Today I'd like to tell you about one of my enjoyments when I'm not working....I love to craft and make cards. I have been doing this for years now and there is always something new to try. I'm lucky enough to share this hobby with my mum and several good friends so each month we get as many craft days in as we can where we sit and make our own creations whilst having a good chat about new ideas. We help each other with hints and tips and share our dies, papers and anything else we have to hand. All this is done over a few cuppas and the odd bit of cake or biscuit!! I do find when I am sitting creating cards for people that I don't tend to snack, so its also good to find a hobby you enjoy if you are trying to diet. Knitting and crochet are also things that I enjoy where I can't keep nibbling.
This is a recent card that I made for a friend. I always like to be given a challenge and I haven't been defeated yet with anything I've been asked. This friend wanted a card with '30', 'Happy Birthday', fishing theme and recipients name on the front. On the inside they wanted their greeting, which they gave to me, but wanted it printed upside down! This is obviously a standing joke with them and I was able to oblige with no problem. See that's the difference between shop bought cards and ones that are handmade. The recipient would have received this card for his special birthday and would not have had anything else similar and it would also have a special meaning to it. I certainly hope he liked it and that it made him chuckle.
Please look out for other cards that I will post about. You may also like to follow my card page that I have on Facebook. This can be found at Glittergirl Handmade Cards & Gifts. Please stop by and say hello any time.
Have a lovely day, bye for now. Please come back again soon.
