improve my card making skills

Yesterday I went to my first ever craft show! Fortunately I wasn’t thinking ahead too much and thus didn’t have enough cash with me (few of the stands took ccs) to go too mad ;) Came away with a few new things to play with, and a lot of inspiration – man, some of those examples were good!

So, plan now is to ease myself back into a bit of making before my next ‘big’ card is needed for a birthday at the end of May. I figure now is a perfect time to start on my Christmas cards by way of practice! And maybe a few birthday ones for a stash, so I don’t get caught out again like last week – if you’re known as a crafter, turning up with a bought card simply doesn’t cut it ;)

Hurrah for getting back into my hobbies! :)

I think perhaps before ‘improve’ I may need to work on not crafting in frantic, last-minute bursts! Still, the Christmas cards are away – and actually on last posting day, hurrah! – and they weren’t too awful for the rush.

Of course, it looks like Hobbycraft exploded in my flat. Pondering whether to tidy now, or wait and see if the apocalyptes does happen tomorrow ;)

Next year: more card making in general, build up a wee stash, and either be more prepared or be willing to send bought ones!! o_O
