Mixed Craft Saturday

Good Morning Ladies,

We have another fantastic line up of crafts and shopping, I forgot to photograph my swap gifts and the box I made for the display table until Lynda reminded me at about 11pm last night.  So I will photograph them today and share them with you next week.

Dannii has shared a photograph of the gorgeous little bags that she has made for Swaps for our team event tomorrow, they are super cute and all made with the 'Share What you Love' suite.  I can't wait to get my hands on one, they are full of sweets too! 

Dannii has done a YouTube video on these bags so if you would like to make one head over to her channel: Danielle Rose

Thank you so much Dannii for sharing your bags with us.

Val

Val has been trying another new card making technique this week, Paper Piecing is a great way to use up all of the odds and ends in your Bit Box, just look how amazing those clothes and undies look!

They work perfectly with your stamped washing line Val, such a fantastic idea. The paper you have chosen works so well with the stamped images.

A word of warning though Val..............

I hope those birds don't poop on your washing!!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your new technique, maybe we could try this for a challenge one week, what do you all think???

Karen

Karen has made an absolutely adorable Bunny, its similar to the one that she made for Sue's Granddaughter Penny. I absolutely love him Karen, he looks like he needs a Hug, his long, floppy ears are perfect for little hands to grasp, I can imagine this one looking a little bedraggled in a few years time, as some little cutie has dragged him round by his ear, not wanting to let him go! The wool is such lovely, subtle colours.

You could make a fortune selling these Karen, they look like something you see in these Up Market, exclusive Baby Boutiques, with a price tag to match.

Thank you so much for sharing him with us today.

 Lynda's Shopping

Lynda has shared her last few weeks shopping with us today, starting with a Stampin Up Stamp, which I am guessing is an Ebay Bargain, it looks a really useful stamp set Lynda, great for those 'Just because' kind of cards.

Tim Holtz Distress Crayons is something I haven't used so far, I have seen him demonstrate them and they look amazing, what are your thoughts on them so far Lynda??

Crafter's Companion Cut and Emboss Folder, now I picked this up about three times at Ally Pally but ended up forgetting to buy it, I think it is a lovely design and I can't wait to see what you make with it.

Paper Rose Train stamp, Lynda bought this stamp for CU's birthday card, I think it's fantastic, my Father in Law would love this too, I am looking forward to seeing the card you make for him.  I haven't heard of this make of stamp before but I love how much detail they put into their designs.

Lynda made both of these cards with her new Distress Crayons, she used them with different masks, I love both of them, the butterfly one looks very dramatic!  

Thank you so much Lynda for contributing to today's post.

An early start for us today, we are leaving at about 7am to get into Birmingham city centre for 10am start, I am looking forward to seeing all of my Stampin'Up! Team, I have met most of them before so nothing too daunting, Paul is off shopping with Dannii's husband Simon and I think they will go for some lunch too. We were thinking of going to my Mum's tomorrow but Paul thinks it will be too much in one weekend, I think he is right so we will probably go next Sunday instead, plus the girls want to come too and they start their A level exams on Monday, so I think a nice relaxed Sunday is what is needed for everyone.

I hope you all enjoy whatever you have planned.

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
