Linkage

Posted by Becca on Jun 4, 2010 in craft, links

For all you crafty girls (and boys!) out there I wanted to share the following with you!

I hope this works!
Craftsuprint is a lovely little website for getting inspiration, and buying products as well, you can pay to download the images you like and the artist who created it gets a commission. As well as this they run an affiliate programme, which I have signed up too. So if you buy anything through any of my links then I will also recieve a small commission, which is lovely for me too.

If you are an artist (I know many of my friends are!) and would like to, you can also submit your designs to the site for people to buy. How cute is that?

Finally, there is also a competition, regularly, to find crafty bob, he is hidden somewhere on the pages and if you are the first person to find him you can win a cash prize! So if you are looking for somewhere new to find craft inspiration and decoupage sheets please check out craftsuprint through one of my links!

Bitten by the crafty bug!

Posted by Becca on May 28, 2010 in craft

So you know I make jewellery right? Well just recently I’ve come over all crafty licious! I’m dying to turn my hand to all sorts of new things, this doesn’t bode well for my bank balance, or my time, but it’s one of those things that happens to me every now and then.

So, I started off with my mini clipboards which I adore, and can’t wait to send one to Han in her next letter (it’s not a secret so I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing! My sister will also be getting one as part of her belated birthday presents. (again, not a secret!)

I’ve also been perusing loads of craft blogs – there are soooooo many ideas!

One of my favourites at the moment is dollar store crafts I’m a HUGE fan of the pound shop (our UK equivalent!) and am so jealous that they have so much cooler stuff in there dollar stores over in the States, but there are so many cool ideas of things to make whilst spending very little cash… check it out!

I’m also loving Chic’ n Scratch which I found whilst looking for coasters to decorate. The woman who runs it is amazing and also a stampin up consultant… Must… resist….stampin up…

Finally I love the UK Craft Forum for chatting with like minded UK based crafters, I’m sparklybec if you fancy finding me!

So hopefully look out for some new projects soon, and maybe I’ll even brave a tutorial at some point!

I’ve also booked in to do another craft fair in Norwich on 17th July! Fingers crossed this one goes well

Day 27 of 1001

Posted by Becca on Apr 25, 2010 in 101 things, personal

So, it has been a while! We’re now into Day 27 of my 1001 day challenge, and where are we?

I think I can tick off number 2, Han has said that she will be my penpal, her first card and birthday present are winging their way to her as we speak.

I’ve got a few things that need to be done for the one a month things, including having a date with Dave, taking a photo of us together, my laptop regularly backs up, which means that one is on track too,

As for learning to drive, its ok, I’m desperate to book my test now, and then I’ll feel really good, but I still need a lot of practise, I’ll get there I’m sure, I just want to be there already!

I’m doing my first craft fair on 9th May:

I’m both nervous and excited, but need to get loads of stuff made, as currently I’m down to about 10 pairs of earrings! But I’ve got a day off on Friday, so will hopefully get some bits made then.
