In 2011 I have decided to get back into card making, as well as knitting and making sock monkeys of course!
This card was created using a Stampavie stamp, the squares are cut using a cuttlebug and one of the label sets. The greetings comes from one of craftwork cards set. I really enjoyed doing something bright and colourful after so many christmas cards! I will be starting on some valentines cards soon I think, and hopefully joining in some blog challenges if I can make the time!

The K Factor

So Harry Hill has launched his new competition called the K Factor and this is my entry!

Wish me luck!

Ive also made my very own knitted character so Harry doesnt get lonely!

New listings

Just been making monkeys tonight :)
Just added melvin, jaffa and liqorish to my folksy shop
http://www.folksy.com/shops/giraffecraft
Ive also added some new naughty sock monsters!!

Just finished my first craft fair

....well more of a school fair. But its the first one Ive done selling my toys, managed to seel about 15 monkeys and some furry monsters.
Means I have to do some speed sewing as my poor folksy shop and website are looking VERY empty!

FIRST SALE!!

After considering my move from Etsy, I seem to have confirmed Folksy definatly seems to be better as Ive just had my first sale! :D
Might keep a few items at Etsy though, after I reopen my shop after christmas seen as no items can get to the USA before.

Move from Etsy?

Ive now decided that because I live in the UK I might move to Folksy rather than ETSY as it seems easier regarding postage etc..

In other news...
Monty and Narna have both got a new home :)
Berry however is waiting to be relisted on Folksy but has to wait till the weekend.
