Craft fair take two.

Yesterday was my second craft fair, which was nice. 

Good points:

I didn't have the fewest sales out of everyone there.

I made £8

I got a very positive reception 

They didn't charge us for our pitches.

Bad points:

It was very quiet

The woman who called me despicable because I wasn't raising money for charity.

It was very humid outside. I don't like humidity

Like a silly person, I forgot to take pictures. But I sold one of my made from scraps easel cards and the butterfly card from a previous blog along with a lavender bag and a calendar. 

I have orders from Nana for a dozen cards for £25 and Tom from PokSoc has ordered an owl pillow for his girlfriend which should net me about £30 or £35? 

So I'm feeling a lot better than I did after the last one, mostly because the girls on the next stall didn't sell anything at all, I felt really sorry for them as they didn't know that they couldn't sell the food they had brought until they had set up... They still had loads of cheap clothes and jewellery and were doing henna but with it being exams I think everyone was too busy focusing on either studies or drinking :( 

Anyway I'm taking a few days off from serious work, I also have a card order for Sophie to fill (probably £5 for two?) and her jumper to finish so i'll probably focus on that and Nana's cards this week and spend some time just chilling out. 

Also Hunkydory PotW coming on Friday so eeeeeeeeekkk!!! Shopping!!!!

Lavender bags and "All Aboard"

The last few days I've been busy, cold (our house is perpetually in the shade and as a consequence can feel like subarctic conditions inside while it's t-shirt weather outside) and lacking momentum.

I hate the following things:

Mice. (I live in Hull, they're inevitable) 

Humidity.

Hay fever.

Canola. (Or rapeseed for those of you not in the know) 

Ranting and crusty blindness aside I've not been sat on my backside doing nothing, it kinda feels like I have but I've not. I organised my card making stuff, made some lavender bags and found some inspiration for my "All Aboard" Goody bag.

First project! Lavender bags!

Shopping list:

Purple fabric

Good scissors 

Ribbon

Lace

A sewing machine 

Stuffing (I used stuffing from cheap pillows) 

Dried Lavender 

Buttons

I made two styles, drawstring and danglers (I'm sure there is a technical term) using an old curtain and some lace and ribbon I've had in my stash for about a decade. I, like the total idiot I am didn't measure anything, or take photos as I went along. I just watched 24 Hours in A&E and worked away. I'm sure that there are oodles of tutorials on the Internet that are actually useful. 

Tonight's project: "All Aboard" 

Shopping list: 

DoCrafts Goody bag GDY0313

All Aboard twine and self adhesive reels 

Brown Kraft card blanks (5x7) 

Spellbinders Classic Postage Stamp Edgeabilities 

Dark Blue/navy grosgrain ribbon

More adhesives than I can be bothered mentioning

Red, pale teal, dark blue card for mating and layering (I used Create and Craft Topsy Turvy) 

Small circle die (I used an xcut one, roughly 2/3 of an inch?) 

10mm corner rounder

Note I also use the cover page of the 6x6. You will need that. 

Of course the Christmas tree is still there... To start with I took the card blank and trimmed a strip just over an inch wide from the front to use as envelope embellishments (just cut into roughly envelopy type proportions and draw flaps on) then I took the front page from the pad and trimmed it to just be the image sample section. I matted this up on red card and wrapped ribbon and twine around it (the bow is actually a separate piece tied around which enables the bow to be slid along the length of the twine) I stacked the mini envelopes with 1mm foam pads and tied some more twine around them, placed them as shown and slightly trimmed one of the ticket toppers and placed it inside as an insert.

This one is a bit trickier, or at least it looks it. The only hard part is cutting the strips then die-cutting them so they all come out the same thickness. Three strips from a 6x6 will be enough, just score in the centres of the flat sections and the dips in or if you don't have this die 1.5inch strips scored every 1/4 inch. Fix pieces together appropriately with super sticky tape and cut a small circle from the passport stamp section of the cover piece before mounting on a piece of card to stabilise and stick it in the front. The rest is pretty straight forward. Dimensions are all a bit rough and I didn't write them down and I can't find my ruler... Also it's 11pm and I'm sleepy...

To begin with I used some of the world map decorative tape on the card blank and seen on the front and down the inside. The only hard part of this was trimming the topper down without ruining it so it would still fit inside the envelope... I matted it up after using a corner rounder on some red card before layering it up as shown... I really am bad at talking about the cards I make...

