Nurses cards

The Kards for kids design team is awesome but our work wouldn't be able to reach the intended recipients if it wasn't for the amazing nurses at the hospital for sick kids in Toronto. So as a thank you for doing what they do and going the the extra mile to give out our cards we decided to make them some thank you for all your hard work cards. Here are some of mine.

December fun

Wow December rushed by! My recovering/reorganizing after the craft show, my fiance had his birthday, Kards for kids, secret santa gifts and of course the regular holiday run around made it such a hectic month. But new month, new year and a chance to do better :)
But before the new we have to finish the old, recaps her i come.

First craft show success

This weekend Craftscapes did our very first craft show! Hosted by Ingleside H-0 school the show ran friday from 4-8 and saturday from 10-4. The craft show was a success but overall a learning experience. Right now I'm trying to put things away and get organized again but hope to be back to my regulsr posting scheduale soon. Stay crafty my friends :)

A 30th birthday

I almost forgot to show you! In the middle of all my craft show prep madness I sometimes have to stop and participate in the real world lol. Usually its for a good occassion such as my fiance's cousins' 30th birthday party. I of course made the card, but my fiance wanted to help so he contributed by finding a superhero/wrestling type image for the inside of the card. I find birthday cards for guys more challenging then for girls, but love the opportunity to challenge myself.  Below are the pictures of the card I made. Crafty friends I would love to see examples of other great cards for guys either you have found or done yourself :)

Where did November go?

Hi my crafty friends, if any of you know where November went can you please let me know? It seems like yesterday that it was Halloween.  Sorry for the lack of posts life got in the way of crafting for a bit. Dont you hate it when that happens? What crafty time I did get was spent getting ready for a craft show! I will be participating in my very first craft show the last weekend of November. So needless to say I have been busting my but trying to get things done in time. Have any of you done a craft show before?  If not have you visited one?  What things did people do that stood out to you? Any input from my crafty friends would be great!
