Shadow box from Cameo Silhouette cut

My lovely friend very kindly cut out a shodow box template for me with her Silhouette and this is how I decorated it.

Considering it was just 5 sheets of 12 x 12 card I am really impressed how it came out.   If anyone has the Silhouette I would recomend to get this file which is available on the Silhouette website.  I also made another one for the Diamond Jubilee using the lovely Papermania Portobello papers.

 

Would love it if Cricut could produce a cartridge with cuts like this!

St Georges Day

Its St Georges Day on Monday and my brother is having a get together where neighbours of his all bring a plate of food and hang out together.  This year I have made some whoopie pies decorated in the style of the English Flag.  Hopefully it will be a better night than it was last year as it was a bit of a wash out!  So fingers crossed.

Hi 1st post of 2012

Well its April already and I have been AWOL from my blog since December so sorry about that.  I am going to try and post at least once a month.  I have been pretty busy to be fair.  My ceramics course is getting a lot more intense as I am almost at the end of my 3rd year so just one year left to go after that.  These are a few of the pots that I have been making on the potters wheel.  At the moment it doesn't feel like it is going to get easier but hopefully soon it will all come together.  Practise makes perfect as they say.   I have done some with handles on which I am very proud of too.  I hope everyone of my family will like their Christmas gift of a jug this year!  

I hope you all are having a good  year so far. 

My table at the Craft Fair

This is what my table looked like at the Craft Fair I did at the weekend.  The display the stained glass items are on is what my friend from college made to display her last ceramics project on.  I saw it when she was being assessed and thought what a great idea and she let me have it!

I sold a butterfly, a Noel and a leaf and a few Christmas cards.  So not bad.  Not doing another one now till after Christmas.  I am also thinking of making a blog just to advertise craft fairs on.  So if anyone knows of any send me the details and I will put it up on the blog.  It is just for North Devon Craft fairs.  Thanks for looking.  xx

Christmas Fair 2011

Hiya everyone
Are you organised for Christmas yet!  I am not, I havent made all my Christmas cards let alone sent any.  I have been busy making stuff for the Christmas Fair I am doing at my College.  This is one of my Stained glass items which I am hoping will sell well.

I will also have a selection of cards including Christmas Cards for sale and Jewellery.  I hope everyone in the area can come and have a look.  There are over 20 stalls so there will be lots of top quality crafts to choose from for very individual handmade presents.

Just a few of my cards made mainly using the Grand Calibur and Spellbinder dies.  Thanks for looking.
hugs Susan

Clovelly Village in North Devon

Hello everyone, it is ages since I last posted, now we are all back at College it is still busy!!  I have also done another Craft Fair with another one to do, so exciting stuff.  These are just a few photos of a really lovely village we visited at the weekend.  It is a really quaint village and no vehicles are allowed in the village.  You have to walk down a really steep path all made of cobbles and as you can see it was quite wet which made it slippy.  The day ended up being gorgeous though and we had a great time here, there is a lovely beach and the shops have some unusual items in.  

This is the website for the Village:-  http://www.clovelly.co.uk/

Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