Tomorrow I'm hoping to whip out my Boofle card kits and have some fun. Not that I didn't have fun making these, I just lacked initial inertia... 

Anyway tomorrow is a new day, new projects await me. 

Crafty hugs!  

Totally on track for today!

This morning started off with a flurry of organisation and housework emptying bins, doing washing up and generally having heads screwed on. Except Matt forgot he had a meeting from half 10 and had to rush out the door the second I got back from Tesco with a loaf of bread....

Anyway it is currently 13:58, I'm blogging and I've finished my silhouette cards! 

Shopping list:

14 count aida/ 28 count evenweave

Black stranded cotton

White stranded cotton (optional)

Seed Beads (optional)

Silhouette cross-stitch pattern

Gold mirri card (I recommend the hunkdory one as it's a nice, less garish gold)

C6 decal edge card blanks

Backing card: antique flowers adorable scorable in burgundy. 

Vintage photo distress ink

Blender tool

Large oval and large scalloped oval Spellbinders dies

Rectangular label die (I used a Xcut large dies die) 

I used a pattern from a vintage inspired pattern book that I got in a magazine at some point. There are many silhouette patterns available on the Internet, or just ask your friends. I have problems with French knots (I just can't seem to get them right!) so I decided to use seed beads instead to add extra interest and glamour. I just used some from a bag of bead waste my friend gave me a while ago, they're easy enough to find on the high street. 

When it came to putting the cards together I decided to keep them very simple, no fuss, just the framed stitching on a nice background card. I chose a burgundy colour with a deep chocolate colour foiling but black goes with anything so you can just run with it.

I cut all the bits out first. When it came to doing the frames I used the inner die as a template (as Spellbinders have a good thick border on them) for trimming the stitching down and attached the stitching to the card frame with PVA glue (red liner tape would also work) then while I waited for the glue to dry I inked up the edges of my cards. I mounted the label shape with PVA glue again (photo glue or double sided tape would also work) before attaching the frames with foam pads. 

Quick, simple, classy. 

Crafty hugs!!

Almost there.

With the craft fair a week away I'm setting myself daily tasks for things to produce as a minimum. I'm going to work my hardest but I know that if my health or my duties as a wife and mother get in the way there is no use beating myself up. 

Anyway today I've gotten Sophie's jumper off of the needles and I just need to sew it up. It's been a lot of hard work but I'm very happy with how it has turned out. Just hope I don't mess it all up at the last minute. 

Tomorrow's task list:

Make three silhouette cards. Stitch third silhouette before starting. 

See how long the small lavender motif takes to stitch.

Get on the sewing machine and make some lavender bags. 

Tomorrow's blog post will be a tutorial for the silhouette cards.

Crafty hugs! 

Happy chuffing birthday you old bugger

On Tuesday it is my father in laws 50th birthday. I love Chris to bits, he's my best friend, I'd walk over hot coals for him but I will NEVER custom make decoupage for a card for him again....

I spent an hour on my hands and knees with a surgically sharp scalpel cutting out this chuffing tank! Then because the base image is curly the whole card looks squiffy! I'm content enough that he will be over the moon though. It's a tank, with cogs. What could be better?

Shopping list: 

Papermania urban stamp Chronology cogs

Chronology toppers 

Chronology Gears

Chronology 8x8 papers (grey gears and orange cogs and text) 

Dark green (sort of dark sage/military type colour) 

Vintage photo distress ink

Black embossing powder (I have a papermania one) 

Sentiment stamp (I used the Martha Stewart "self-inking stamp designer starter set" to. Create a custom sentiment)  

Rectangular labels dies (I used Xcut Large Dies) 

A4 cream card blank

To begin with I spent about 35 minutes finding all of the correct letters and positioning them on the stamp. This will be easier for most people as I found dyslexia to be a mild hindrance... Then after a few practice stamps I made the final impression on the grey patterned paper. I waited for the ink to dry and cut two matching label shapes (one small and one big) the larger one was sized by the topper I wanted to use as part of the sentiment plaque.

Following this, all hell broke loose. It took me about 55 minutes of swearing, perspiring and shaking to cut out the decoupage. I've never cut out decoupage before, let alone one where I was choosing were to cut and never again 350 gsm... I could have sworn I was just cutting through board... 

