time's up!

Good evening lovely followers! Thank you all for such lovely comments again. It's always so lovely to go on your blog and find comments to read.It always means a lot to me so thank you!

Well, time's up. The local fayre is tomorrow! I can do no more! My word am I wiped out. I had to ask my sis to take my niece home today as I just feel so tired, I needed a quieter night and to sleep without being kicked or hit on the face by wriggler! lol

I am praying it goes well tomorrow and I sell some stuff. I've worked so hard for weeks and am getting run down now (sore throat and glands up) so it better be worth it! lol
I've loved it though and am finding that I'm in such a swing of crafting now and my mojo is running wild.

Here are some bits I've made: 


This is the sign I made for my stall. My new "business" is now called Butterfly wings and crafty things, a lovely suggestion from Victoria (the gooner ;-) ) . Thank you Vixx, I love the name!

I had these alpha stickers for ages, but they are just perfect for this theme. Emily suggested I weave ribbon in through the holes and I think it looks lovely! She was very proud that I did what she said. 

I wanted to make a few easel cards but ran out of energy today, so this is all I made. I adore this image! 

Inside, with the tag to write on.

I am loving using the new fine tips for the promarkers. I got some free with each pen I bought from Letraset, and they are so helpful for colouring and blending in smaller areas. Emily loves them too as is very neat with them. 

Here is the distressed/shabby chicy album I mentioned:

I will show you Emily's cards soon, but I need to get to beddie byes, as I have to leave by 10am. This is very early for me, as I don't normally wake up until 11 ish most days. 

I wish you all a happy bank holiday Monday. Fingers crossed for me that I sell some stuff after weeks of non stop crafting! lol xxxxxxxxx

crafting is tiring work!

hello lovely followers! I am so worn out!! This crafting for a craft fair lark is very tiring! I'm shattered, but have made a lovely distressed/shabby chicy family chipboard album today.
I'll try to get pics on here tomo to show you all, but the light is too rubbish to take them tonight.
I've got my niece with me again and she's becoming addicted to my promarkers. She coloured an image in beautifully today and she now wants to make a few cards to sell at the fair with me. She really seems to be watching me and how to colour like me, bless her, which is very touching. She now also wants a crafting area in her room like me with shelves over it. I think I have a little protege on my hands!

Right, well I promised some card photos so here they are. I hope you like them. xx

The purple one is a normal small sized card but the other 3 are the 8x8" which I love.
I'm off to finish eating and watching my beloved Tottenham on tv!
Night night all. I'm sorry i've not managed to get round your blogs for a few days. I'll catch up when I can xxx

Baby girl album

Hello all you crafty lot! 

I have been so busy crafting for the fair on monday and it's exhausting! lol Having to get a good amount made is quite pressuring when I'm so tired all the time, but it's been fun. I'm just resting as much as I can inbetween so I can make enough.

This is a baby girl album i've made. I'm trying to make one of each and then I can take orders if people want more. (here's hoping!)

I hope you like it:

I've got some cards to show as well but i'm worn out so will show you those tomorrow.
I hope you are all enjoying your week xxxxxxxxx

Birthday chipboard album.

Hello everyone!! I hope you all have a little bit of sunshine like I do today. Where on earth did our summer go? The leaves are already turning and falling off and we've not had a summery August yet! My little Millie moo moo's is very happy about this as she adores chasing and ripping up leaves. She spotted them yesterday and her waggy tail was going mad! I took lots of photos on my phone, but she was running like mad so they were all blurry, so I held a leaf up to get her sitting still! lol

___________________________________________________

Right back to crafting. I am completely drained lately, since having the girls, but have so much to make for the craft fair, so I'm doing as much crafting as I can, inbetween rests and long sleeps!

I love making chipboard scrapbook albums and decided to make a birthday one that could appeal to a range of people, but probably teenage girls. I hope you like it:

I am entering this into the Ribbon girl challenge, which is to make something new using ribbon. I think this qualifies!! lol 

The challenge ends on Sat, 27th August, so why not have a go?

I love using lots of colour for these and just hope I sell some. I normally sell these for £25 but worry people think that's too expensive. What do you think? The cost of all the papers and stuff as we know are not cheap, but will that price put people off? 

Thank you for lots of suggestions for my name! I'm loving "Butterfly wings and crafty things by Kerryn, and ladybugs and crafty hugs by Kerryn" but can't decide which one!! lol

I do love my little ladybug stamp I use by my "handmade by" so it might have to be the ladybugs one. Thank you Vicky for great suggestions!

Right I need to go get crafting! Thank you as always for taking the time to visit and comment on my blog. It is appreciated x x
