Goodness me, where does the time go? I seem to have been so busy with things I never seem to have time to blog. Busy yes, but do I ever do anything interesting enought to chat about....Nope sorry busy but boring....! I went to the Harrogate paper extravanganza last weekend, that was great, it never ceases to amaze me how many of us love this craft, the place was heaving. I can't say there was anything new and exciting there unfortunatly. Something did cross my mind while I was wandering around, exactly what do we class as handmade? I felt some of the products on sale are aimed at people who want to make a 'handmade' card but really don't want to do any of the work. There seems to be so many pre prepared, ready cut, stuff to just stick on a card even with instructions of exactly where to stick it! I know I cheat myself too I use a big shot to emboss and cut out some shapes. I use printed images such as Pink petticoat, or images from google but that's is because I am useless and can't draw, a flaw I am sure many of us have, I really wish I could. Sometimes a quick card is needed and yes I can see the point of these ready made toppers and things for that but really what is 'handmade' and what is just 'assembly'?
and on that note, here are two Pink Petticoat ones I made earlier....!!!!