Next some fun. I repeatedly stamped my favourite background stamp in vintage photo and threw some black embossing powder at it vaguely before heat embossing to create a textured background paper. 

The rest was a sort of mouse induced rage (I can hear the little buggers scratching and squeaking in my kitchen!!!!!) I used torn paper with inked edges and a layered paper ribbon made from off cuts of the background to frame the tank before mounting up a sentiment for the front. I know it's sideways. I'm just zany like that. I layered up the tank pieces and heaved a sigh of relief. 

Now I need to relax, possibly knit, definitely cry and hope that the mice find the Creme Egg baited in-humane traps. (I'm not ashamed, Hull has a real problem with mice and the council recommend that if you have a recurring mouse problem that you use lethal means of removal. I don't like dealing with dead mice personally but I don't want my daughter wading around in mouse poop so I don't have much choice) 

Some very sleepy crafty hugs x 

Keep calm and carry on.

Today's blog features an unexpected card ordered by my friend Emily for her Dad's retirement from the police. This morning I took delivery of a bunch of kits by My Paper Stash and this one contained the 2012 gents collection including lots of greens and buffs. 

Taking from two sets (not a big deal considering I paid £9 for 64 sets) I created an 8x8 card.

Shopping list:

Papermania 8x8 ivory card blank

Papermania 3mm brads

Red liner tape

Photo glue

Silicone glue

Foam pads

My Paper Stash Gents Papers and Toppers 

The base mats are just butted together rather than overlapped, luckily I completely by chance cut the piece with tea pots the right width for this to work. Then after cutting out some of the toppers out I placed them on with foam pads and glue to create depth the two tags are held together with a brad then fixed on with glue gel and the bunting is layered with foam pads and attached to the string with red liner super sticky tape.

The insert mat is just on the side you traditionally write on and has been left blank so that Emily can fill it out to her hearts content. 

Another 10pm card... I need to stop making a habit out of this...

Crafty hugs!

Butterflies at 10pm

I've had a card idea sketched out since the weekend but it's hard to heat emboss with a two year old under your feet. Last night Matt had his friend Alex around to play Magic the Gathering and as usual when it came time for Alex to leave they stood at the door talking about Dungeons and Dragons for an hour. I saw this coming and figured "why waste an opportunity!"

So I fished out my clear embossing ink, my powders and some leftover pieces of card.

Shopping list:
Papermania Urban Stamps Butterfly Trio (don't know the actual name, I got it in a goodie bag)
Centura Pearl Ivory (approx 11x7 inches plus several offcut pieces)
Linen cardstock (sage and mulberry)
Clear embossing ink (versamark or other)
Clear and black Papermania embossing powders
Teresa Colins fabrications live love laugh stamp
Other sentiment stamp (I used one from My Mind's Eye's Miss Caroline range)
Paper trimmer
Photo glue
Foam pads
Heat gun

First I took a 12x12 piece of sage green cardstock and started stamping the butterflies randomly attempting to keep spacing even. I stamped and embossed one at a time but it's up to you how you do it. I covered about 7 inches up the page because I wanted to keep some plain for mating and layering.

Then I took a piece of the mulberry (the same I used for the Faerie Poppets card the other day) and stamped and embossed the same butterfly stamp in the black. I actually did this twice but the other set came out much more ... Blurry? Shabby? Vintage? Anyway I coloured the failures in with slate pro markers and dusty concord distress ink and put them away for a later card.

I trimmed an off-cut of centura pearl (from some box making last month) to 11 inches by 7(ish) inches and scored and folded it in half to make the card blank. Using the embossed area of the sage card I cut a large base mat for the card, then after trimming the mulberry piece so it was actually square I cut a mat from the un-embossed sage for underneath.

Using strips of centura pearl and the mulberry card I made two long pennants (makes a change from ribbon) and using other off-cuts I created a layered sentiment and a sentiment for inside.

I then put it all together using 2mm foam pads for dimension.


Anyway this was just a quickie today as I'm a busy bee. Jumper is going well, nearly half way up sleeve two.

Crafty hugs!

Faerie Poppets

After an extensive shopping trip at Hobbycraft with my dad he told me that a female friend of his was celebrating her 50th birthday this year and asked if I could make her a card. Being of an alternative persuasion we both agreed that fairies would be a wise choice so I fished through my ashamedly large stash and found my "Faerie Poppets" paper kit.

