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.

Hair Grip using Art Philosophy

This is a simple hair grip I made for my stall at the Craft Fair.  They were very popular and so easy to make.  The grips I bought from my local supermarket very cheap. Then using the flowers from Art Philosophy just glued them onto the grips using Pin Flair glue Gel.

Thanks for your comments.

Birthday Card using Better Together and Grand Calibur

As 99% of my die cuts are Spellbinders if not all,  the new ones were on my shopping list and so I had to have the Grand Calibur.  Its great being able to cut and emboss a full A4 or lots of smaller die cuts.  On the edge of this card I used the Classic scallop Edgabilites and I cut the mat out with the Classic triple scallop and the Classic scallop rectangles to make a frame.  Then I used one of the Edgabilities down the side of the frame to cover up the fact I hadnt got the rectangle in the middle of
the frame!!  I placed a bit of paper at the back and the girl and dog from Better together page 20 cut at 3 inches and the sentiment too.  I used some glossy embossing powder to put on the dog, girls hair and dress and also the sentiment. 

This is another card I made, as I couldnt stop using the Grand Calibur, its so easy to use and  great for back grounds and edging.

Thanks for looking.  Hope you all had a great summer break.
