Another Craft Fair

Well, as I did quite well at my first craft fair I have booked in to do another one ... on Saturday!!! I must be quite mad. A friend of mine said did I want to book a pitch and I said "umm, ahh ... well ok then" and that was that. So now I am busy making more cards, altered notebooks, gift bags etc etc. Apparently this one is usually a very good one to do so I have high hopes (which means it will probably be a disaster knowing my luck at the moment - lol). Anyway, I will let you know how it goes so "watch this space" as they say!

Things have not been going very well at the moment which is why I have not posted for a while in case anyone has been checking to see what I have been doing! I won't go into it 'cos I don't want to bore everyone to tears!

On a brighter note, below is a picture of the card I made for the Crafters Companion monthly challenge. This months kit was provided by Jeannette and what a great kit it was too. Hope you like my effort! I used Sakura Stardust pens and my water brush to colour the image and added the three small stars on the ribbon which came from a Crafty Bitz Christmas pack of embellishments which came from QVC - they had a great offer on a while ago so I took advantage of it - seemed daft not to. Any excuse - lol.

Papertake Challenge (Group 4)

Well, I've finally finished my altered item. I used an old crisp tube (washed!) and decorated it with all the lovely papers and things I was sent. I added a few twinkly christmas trees and some stick-on jewels for the lid and some coloured cord but other than that I just used the items from the pack.


I am quite pleased with the results and I think it will make a great container for home-made biscuits to give at christmas - in fact, I am planning to make some more altered items like this to put pressies in for christmas!