Shopping list:

X-Cut 10mm corner punch
Papermania 8x8 card blank
Large topper
Sentiment
Co-ordinating card and paper
Mulberry coloured linen card stock
Lavender grosgrain ribbon
Kanban dewdrops (lavender)
Paper trimmer
Quickie glue pen
Pink glitter
Pinflair photo glue and glue gel
Foam pads
Red liner tape

First I took the 8x8 card blank and used the corner rounder on the open edge corners, then cut two mats (one paper and one card) for the insert and card front and rounded the corners to match the card blank.

Then I cut mats to sit under the topper and sentiment from the linen card. Before stacking the topper I used red liner tape to fix ribbon around two corners. (the pips came away quite untidily and I needed to disguise the marks)

Then I mounted the topper and sentiment and picked out of some details in glitter using a quickie glue pen, before adding a matching ribbon bow and some dewdrops.


As I said, I'm rubbish at blogging so I hope this was okay.

As far as the rest of my to do list is going, the jumper has the second sleeve on the needles and I got some new bits and pieces for making men's cards and other more desirable card designs such as Forever Friends and more Boofle... I think I have a problem...

Anyway hoping to get back on top of things in the next few days, firstly I need to get a solid plan of action of what exactly I want to get ready for the next craft fair (two weeks today) then I need to learn how to better manage my time.

Happy crafting everyone.

Almost there!

About 40 rows away from finishing the first sleeve of Sophie's jumper. I'm hoping to get it finished tonight and get the second sleeve started. My initial target is to get the whole thing finished by the time that Matt and Sam are finished playing MtG on Tuesday night so Sam can take it home to her. She's very stressed due to finishing her chemistry Masters.

Tomorrow I'm going to have a final crafty shopping spree for a good while, I'm hoping to acquire more Chronology stuff, keeping everything crossed that they'll still have some of the docrafts bags left... I'm brimming with inspiration and can't wait to be able to have another good card making session! Also I'm hoping to get an iron and ironing board for my craft room so I can have an easier time when it comes to patchwork. Nothing more de-motivating than having to go up and down two flights of stairs to iron every seam.

I'm also maybe holding out hope that my dad will take me to Hobbycraft tonight instead of tomorrow so I can have a card making session tonight! (It's unlikely but a girl can dream)

Anyway this weeks projects:

Finish Sophie's jumper.

Make more cards for men.

Make some lavender bags and other small gift items.

Fail to complete to do list...

Anyway, today I need to gut and vacuum the living room by about 6pm.

And learn to blog...

Where does all of my time go?

Okay so this week (I'm counting up until Tuesday as this week as my dad is coming for a visit Saturday until Tuesday) I've managed to not tidy my craft room, not make any more cards, not finish Sophie's jumper and not get anything planned other than in my head. However I did do some casual cross stitching while I was at WARPS (war games and role play society) and I will eventually finish my first self designed biscornu.

Despite my apparent apathy I have finished the front and back of said jumper and been able to make a start on the sleeves. I may have also ordered more Spellbinders... But everyone needs an addiction. And I'm sure it works out cheaper than smoking...

Anyway I'm so far 39 rows and just under a third of the length up the first sleeve and I'm working away steadily, hoping to have all of the knitting done by Sunday.

Got another order from Natty today, she's ordered some bunting for her student accommodation next year. She's certainly keeping me busy :)

Anyway here's picture of the sleeve progress.

Here's hoping my blogs become better written and more frequent... But that would require me to do something productive every day....

Be may not be over the hill...

But he has a damn good view!

The 14th of May is the father in law's 50th birthday and the younger of my two sister in laws has ordered a card for him. He likes steampunk and vintage stuff so it was pretty easy to knock something suitable up.

Shopping list:

Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Labels 1 (2nd and 3rd largest sizes)
Papermania Chronology Decoupage
Papermania 3mm gold brads
One other larger brad (I used a gold tone from a My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline set)
Tim Holtz idea-ology Paper Stash Kraft Resist dictionary page
Teresa Collins Fabrications Linen: Green Diamond (#FAB142)
Centura Pearl Ivory (or you could use gold mirri)
Papermania Chronology Designer Die-Cuts
Papermania Urban Stamps: Chronology Curiosity
American Crafts Thickers - Black Vinyl
Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Vintage Photo
8x8 inch ivory card blank (papermania again!)

