Thursday 4th December

7.30pm-10.30pm

Stalls already booked include - handmade cards, jewellery, local photographs, manicures and beauty gifts, candles and oil burners, chocolate, children's books, glassware, table favours and loads more!!!!!!!!!

Hope to see you there!

Craft and Collectables Fair - Felixstowe Leisure Centre

Just a quick post to advertise the Craft and

Collectables Fair being held at the Felixstowe Leisure Centre next Sunday - 16th November. I will be selling my handmade cards there. My friend Bex has framed local photographs for sale, and Cheryl has beauty gifts on offer. There will be loads of other opportunities to stock up on prezzies ready for Christmas. The Felixstowe Sunday market is just down the road and there are plenty of places to eat - followed by a brisk walk on the prom!!

Let's face it!

Thought I'd pop on some of my 'Let's face it' ATC's that I did for Chriss' monthly challenge over on http://chriss-rollins.blogspot.com/ Thanks Chriss for emailing me the piccies. I had a go at doing something I hadn't tried before. I used pictures from magazines, acrylic paints, alphabet stamps and sparkly gems and just kind of went for it!

I'm still here!

I have neglected my blog a little over the last few weeks - I've been so busy at work and tired! Hate those clocks changing! I've been doing some crafting - mainly Christmas cards and playing with the fab Jolly Nation TSV I bought from QVC a few weeks ago. I have also had the mamouth task of sorting out all my craft things in the spare room into plastic boxes. I'm not sure how long things will stay organised but I'll post some piccies when I've finished my labels! xx

Leonie's challenge

This weeks challenge from Leonie is 'Objects of Desire.'

Living in a seaside town, I've always loved the sea so chose these images from http://www.aisling.net/. As I missed last weeks stripey challenge I started with some stripey paper, (thank you to my crafty friend Mary for sending it to me!), in a colour scheme I adore. I used a jelly fish stamp I got at a car boot sale last week for 20p, with a blue ink pad to stamp over the paper. I inked around the images, stuck on some matching ribbon and added some gems and a silver star fish. I coloured in some peel off letters in a co-ordinating colour to spell 'the sea'.

I bought some lovely goodies from Papermaize when I visited Vanessa's shop a few weeks ago. http://www.papermaize.co.uk/ and used them to make this ATC. I love the red, white and black colour scheme of these goodies. I particularly liked the Seven Gypsies ATC overlays - hadn't used these before, but I love them! Can't wait to create some more ATC's using these goodies!

Fairy Tale ATC's

Take a look over on Chriss' blog http://chriss-rollins.blogspot.com/ where she has posted piccies of my fabric and stitched ATC's that I submitted for her fairy tales swap. Thanks to Chriss for showing them. It was the first time I had tried sewing on my ATC's!
