What a bad blogger am I?

Hello folks,

I really cannot believe how bad I am at this blogging lark, then again, I never could keep a diary as a kid.

Anyway I have made quite a few cards in the past couple of week's, I was asked if I wanted to go to Strawberry Tea last week and take some cards with me to sell - well it was a bit of a flop I only sold four :( There were however only about 25 people there.

The next plan of action is a Card and Jewellery night with a friend (who makes the jewellery) at home. Date to be decided as quite a few people are away on holiday, at least I've plenty of stock, just want to try and make something a bit different to sell now, got some pictures and clipboards to alter.

Here's a few of my latest creations











If anyone is interested I've had a big clearout of stamps and have added them to my sale blog, a link can be found on the sidebar, just email me if you are interested in any.

A Special Thankyou

I made this thankyou easel card with post it note and pen for my Daughter's preschool teacher. Can't believe my little girl has only got three sessions left then big school in September.

She's the last of my babies and not four until the middle of August, it doesn't seem right, how time flies.

Anyway I absolutely love this card and the image which is of course by the fabulous Mo Manning and called "Sorry Shani" coloured her with copics, papers used are Trimcraft First Edition "Love Letters", EK Success borders Ribbon Trim and Diamond Scallop. Craftwork Cards sentiment.

Another ATC

I'm getting into these now, just need to find some nice ones to swap with.

The lovely Judie from Craftymess has an ATC challenge blog too so I thought I'd join in. Now the theme is Household Items or anything goes. Off the top of my head and without going through all my stamps I knew I had the Creative Expressions sewing kit so used that.



The background is a resist technique using an Invoke Arts tape meausre background and distress inks in blue. The sentiment was cut up and glazed with Glossy Accents.

The Stampman ATC swap - July

I got my set of ATC's back from the first Stampman swap I did last month and have to say they were lovely thank you to Susan, Tania and Jan (IoM)



The theme this month is "Vintage" so here are my three



1. Lili of the Valley postcard stamp, image from Magic Moonlight, Sizzix frame



2. Crafty Idividuals stamps



3. Paper Artsy cog stamp, image printed on canvas from Magic Moolight and Technique Tuesday sentiment

Hope you like them as much as I enjoyed making them.