Firstly I cut a 7 3/4 inch square mat of the Kraft paper and cut the long strip of leftovers to just under 8 inches long. Then I took the stamp and after vaguely applying ink I vaguely tiled it (I stamped on a wobbly surface really roughly) on both pieces.

It's all quite simply thrown together to be honest, I used a darning needle and blue tack to punch the small holes for the brads and just played around with the layout a little bit and did it all on a bit of a whim as we got a nearly £3000 gas and electric bill through today...

I used 2mm foam pads and pinflair photo glue for adhesives.

Jump-er to it

After managing a reasonable amount of work on this project last night I feel I have regained my momentum. I'm also feeling intent on blogging every day about current projects even if it is just a status report rather than a unique item or tutorial.

Today has been a bit difficult as I've been a bit inattentive due to codine and my daughter pretending to be a kangaroo. Toddlers make life tricky, now I understand why most of the crafters I admire are older than myself with slightly older children. It's hard to fit craft around being a housewife and mother (I label myself as that as I am a wife who keeps house, though Matt does pull his weight most of the time bless him) especially when you're mother to a busy little girl who is intent on being an übermensch.


Anyway, my plans for this week are:
1. Wait on parcels. There are /I think/ five due to arrive this week.

2. Make Chris's birthday card from Natty, tutorial will be done for this. (I appreciate men's cards can be tricky)

3. Finish this jumper and hopefully start mine.

4. Do some textile work. (Either small pieces for cards or small gift items)

5. Make some mens' cards.

6. Some cross-stitch.


Anyway back on topic to Sophie's pullover. I'm about 20 something rows off of finishing the back, I have a mystery though... Somehow I have an odd number of stitches when I should have an even number... Hmm... I'll sort it easily enough but it's just mysterious. I'm hoping to have this done by the time we start playing D&D (Dungeons and Dragons, yes I am a genuine nerd and it's 3.5e in case anyone is wondering) tonight, if not by when we start by when we finish. Though I really don't want to be dealing with the pain in the butt that is picking up stitches with a houseful of people... Won't bore you with pictures of a half finished jummy in every post so here is a picture of my daughter instead.

Actually knitting today!

After a bit of a wooly hiatus I've picked up the needles again to work on a summer pullover for my friend Sophie.

I'm also planning on doing one of these for myself after this one is completed but in a much more vibrant colour scheme.

I'm so far 4cm off of starting armhole shaping on the back but generally this piece has gone quite quickly and if I hadn't gotten wrapped up in my paper-crafting I could have easily finished this in a fortnight of dabbling. I'm hoping to get the back finished before Monday when I will, hopefully, actually be doing a card tutorial! I'm making a card to order for my sister in law to give to her dad for his 50th and my deadline for having it posted to her is Tuesday so I'm hoping the rest of my Spellbinders arrive before I start on it so I can do the best I can. (I need to do a blog about my Martha Stewart stamp designer too soon, will probably be when I sit down to do my business cards)

Anyway yes, jumper.

Simple stocking stitch design with lace details around the hem and cuffs worked in a DK weight cotton blend for a lightweight finished garment.

Recommended yarn: Sirdar Summer Stripes (60% cotton 40% acrylic)
Yarn used: Sirdar Crofter DK (60% acrylic 25% cotton 15% wool)

When we went shopping for the wool Hobbycraft Hull didn't have any colours of Summer Stripes so we both chose alternatives. Luckily for me both our alternative choices came in larger balls so we still got 15 balls between us for the two items (in a 3 for 2 offer, bargain!) and I'm going to have a decent amount of leftovers to play with! (Which is lucky!)

So long story short. I'm knitting a jumper for my friend. Have a picture of the finished item on the pattern with my W.I.P.

Positive but deflated

My first craft fair did not go as well as I had hoped, but still better than expected. After paying £10 for the pitch I in the end made £15. The students did not seem very receptive but there were many positive noises made by visitors and staff and I have booked myself in for the next one On the 20th of May and I will have business cards Which will hopefully lead to more sales.

Next time I am hoping to have more sewn and stitched items and make more profit.

This week I got a new leatherette office chair for using with my sewing machine which is very comfortable but unfortunately the cottons I'm using need lighter needles which I cannot get until tomorrow, so I cannot have a manic sewing session until then.

