Mixed Craft Saturday

Good Morning Ladies,

Goodness me I have a lot of lovely crafts and shopping to share with you today, so I will get straight on with the show........

Cheryl (photos above) has been busy as a Bee making some amazing Bags and Gift Boxes for her stall this weekend, I have had these photos a couple of weeks so I know Cheryl there will be atleast double this amount ready and waiting to be sold!

I love both your gift bags that I think you said you are using for a 'Lucky Dip' and your lovely little fabric bags, I particularly like the green ones, so if you have any left over I will glad;y buy one from you as I think that they will make great toiletry bag for holiday.  

I hope your sale today is a HUGE success Cheryl and that you sell out!!

Thank you so much for sharing your crafts with us.

Janet

Janet has made two absolutely gorgeous Gift Boxes, I love how Lacey the pattern is, Janet suggested that having these die cut in Festive colours would give you some stunning Dinner table gifts with something small or chocolate inside.

The die is called: Tonic Dimensions Decorative Gift Bag - Crochet Lace

I have shared the image of the die in case anyone fancies having a go at making one. 

Thank you so much Janet for another inspirational project.

 Karen

Karen popped to Hobbycraft this week to pick up this fantastic Cupcake storage box, that has two tiers, the carry handle is such a good idea too, especially if you are taking your cakes to work or to a Bake Sale, the Cupcakes stay safely in their little ring to stop them moving about and spoiling. The trays can be flipped so that they have a flat surface for Tray bakes and Loaf cakes etc.  It was only £10 too which I think is a fantastic price, I have seen similar boxes with only one layer for a lot more!

I am so excited to be able to share these gorgeous photos of Karen's Grandson Oscar, he is so adorable and looks such a happy little chap. I bet he kept you on your toes now his toddling around. Thank you and Charlotte so much for sharing these photos with us. 

Thank you so much for sharing your crafty bargain and Oscar photos Karen.

 Lynda

Lynda received another lovely Voucher from Lisa for her Birthday for Joanna Sheen's shop, so Lynda treated herself to some lovely new dies, mostly John Lockwood dies but I see one of Sue's new Festive dies in there as well, I love all of the dies and stamps that you have bought Lynda and I am excited to see what you create with them.

The CD Roms were free, one Lisa got with the voucher and one Lynda got with her purchase. Even if you don't use the main images they usually have some lovely papers and verses on them.

Lynda is making herself a Journal and she has sent us some of the pages to look at.....

the envelopes open to store photos or keepsakes inside

this page features some lovely die cuts, which are glued at one side to give you a 

place to tuck things in.

A beautiful Peacock themed page, with one of Lynda's stunning backgrounds 

tucked into that pocket.

The Front cover of the Journal, OMG Lynda, you have achieved so much

depth and dimension and I  love the combination of the grungy/dark shades of blue and

that pretty white lace, you have an amazing eye for altered art.

 Thank you so much Lynda for so much inspiration and for sharing your birthday gifts.

Michele 

Michele made this amazing card for her Brother In Law, I really like the font of the 'King of the Grill ' Sentiment!  There is so much detail in this card Michele, I am sure Phil's Brother will love it.

These two purchases were Bargains, just as we'd expect from our resident Thrifty Crafter!

The stamp set was an offer from Craft Stash, I think Michele paid about £3 for it.

The Die set was from the Craft show Michele went to, as you can see the price was slashed!

I love the cute dies Michele, especially the puppy, kitten and Lamb.

Thank you so much for sharing your card and bargains with us.

Pat 

These are the cards that Pat made at her Groovi classes recently, I love them Pat, the frames really finish the cards beautifully.

Pat has shared some photos of Amber's goats, they look very cute Pat but full of mischief!! 

Thanks for sharing the cards and goats !!

 Val

Val has been using Scrabble tiles to make these amazing 'Milestone Age' birthday cards.

I love them Val, particularly as they have a funny sentiment too.

I bet these fly off the shelves, they are great to batch card make too.

I may use your idea for Paul's dad and Brothers as he likes a funny card.

Thanks for the inspiration Val.
