My First Time Selling My Crafty's

Hi Everyone

I have been having blogger issues and for awhile gave up trying to figure out why I'm have problems posting. So I hope this one works out.

 

Soooo... I had a festival for June 1 and made some things for our table. I shared it with a friend of mine from work. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this or not because of the amount of people who go to it, ranges in 50,000 - 60,000.

 

Did I do well...? no.. :( I will try again at other venues...maybe.. lol..

I'm posting some picture here from the festival.

I have different view on how it set up my section, and as you can see I love my doilies :)

I far right corner are these little hats that were made by my partner. These were my favorite of her items.

My skinny note pads with pens

 

Wine cork key chains. I made these very simple..How ever I should have showcased these better. I got a lot of compliments on these.

 

Ribbon jeweled bookmarks. I had some many more but I didn't finish them in time.

 

These are the book hook bookmarks. I charmed them up :)

 

And last but not least. A close up of one of my favorite color combos. The shabby chic look :)

I'm also looking into different things that are good sellers.

If anyone wants to give out some tip and ideas please do.

Have a nice day guys!! :)

 

 



Experimented Making Flowers

So I woke up this morning feeling very tired…I’ve been dreaming quite a bit and that alone tends to tire out your body…however I have been feeling much better than I have in a long time..so that is a good thing…

I have been experimenting and working on some stuff to share with you all. I was never really interested in the prima like flowers with all the glitter even though I love shimmer to live up a project. Here are of the flowers I have worked on...whaddya think ?

The first picture have two flowers made with Bazzill fabric flowers that I had forever!!! I took the time to trim them and dye them and shimmer spray them! I love the way the turned out. The middle one is made from organza in six layers LOVE IT!!

The second picture were a little more difficult because of materials I was using...raffia, Victorian lace wide organza, satin ribbons...I have seen them posted and loved the look so i decided to try my hand at them... :) I\m quite pleased...now I have to figure out which one I will use for what...lol..

Have a great weekend everyone!

Challenge #100 Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and a Story :)

Hello everyone :)

I'm VERY late with all my challenges but what I have done is combine all the challenges missed into the Reuse, Reduce, Recycle challenge # 100!!!

So here is a cap of what I've done with this card.

For Challenge #97 Purple and Yellow I had some Tulips that I had die cut from an older Sizzix Die and assembled them with the stems from awhile back. I trimmed the Tulip heads and the leaves and pop dotted them onto an oval Spellbinder Die cut. The Butterflies were punched from a MS punch which was accented with light purple wings. The yellow was the ribbon and bow. Also as you can see I had decided it looks better without a sentiment. Whaddya think...? Ya no..?

For Challenge #98 Sketchy Time I decided to keep it completely white because I liked the contrast with the Purple and Yellow. It wasn't a hard Sketch but I did find it difficult to use when I was combining everything. But I managed :)

For Challenge #99 Lace and Pearls I used white lace to enhance the Sketch from the week before and pearls on the leaves which I thought set it off simply and elegantly.

For THIS WEEKS Challenge on Corrosive was the Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. I guess your could say I reused the tulips as they were just sitting there not really being used but the real recycle item was the yellow ribbon from and organza bag I was going throw out. I decided it was perfect because it was yellow for an earlier challenge and it was part of this weeks challenge...aaaaahhaaaaa...lol....I'm so clever sometimes..lol J/K..I did have to flat iron the wrinkles out so the bow would sit properly and that was not easy because the ribbon is a thin organza and so I put it between a piece of cotton material and away I went :)

So there is the story behind this card for the week...lol.. :) I hope you all enjoyed it.

My New Venture!

Hey everyone!

I know it's been awhile since I've posted but life got in the way like usual. I have a new Venture to share with you all! I've been accepted to be on Janet's Challenge Blog!!! Yay!! Now I've never been on any DT team before so I'm really excited to get started on the challenges and be a part of her DT. You really need to check it out. The challenge entries are gorgeous, and it's obvious enough these ladies are very talented! You really need to check it out and join right in with the fun!

I've been trying to fix this photo for some time now because ti came out so blurry. I made this for a Yummy Swap.

I made two different ones, and this one came out the clearest for some reason...I must've had the wrong setting on my camera :(

oh well. I the Studio Sketches from SU! which I love btw...and used Prisma Colored pencils to color the image and the applied crystal effects for that perfect shine!

Whaddya think ?
