Made this today!

And I'm rather chuffed with it if I'm honest, and if I was a girly girl I'd be keeping it for myself instead of adding it to the stock for the stall on the 23rd.

Also here is a close up photo of an order for cream earrings all mounted on their card.

Going to crack on with some cards next, so I have a few to sell. I'm not going to go too mad though as I have no idea whether I'll even sell anything yet. If it doesnt go it'll all be uploaded to my Folksy store and my webby. That is the next project after this sale - get my webby in order. I know how I want it to look and how I want things to work, just getting the time to put my dastardley plan for world domination into place...mwahahahahahaha! Ooops! Did I say that out loud :-)
Take care everyone and I'll be back real soon with some more makes of various guises.

if there are any card makers out there that fancy getting in quick before the Fathers day rush and if you want to get ready for Mothers day next year, failing that it is available in both "With love" and "Birthday" versions.

Latest cards

I'm really getting back into my card making at the minute and thoroughly enjoying myself too. Anyway, these are my latest cards and again they are all CraftsUPrint downloads. I've made 3 Fathers Day cards and one that is suitable either for Easter or as a sympathy card as text for both occasions is included on the sheet.
I've made this one as a sympathy card as our friend lost her nan at the weekend and it is the funeral this Friday.

The last one is my second card uploaded to the CraftsUPrint website. My little clicky thing in the top of the left hand corner of my blog should take you to them I believe.
I hope you like my cards as there will be some smaller versions available soon as well of all of these 4 so keep your eyes peeled for those soon.
Take care everyone and goodnight

Happy Mothers Day everyone!

Well I bought myself some flowers yesterday when I bought the mums theirs, just so I didn't miss out. My eldest daughter has just facebooked me to say the card is in the post, but still no volunteers to make me breakfast or cook the dinner later :(
Anyway, last night I finished off the 2 mothers day card downloads I had chosen from CraftsUPrint. I will definitely be making these to sell next year along with some others too. Think I'm getting back into my groove now in all manner of crafting. Anyway enough waffling from me, onto the pictures.

This cascade one is awaiting validation on my CUP profile thingy and it's my first one on there, only thing is, it's a very difficult card to show off with just one picture as it's not all on one side. Hence there being a few of it here instead.
Next project is Fathers day cards and I've already made a start on those but you'll have to wait for a couple of days to see those as I have a full day of other stuff today sadly.
I hope all you mums have a lovely day out there and are spoilt a lot more than I'm going to be today, maybe one day someone will cook for me......
Take care guys

EDIT:- I've just entered the top card in at OSAAT as they are having a 3D challenge this week and the lovely Jo is stepping down as one of the talented DT so I thought I'd enter to mark the occasion.
All the best Jo

Just finished these off....

Well actually there are another two pairs of the variegated colour, but this is just a quick shot so my FB buddy can choose which colour she likes the best for her order. The proper pictures will be taken tomorrow when they are dry and on their display cards, which of course I will share with you all.

So, which do you prefer? Solid colour or the variegated. I like them both equally and think I'll make myself a pair in each colour (I've already nabbed myself a pink pair that I didnt show you all yesterday as I deemed them substandard)
Anyway, it's just a short one tonight as I think I'll now go downstairs and spend some time with my hubby...and maybe some knitting needles hehehehe
Night all and take care

I'm back after a BAD week

And it was a very bad week I hasten to add. Last Sunday I was told I had pharyngitus and that all I could do was take my painkillers along with some soluble aspirin and that as long as I drank I'd be okay. Well baring in mind it was killing me to swallow in the first place I wasn't amused at this diagnosis. Then on Monday I heard that my Farf (my grandad) had died the previous Wednesday and that the funeral was to be on the Thursday. Well with this emotional pain, as well as the pain in my throat that would not go away and took my voice with it, I really did not feel like crafting at all. I did start and finish a chunky lacy scarf though saying that - picture to follow.
Anyway, after the trauma of Thursday, I suddenly felt that I needed and wanted to craft once again so I have made several pairs of crocheted earrings and finished off loads of brooches that needed finishing (well obviously lol). I also made some cards to display said earrings and brooches off.

Expect to see some cards soon as well as I've got a load printed off and ready to be made up. Anyway, I'm going back to work tomorrow even though I'm not 100% (I'm only about 60% if I'm honest), but I have to take the 2 purple brooches into work as they were orders from my work buddies.
Take care everyone, I'm going to go and drink some more water (cools my throat and makes it feel better) and have a bath. See you all later....