Ever since I learned how to truly appreciate a sewing machine I have had a great deal of affection and a great affinity with free motion stitching and appliqué. I could quite happily spend 6 or 7 hours straight at the sewing machine just doodling away; I'm hoping to use self designed textiles in cards and small gifts. And eventually home-wares. Something gives me the impression that oven gloves will sell well during freshers fair... I hope that I can actually get a stall during freshers week because I know that many girls will be wishing to brighten up their rooms in halls. The only cards I will be working on for next months stall will be male birthday and graduation ones. And possibly some fathers' day ones. But my main aim is to have more gift items.

I will make a full post about the fair when I can get on a computer so I can upload photographs from my camera. It may not have gone as well as planned but I'm remaining positive and hope to have more success in the future.

Long story short,next month: business cards, more gifts, more positive attitude.

So far, so good!

So i have my first ever craft fair in 6 days time! I figured I'd catalogue the cards I'm selling so I have some kind of record of what does well and what doesn't.

Photo 1: my 50p/£1 birthday cards (two still needing stamping finished)

Just realised that the Christmas tree is in the background... Don't judge me...

Photo 2: £2/3 birthday cards (the far left two are the £3 ones)

Photo 3: £4 cards (these will have boxes to sit in)



I'm really struggling to think what to write as my brain is just all full of card ideas.... I also have a whole bunch more cards to sort and photograph, hopefully I'll be able to borrow my hubby's iPad to take to the fair to photograph my stall. I'm also hoping to have an hour or so to spare on Sunday night to photograph some individual cards and do my own crappy version of a tutorial.

This must honestly be the least wordy that I've felt in a few days but I really do just want to just dive head first into my work... And I'm slightly distracted by my little girl reading Monkey Puzzle to herself, can't tell if genius or just really good memory...


I'm hoping to make some better/ more frequent posts while I'm working my behind off.

To do list: more cards, lots of cards for blokes, little boxes for ready made cross stitched gifts, more gift/home-ware items... I'm not going to be sleeping much...

A starter for 82.

Okay so last night I charged myself, in a spellbinder deprivation induced rage, to make Nana's birthday card. (Nana is actually my fiancés Nana, I ran out of grandparents in 2010)

I'd had an idea set in my mind since I put in a recent order for my first batch of Spellbinders dies (a selection of the Imperial Gold dies and Medallion 7) but since they failed to arrive in time I had to improvise with my meagre Sizzix collection.

To begin with I sat down for the first time with my brand new pro markers (skin tones set 1&2 and pastel tones one and fished out my Contemporary Christmas 2011 set and took a deep breath. I grabbed my black pigment ink, my acrylic block and my Somebunny to Love stamps and got to work. I know that I'm not the best stamper so I knew I'd make a pigs ear of it.

Taking two doubled up sheets of copy paper (I knew the ink would bleed through so I used a second sheet to catch and mess) I stamped the adorable little bunny a few times on each sheet and started colouring. I thought back over the past 18 months that I have been crafting to all the pro marker demonstrations and just had a play. (If you want to do a better job look up Joanna Sheen's tutorials on YouTube)

An hour and a bit later I settled on the coloured image I was going to use and I raided my stash for some bits to build a card. I selected a printed hessian effect to tie in with the neutrals, a pale sort of almost purple colour glitter card to tie in with the pastels and a rainbow mirror board, just because. I threw in some pastel purple grosgrain ribbon, some pearl cabochons and a tiny amount of glitter to tie it together. I also used a rose and lace print 12x12 paper for the base mat and insert.

After a nightmare cutting the insert with a blunt craft knife (I need new blades for my trimmer) I assembled the card. When I die cut all of the pieces I cut a piece from the wrong side of the hessian to get a white piece to mount the coloured image on because I'd only used copier paper.
I cut two of the smaller tag, using one on the inside too and I stamped and heat embossed both sentiments in black. I also used my Ivory pro marker to run around the edge of the shaped mats.

I might have lost my train of thought half way through as my Spellbinders just arrived. I'm going to be busy today!

Crafty hugs to everyone!

Soon...

I'm hoping to finally start posting again and posting crafty things as I've been redonkulously busy and... Well... Forgetful... I'm receiving my first bundle of spellbinders dies today and despite already owning dies of other brands these will take my papercraft to the next level.

To be continued.
