My Hydrangea Range!

Hi...

I wanted to share with you a new 'range' of cards I make...The Hydrangea Range. Hydrangeas are probably my FAVOURITE plant! I have planted a garden of hydrangeas in my front yard and can't wait til they bloom in Spring. I thought it would be fun to try to copy their flowers onto a card and here are my results...


Don't forget to enter my giveaway which is ending on Tuesday next week!

The Expo and my giveaway...

Hello!

The Handmade Expo has come and gone now. It was a pretty good day but had some rain on and off, which kept mum and I on our toes. Thankfully nothing got damaged.

Thanks to everyone who visited my stall, especially to the first-timers who read my blog and decided to come! Was so good to see you there!

(sorry about the picture below..was my only decent photo)



Ok...I thought I'd let you know that my giveaway will be happening this afternoon...I'm very excited about it and hopefully you'll take part!

I'll be back soon.........

February Handmade Markets

Well, it's market time again...the first one for 2010! The Handmade Expo will be held at the Ipswich Turf Club in Bundamba this Saturday (20th Feb) from 8am til 2pm. Entry is FREE and as of this market, the Swanbank Steam Train will be taking long and short trips from the Turf Club...what a great day out!!

There's just one other thing I'd like to let you in on....in the next few weeks I'll be having a
GIVE AWAY!! So keep checking this space....

Getting ready for 2010!!

HI! Here are a few a my favourite new cards I've made. I'm LOVING making owl cards. My 4 year old son helped pick the colours to make the large blue owl card.

I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to the new year!

Next year....

Hi everyone...

Exciting news...

In January next year I will be starting in a new direction with my cards. I have had many suggestions of how to expand my 'hobby' and have decided to start 'Card Parties'. This involves me traveling to peoples houses/work venues, taking all my cards and also everything I need for people to make their own cards. I already have 5-6 parties in the making, which is very exciting! If any of you are interested in having a party let me know. I don't mind how far away you live...including the sunshine coast (Jodi!).

Also, just like Tupperwear parties, I also have host incentives and offers!!

It's a great excuse to have a girlie night/afternoon too.

Just send me an email to katescorner1@gmail.com or leave me a comment on this post if you're interested.

The market is at the Bundamba Turf club and starts at 8am AND the entry is now FREE!! I will be bringing all my usual cards PLUS over 150 Christmas cards. It would be great to see you there....

CHRISTMAS...

Hi!

It's been a very long time since I've posted anything, especially any photos of my cards. Sorry. have been busy making my Christmas cards, getting ready to sell them at my card workshop, the next Handmade Expo on 21st November, schools and to family and friends.

Josh, the boys and I have also been living in my parents home, in 'limbo land' waiting for settlement to happen on our home but once we move in I hope to be able to show you my Christmas cards before the markets.


Kate

HELLO!

Wow, it's been a very long time since I've come on and posted any cards or messages. Sorry. Life has been very busy with sick children. I think we are out of the woods now so I can get back into making cards and getting ready for the next Handmade Expo. This expo has changed venue so here are the details....It will be on Saturday 26th September from 8am-2pm at the Ipswich Turf Club which on Brisbane Road, Bundamba. I'm very excited to see how the outdoor market goes! I'll let you know.

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully I'll have time to post some of my new cards soon!

Kate

Looking ahead...

Hi there..well the Warwick Handmade Expo has come and gone. It was a great experience, though VERY COLD! I'm now starting to look ahead towards Christmas because that is my busiest time.

I'm looking at running a Card Making Workshop in the month of september, so if you are interested in attending please let me know. I already have ladies interested, I'm just needing to put a date to it. I'm thinking it will be Christmas focused. I know that it is early to be thinking of Christmas, but I thought that it would give you enough time to then make more of your own.

Well on that note, I'll leave you.

Til next time.

CARDS

I have been making cards ALL DAY! Lots of FUN! Here are just 5 of my new cards...

Getting busy...

After a very successful stall at the Handmade Expo in Ipswich I have under 2 weeks to get my stocks back up so life in the Mansfield house is all about cards! Even Josh is getting in to improve my work space by bringing home another desk and shelves! It's funny how my things have already filled up the new space and I'm still looking for places to put things.

ANYWAY...the next market I'm attending is The Handmade Expo in WARWICK for the Jumpers and Jazz Festival on the 18th July. Should be loads of fun!

I'll hopefully post some new cards that I'll be selling, in the next few days....

Time to rest...

Now that the June Handmade Expo is over it's time for myself and my 4 men (1 big one, 3 little ones) to go and have some fun together. We'll be away for a week so I won't be able to reply to any emails until I get back.

Thanks to everyone who visited my stall at the expo. I had a blast!

See you in 1 week!

HANDMADE EXPO - 27th June!

Well, there are only a few more days til the next Handmade Expo! Very exciting! I've been busy making more cards to build up my supply. I thought I'd share a few new cards that will be on sale at the markets on saturday.

It would be fantastic if you could come and check out this growing market. Make a morning of it...you won't be disappointed!

Be Nurtured Camp is over..

Well, Be Nurtured camp has finished and what fun it was doing the card making elective! I had 25 ladies over 2 days sit and create there own cards and from the looks of it had a great time!

Now I'm looking forward to the next Handmade Expo on the 27th June at the Ipswich Show grounds. Visit http://www.thehandmadeexpo.blogspot.com for more information on this market. Hope to see you there!

More creations from my corner...

Be Nurtured Camp!

I'm really looking forward to this coming weekend. I've got most things ready for my card elective and have been busy making more cards. Here are a few I've made. If you know of anyone coming to the camp I'd really appreciate it if you could pass on my blog site to show them what they could make in my elective. Thank you.
