Update

Well, I haven't been very good with updating my blog, so here are some cards I have made.

Card Competition

Well, I have just entered the Crafts U Print Comp, so hopefully someone will like my card and give it a few votes. It is called "Ballet Girl" and looks like this:

Results from the show

Well, I was really pleased.  My items at the produce show did really well.  In the greetings card category, my Flower Fairies card came 2nd, my collage came 2nd in its class, my photo was 3rd and I was given Highly Commended for my glass painted jar.  I didn't get a place for my painting, but as it was my first attempt and was a step-by-step project from a book, I was not expecting anything.

Oliver gained 3rd place for his Lego Lighthouse.

Local Produce and Crafts Show

I have entered our village produce show!!  I know I won't win anything, but here are some pictures to show what I am entering (if you are passing St Peters Church at 2pm-5pm, pop in and vote for my stuff!!!!)

Greetings Card

Watercolour Painting

Photo entitled "Winter Sparkle"

Oliver's Lego Lighthouse

Item made from Recycled Materials (Glass jar & shoelace)

Collage entitled "Autumn"

This was made by taking 8 butterfly tiles and teabag folding them to make a rosette. I then added cut out butterflies to the edges.

The butterflies were on the Alan and Barrys Mosaic Marvels CD set and the words were printed using the other cd of the set.
