Challenge

THANK you for the lovely comments of support really appreciate it. Was pretty low yesterday but doing better today. Just have to put it all behind me and move on.

Have been busy trying to tidy my craft room so I can get the living room sorted (lots of craft stuff in there !) but took a break to make this card. Entering it in the Daring Cardmakers challenge this week ' Say it in Sepia'. Hope it's ok.

Have a lovely day.

Canvas

Thanks you for all your lovely comments about my bags, craft fair and my published project, really appreciate the kind words.

Just wanted to share this canvas with you. Not had a chance to take a good photo of it and it was sold. Had a ok time at the craft fair, not as much fun as the one in our village. Sold a few of the non-card items and only a handful of cards which would have been ok if the people were a bit more friendly. Decided I will not do this again next year, just too much effort and not much pleasure.

A photo of the ATC I made for my yahoo group: England Stampers.



Hope you are all having a great Sunday.

Some news and crafts

Finally got my copy of Craft Stamper and one of my entry to the Stamper of the Year competition made the short list (pg 27). I am trilled!


Here are two projects I made for my craft fair tomorrow. Been a while since I did some fabric painting and really like how these bags turned out. Been trying to decorate a canvas for weeks and finally got it done today. Will take a photo tomorrow. Sorry for the poor photos but taken at night.




Have a lovely weekend.

Challenge card

Another post today! This is my first entry to the Crafty Catz challenge and they are also having a DT call, which I am hoping to be considered for.

My card was made using ' More for the Men' Funky Fairy paper and sweet image was sent to me. The image was coloured with watercolours and the celebrate was computer generated. Hope you like it.

Great news Tim Holtz is doing his 12 Tags of Christmas again!!! Can't wait for the 1st December. It can not be missed and lots of prizes will be up for grabs.

Having faith in God should open our minds to people and the world around us as the verse below tell us. Hoping that today we will all open our minds.

Craft Fair

My hand-painted ornaments

Hello and thank you for all the lovely comments you have been leaving. All those who wished me well at my Craft Fair, a huge thank you.

You can see a photo of my table with some of the items I made. Just added a photo of the ornaments I painted. My cards did not sell very well but the non-card items did ok. Most importantly I had a wonderful time getting to meet the people in my village. The event was organized by two lovely ladies Sarah and Marjorie. Looking forward to the next one.

Will post some more photos later.

Funky Fairys Competition!

Now, it's only 2 days away until the new look blog will be shown to you all and I thought it would be fun to have another small competition. OK, today's question is . . . "Name 3 members on the "Fab 'n' Funky" DT". A nice simple question but you better be quick as the winner will be picked at 11pm TONIGHT ! The winner will receive another mystery package but I can guarantee it will be a FAB mystery prize.
Go to the Funky Fairys challenge blog and leave your answers.

Good Luck!

Just to share....

. . . . some of the things happening !

We have been busy redesigning the blog and the new banner . . . us girlies have agreed on the new blogs name. Now can you guess what the blogs re-amped name will be? There was a clue on Wednesday's post and there is another clue in today's post. How wicked are we?

There will be a mystery "prize" for the correct person who guesses the new Challenge Blogs name and you have up to Sunday to comment with your ideas on the Funky Fairys challenge post.

Have a great weekend everyone.
