Sharing An Oldie On Friday

Hi Crafters,

 

A little late in the day but I'm here now, this morning was busy with my stall at the Farmers' Market and I didn't get a chance to post this before I went, so here is my 'oldie' for this week joining in with Erika of Snappy Crafts.

 

 

This is a thank you card that I made back in 2012 for a swap partner in Canada, we had both sent each other some goodies. The word die is from Sizzix and I cut this into the panel which was then covered in red micro beads. The photo is rubbish I'm afraid as the floral paper is flocked and the black 'thank you' is shimmery glitter but it doesn't show up at all. I have a different camera now and a bit more experience although that doesn't always guarantee great results :/

This links nicely into a big 'Thank you' to Erika of Snappy Crafts as I have just received a fabulous parcel of goodies today for a swap that we did recently. She really spoilt me and I have lots of things to create with - thanks Erika!

Well that's all from me, I have another stall to man tomorrow so I had better make a few cards to restock from this mornings sales. I will visit you all tomorrow evening for a catch up.

A Simple Thank You

Hi,
Now that the new year has started I have been busy making 'Thank you' cards for friends and family. This year I have chosen a simple design to make my life easier, lol, and batch made them all the same.

This card is also dedicated to the lovely people who have visited my blog since it began in August 2013, and left some wonderful comments. I really do appreciate the time taken to look and comment on my work and look forward to more followers in this year ahead. I have thoroughly enjoyed this little venture in to the blogging world and have encountered such friendly and genuine people along the way who are always willing to give advice and encouragement, so

Thank you !

 

Back soon,
