Making Cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (Part 3)

Morning ladies don't know what it's like anywhere else but it's absolutely pouring down here again. It hasn't really stopped since thursday.
Hoping to get some crafting done today but not sure what yet..

Rainmac- well done, whats the item in the cake stand in boxes top left corner of first pic on the blog?

An easel card- ive no nesties to decorate do you think mine would look ok without?

Yep, I don't have nesties either but think mine look ok

The little boxes in the cake stand are Very Special Boxes. I just tied ribbon round empty favour boxes (got cheap on ebay) and added the cute poem. Sold quite a few of them

Good grief i don't even know where my tree is. Not sure i've seen it since we moved .

Lovely cards sunrise .

Well i'm worried now i'm thinking we'll sell nothing . Probably why i usually give it away rather than sell it.

Rusty you sound busy hope it all goes well with your visitor.

Rubbish, you'll do brilliantly and have a fab variety of stuff too

Dawnteabag, I was selling the pegs for 75p each and did sell some but not that many. Think for the next fairs I'll do 50p each

Craftygranny it is Raining here today aswell! I have so much to do and really don't feel like doing any of it!

I am debating wether to make a plate card or a easel card for a friends birthday, I need to go shopping still to buy her birthday pressie. Also need to think about the christmas pressy swap over on CP.
Think I need to have some crafting time today aswell as trying to get some of the christmas pressies wrapped!!

Rainmac - Have you come down from your craft fair high now?? bet you were so chuffed! When is your next one?

Thanks for that link, I have a couple of friends who would appreciate that sentiment. (I shall add them to my extensive project list lol) I like the idea of attaching a magnet to them so they can be stuck on the fridge.

I have favour boxes left over from my wedding, so that will be handy to use them up

Mary, all I did for the Santa keys was buy some key charms (quite large ones but they are still not as big as a normal key) and attach this poem... Dear Santa, we don't have a chinmey as you can see, But we still want you to visit so here's the key. An old key would work fine - I would have used old keys if I had some ;-)

Back to back fairs fairs might not be too bad apart from not knowing how much stock you'll have left from one for the other. Looks like your going to be very busy between now and christmas. Your stuff is fab so you should do really well.
