So, originally I wanted to make a blue.white.red card as the recipient is planning on going to France for her 50th birthday...
Unfortunately I only have turquoise yellow and pink shimmer mist, so it soon had to take on a new design. Want to play around with the divided tags idea a bit more, as I think it could be used to make something alot better.

Commissioned card - 50th birthday

Completely failed with regular updating on the blog, oops. Trying to get caught up with things, yet again, but in the mean time, here is a shot of Powis Castle. We visited this week and it really was fantastic. :)

Bit slow on card production at the moment whilst I stock up on things to take to the Fair on Saturday in Shifnal, Shropshire.

Great weekend with my friend going to The Mail Box in Birmingham for some delicious Tapas. Birthday treat :)

Today I have made lots of little boxes (great sellers normally) and some chicken baskets! Working on some new signs now for my new ranges at this fair! :)

Got these ready for the fair on the 16th April, they are my best sellers :) If I have some time I might do some spares... thinking of pimping them on the facebook may be :)

Another NEC purchase!

Very easy to make and I think I might use them to decorate my craft stall near Easter :)

Also purchased a fab owl box and a more complicated Russian Doll box. Well worth a look and very reasonable prices too.

Working through some outstanding crafting projects...of which there are many...more than many!

Purchased this Miyuki kit from Spellbound beads in Lichfield. Thought if it was easy I might knock a few up ....however... it was not actually that fast ;) Took me two nights... erf. Maybe I need to thread faster :)

Had a great trip to the NEC with my friend Toni last weekend. It was actually quieter on a Saturday than when I went on a week day. Spent far too much money of course but did buy some luscious ribbons! Sharing my haul with you. Can't wait to use the cow ribbon :)

Been working on Mother's Day Cards this week, did a whole load of printing off these David Parkins' graphics and then sat at my friend Su's house and coloured them all in. Hope other people don't mind cats on their Mother's Day cards ;)

I think this is my favourite one of the batch. More uploaded onto Flickr.

Party Invites

Commissioned to make a few party invites and this is the result! Wanted to play with distress inks and resist technique for ages, but have just never got round to it. Both sets of stamps used were from Crafty Individuals, and I am glad I have finally done them some justice! Used Ranger distress inks in a few shades and added a little bling for the final touch.

Am annoyed my printer wont print on vellum so eventually I hand wrote the information, I usually dont like hand written greetings on card, but this worked out ok I think.
