More Card Making

Mum and Dad came into town today to get a few things and so that Mum and I could spend the afternoon mucking about with cards. It was great fun with mistakes aplenty but with some really nice cards made.

Here are mine:

3 birthday cards, the one in the middle is the designated man card.

Mum wouldn't let me take a picture of hers even though I personally think her were better than mine. Silly lady!

I am still trudging along with the new bub's bunting, my newest granny square blanket and the dishcloth thats on my needles. Plus I have about 4 zippered coin purses to make. I will have to have a VERY crafty couple of days to get it all done before I am back at work!

What's in your pile of "on-the-go" projects?

Making Cards

One of my things to do this year was to NOT buy any cards, and I have been pretty good doing that only breaking twice. Both times were new bub cards that I just didn't have any idea how to make (or truthfully had had the foresight to get them ready before I needed them), so I went to the markets and bought handmade cards from the lady that had created them. I thought it a good compromise.

First two tries, I added the Happy Birthday stamp afterwards.

I was chatting to my Mum and we thought we should give card making a go and as I like nothing better than jumping into a new craft with no idea, we took ourselves down town to buy some relatively cheap supplies.

The newest attempt

What you see here are my first tentative cards, the hardest part is I really have no creative bone in my body. I am not the person who throws a scarf around their neck and are instantly glamorous. Who knows what a colour palate is? I am usually at a loss! Ahhh but I am going to have a go and I more than suspect a lot of fun trying!
