blog.  This is an album I made for my neice for finishing college.  Graduating as the Americans call it but without the ceremony!  I keep saying this but I dont get the opportunity to play in pink very often so when i can I take it.  I am also glad to say my neice loved the album, phew!

The letters were cut from the Old West Cart from DCWV The Sweet stack which has some lovely papers in.  Ribbons from my stash and some vintage lace from my Dad's stash that he left me.  Bound with my lovely Cinch, I love my Cinch!  Its so easy to bind stuff with it.  Letters were cut out at approx 9.5 cms (3.5 inches) with the word "ship" cut from Gypsy Font and welded together.  The box I made from a 12 x 12 peice of paper just fashioned round the album with acetate wrapped round and eyelets fastened on using my cropadile II, then I threaded ribbon through to hold it all together.

This is the Vintage lace.  

Thanks for looking.
