Inspired from my weekend

Hello and I hope you are all having a good day. 

I just want to say thank you for reading my blog if you have popped by. I don't say it often but its really nice that there are people reading and looking at my crafting hobby. 

So last night I was at home watching the football England v Brazil and I thought I will do a bit of crafting while I am watching the game. Yep I switched off after 10 mins and thought I cant just sit here all night. 

So in my last post I said I went to the craft live fair in Peterborough and I took a make and take session with Riverside beads. I loved making the Angel and Christmas tree so much I popped by there stand I got a few kits. 😄

There was so many to choose from but I bought the Katie Lucite Angel Collection and the Molly Angel Collection as I went with colour in the end. If I had the budget yes I would have got them all. 

What I loved about the kit when I got them home is that it dose come with instruction and they are easy to follow. 

I thought I just start with 1 angel and see how I got on and then I discovered that I made 10 of each in a space of my evening. Well I know what I am going to do, I will put them in gift bags and they will be little presents to people.

I really didn't think I will make so many in 1 night as they looked complicated on paper. But when I did the session on Saturday I was inspired to do this and realised its not that hard to make 1 and then there was another and another. 

So with out further or do here is what I have done last night. 

The Katie Lucite Angel Collection 

Set complete

Close up and this is my new work bag charm. 

The Molly Angel Collection Full set

Another bag charm. I think this will go on my weekend bag.

I had so much fun making them while listening to the football match and if you are interested it did end up 0-0 but the England team did manage to hold there ground at home with brazil so yeah I think they have potential for the world cup.

I hope you like my creations that I have made recently I am always happy to share what I make to the world. Have a lovely day. 

Crafting Live Peterbough

Hi all 

Hope you are all well?

So I just got round to writing this but on Saturday Crafting Live was at Peterborough and I had a ticket to go. 😃

I had a great time in Peterborough this weekend that I made 3 things while I was there. 

My 1st make and take was with Riverside Beads there we made a Christmas tree and angle pendant using the kits they sell in there shop. 

My 2nd make and take was with My Paper Stash and I learnt how to make an easel card.

I learnt a lot of new skills and learnt that some paper and bead crafts are not that hard once you learnt the basic so I am very happy that I got the chance to go this year and just enjoyed making these. 

Now that I have learnt a few things this weekend I have no doubt you will start to see a few more paper roses and flowers as embellishments in my card soon. 

So while I was at the craft fair, I am not going to lie I did do a bit of shopping to the point where I might need to move house as I have no space left in my cupboard to put it all. (ha ha ha) 

I picked up a very good stash of goodies from Create and Craft with there goodie bag and was very happy that I got it, There was paper, card stock, dies, stamps embellishments they did pack it very well. A very good purchase I thought. I also picked up a free gift for attending which a lot of papers and toppers. Also  it goes without saying I bought some new tools to top up my craft supplies.

Like I said I had a very good day out and I cant wait for next year. 

Last minute Christmas stuff.

Hi all

Hope you are all having a good week.

I have some last minute time off so I am using the time well and plan to get some Partner Christmas shopping. Also I did not make Mr Oliver's Card till now as he's out fishing all day today.

So I went onto "My Craft Studio" looked around my CD-Rom collection and went with an Art Deco theme.

I really liked the Christmas digi punch I found on the software, it added to the card I think.

Its been ages since I used the software, and looked at my CD's that I have spent all afternoon going through them and looking at all the designs.

Yes I have a lot of CD's right now, that I am considering getting a second draw to compensate. 🤣

I might need to schedule more crafting days and make more cards. Hope you all have a lovely evening and happy crafting.
