Cool Christmas

I was in a groove of making Christmas cards a few weeks ago and I had made about three different ones before I realized they were ALL made with cool colours so I figured I might as well continue... Anyway, I've finally managed to get them up here and I'm putting them in for a few challenges.
The Christmas challenge with Heart 2 Heart.
The Just Us Girls Challenge this week is for embossing and two of these cards have that technique.
Over at Casual Fridays the challenge is to use knots (see ribbons below).
Hope you enjoy and thanks so much for checking them out! :)

Craft Fair

I gave my first craft fair a try this past weekend here at Providence Farm. I shared a table with my mom selling her awesome home-made chemical free soaps. Check out her website here: http://www.kathyssimplysoap.com/J%26K_Homecrafts/Welcome.html. She kicked my craft fair butt! Lol. Her and her soaps are much more well known from their popularity and her doing the Saturday Market here in Duncan every weekend. My craft was my cards of course, and my brimmed toques. Apparently it wasn't as busy as it can be and I most certainly can't say I'm rich now, but it was a great learning experience and I had fun. Send me a message if you'd like some cards or a snazzy toque!
