New Month, New Look

I thought the start of the new month deserved a new look to my page.

My Facebook group is doing well - had another 2 orders this week. It's all about weddings at the moment and here is the first of 3 wedding cards I need to do this week.

The spec was pretty simple "just put their names on" so I dug out some freebie papers I had from a magazine and came up with this easel card. I really love making easels, they're so easy to make and yet look unusual and guaranteed to stand out on the mantelpiece!

It's another hot and sticky day here in Newcastle, the sun isn't shining but it's really close and clammy as we say up here. Hoping to get another card done tonight and then I'm off up to Scotland for the weekend.

I'm Back!

Hi all

it's been so long since I last blogged - all tied up with revision and accountancy exams.

But it's all over and done with for another year and I've packed those notes away and have my fingers crossed for results day August 17th!

Just a quick note now to say get in quick over at Lou's Blog as it's the last day of her "Surprise Birthday Candy"!

Back in a bit - off for some lunch!

Happy Monday!

Wow, I can't believe how quickly the weekend has gone yet again. Despite working Saturday I managed to squeeze in some crafting (see below) and I also completed this one as well...


I'm entering it to the Crazy 4 Challenges new challenge C4C34 which is to case one of the DT cards. I've never done "casing" before so I hope I've got the right idea - the colours and the layout are the same as Vicky Garrett's card but instead of using my rainy Anya I thought I would use the summer one as the sun was shining!
Fingers crossed it's what they want. Have a good day peeps xxx

Quick Post

Just thought I would jump on here quickly (I have college homework to be done!) and post this card. It's serving 2 purposes - an order from my Facebook group and also the Sketch and Stash Challenge which was "Neglected or Not Used Items" I've had these papers for ages and I think I've only used them once so here they are along with the sketch, hope you like it!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend xxx

Facebook Group

Hi All

I have finally got my Facebook group page organised, I've called it "Hayley's Handmade Cards" - if you click on the link here it will take you direct to the group: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=378716495280

I've had a few orders through already so it's working!

This card was requested by my old school friend Leeann, the spec was Chloe, 4th birthday, pink. I thought it fitted in really well with this weeks "Saturday Sketch Time" on the Club Anya blog and also the colour challenge on Just Us Girls..


The next two are for my old workmate Charlie, the specs for these were: Father's Day - horsey and Irish wedding - green/white, shamrocks, couples names.




I hope the girls like their cards and spread the word!!

More soon I hope ! xx
