Handmade Gift Making

If you are interested in making handmade gifts, there are plenty of resources available to help you get started. Here are some tips to consider:

  1. Choose a project that matches your skill level. If you are new to crafting, start with something simple like a handmade card or a personalized keychain. I made tbis card using a digital download kit.

  2. Consider the recipient's interests and preferences when choosing a project. For example, if they love to read, you could make them a bookmark. I made these simply by cuttingcout an image and then laminating it so it will last longer. My friend was delighted with it.

  3. Gather all the necessary materials before starting your project. This will save you time and make the process smoother.

  4. Take your time and enjoy the process. Handmade gifts are a labor of love, and the recipient will appreciate the effort you put into making something special just for them.

  5. Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice. There are many online communities and forums dedicated to crafting, where you can connect with others and get tips and inspiration.

Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process of creating something unique and special for someone you care about.

Ebay Finds

Like many other crafters i like a bargain. I don't always have a huge amount of money to buy supplies  so it id always good when I can find a bargain.

I have started checking out ebay for digital bargains and have found quite a few recently. I got this for £5 and it was worth every penny. The papers on it are beautiful. I am presently making a V8ntage Christmas Memory Book using this cdrom. I am a great fan of Joanna Sheen. This triple cdrom was also £5. I have lots of plans for this one. I am a great fan of anything Oriental. Joanna Sheen again. It suddenly struck me that I dont have anything with a baby theme. What would I do if someone asked me for a baby card, or a baby book. So of course I took to ebay again. Now if someone asks me gor something for a new arrival I am ready. Crafters Companion brought out this cdrom a few ...

Celticmoon Crafts

    I started Celticmoon Crafts quite a few years ago now. As a passionate crafter I wanted to share my ideas with others, so I started to design my own craft sheets.         This is one of my favorite design sheets. I love anything Oriental.       I produced 20 card making CDroms, covering a range of subjects. This was one of my first CDroms. I love digital crafting. Its much more economical than buying ready printed sheets. If you run put just print another sheets.

He gets a lot of undeserved bad publicity in my opinion.     I've done a lot of craft fairs in the past.  Sometimes they are very very good and sometimes very very bad. I have been to craft fairs where I have sold loads, and I have been to ...
