little_lil

what a wonderful thread. I am sat here reading through the thread having been sent home from work ill and it has really cheered me up to see all your wonderful ideas. I am a scrapbooker so have lots of crafty bits at home and am very inspired for christmas.

A special thanks to flyingpig58 for taking so much time and trouble to inspire us all :xmassign:

Why not google images already coloured for you, print a whole page, punch them out & pop a layer of Glossy Accents or the like over it for a shiny look OR one of those clear appoxy domed adhesives. Failing that cover ipage in that clear book covering or laminate them to have them look a little more flashy.

Hi everybody, I've been reading all your posts for weeks and finally plucked up the courage to post something!
I'm making up a Movie Night hamper for someone's xmas pressie and wanted to put them into an empty popcorn box. Does anyone know where I can get a template from, preferably a free download off the web.

Thanks, Sarah

Moosetastic i thought finding craft fairs in barnsley was like finding needles in a haystack so well done.

They are Craftygranny lol its in Beverley!!

Last year I did one at Priory Campus though, its for their xmas lights switch on, it was £15 a table (if you have a lot, you will need to pay for 2 as they are quite small) but there was lots of people there, I made over £100 in 4 hours. The person to email last year was Nicki Pointon - I'll pm you her email address.

photos of my mum and sis and my lovely stall last year!! (i'm behind the camera!! lol) :rotfl:

Cottonwoolkatie. My daughter saw that one advertised and wondered if it would be any good but she also thought it was quite a lot to pay if you don't sell much.

I use promarkers to colour mine but they are a very expensive road to travel. I have used gel pens including glitter ones from the pound shop etc and had some fab results. I've even used my grandaughters felt tips and crayons . To help with them looking flat i added a little glitter glue or glue with a little glamour dust it gives them added sparkle .
