Handmade Monday 58

Happy Monday to you all, I'm enjoying another beautiful sunny day, two in a row, I'm getting spoilt with all this lovely weather, hope you are too.

Sorry I'm late with this post, although its called Handmade Monday, most people who join in with this link party generally post on a Sunday, but I had a very busy, albeit lovely, craft and computer free Mothers Day.

So this is what I've been up to over the last week....

As usual I've been busy making items for the next craft fairs  

These once finished will be bookmarks, I need to punch holes and thread ribbons through yet.

I stamped these poppies from Sheena's sketchy range with Versamark and embossed in black and then coloured them with Promarkers and Copic pens. I over stamped and embossed with gold and added embossed swirls and edges

I painted up another key hanger, this time with a Paint Fusion poppy design.

I need to finish this off with hooks and hanging wire before it goes to a craft fair.

I also painted some door hangers this time with a Hello Kitty theme. I do love painting some fun, kiddy items as well as floral designs.

These two are doggie lead hangers or at least will be once I've added hooks and hanging wires.

I painted up quite a few things last week, but haven't got round to finishing many of them yet, I'll have to get busy, I've got a fair this Saturday.

I would like to enter these challenges

I'm off to check out some of the other crafty blogs at Wendy's 1st Unique blog, and Bath Bomb Creations Sunday linky party so I'll catch up later.

Handmade Monday 57

Good morning everyone, I would like to share what I've been upto over the last week and also thought I would join in with Handmade Monday #57.

Its been ages since I've caught up with all the very talented crafters who share their latest makes and weekly experiences over on Wendy's 1st Unique blog

I am also linking up with Bath Bomb Creations 'I made this' linking party

I've been busy over the last couple of weeks getting ready for Craft fairs and markets. As its nearly Mothers Day I've been making lots of cards and suitable gifts, as you may have noticed if you've looked at some of my earlier posts.

 The first pic shows a fushia painted card, and as usual I included backing papers printed off Sheenas cd and lots of fancy die cuts using Spellbinders Moroccan die sets 

In this close up of the fushia, you can see that I edged with gold embossing powder. 

I also painted a fushia key holder. I was a bit too keen to take the photo and only realised when I was writing this post, that I took the pic before I'd added the hooks and hanging wire, and I can't take another photo now as it sold straight away on Saturday at my local church craft fair. 

Here's a very rare photo of me at my table at the craft fair, usually I'm the one taking the pics, so although I have many of my stall, I'm not normally on any.

I had a lovely day and although it was very quiet in the morning, after dinner it picked up and I made plenty of sales, and even better, had a good catch up with many friends and collegues who I used to work with.

Thanks for looking!

I'll be back tomorrow with another card.
