Lots of new stuff!

Well, my run of craft fairs is over - so no more mad panic to get things done! Unfortunately I didn't sell quite as much as I'd hoped on Saturday, which means I've got lots to upload to my MISI store! Have added lots of new items over the last couple of days, and still have hair bands, brooches and cards to go!

These are 2 items that I wasn't sure I'd be able to part with, I love them so much! The butterfly money box is just too girly for words, and the desk tidy, well pink, purple, lime and black - my fave colours!

Check out all my new items here http://www.loobycrafts.misi.co.uk/ I'm nearing 200 sales on MISI now, and as soon as that happens, I'll be posting a BIG giveaway on here - so watch this space!!

I'm still alive!

Sorry I haven't updated in ages - but I've been so busy (not complaining though - it's great!)

So what have I been up to since my last post?

Well on Saturday 20th I spent the day at the Pickleberry Papercrafts crop - Kate has started a sketch challenge and you can see my examples on her blog here, the challenge runs for a month and there's a chance to win a prize - fingers crossed!

Then on the Monday I was back down there for a class with Jane - the first of a series of technique classes, and this one was Doodling. Jane was a fab teacher - she broke everything down into simple steps, and we all came away with a fab little tag book filled with doodles as a little reference guide - I haven't had time to finish colouring mine and photograph it yet, but will do soon!

Then this weekend was the first of my run of events! Friday I attended a Pamper Evening at my old school, it was a bit rubbish to be honest, but I made a profit so that's the main thing. Then Saturday I was at a primary school for a Summer Fayre - this one was much better - 3 hours out in the glorious sunshine (and yes I did get burnt!) and my stuff proved really popular - especially notebooks.

I'm now manically trying to make stuff to restock for A Makey Do on 11th July in Sandwich (pop and along and say hi if you're in the area) and a summer fete on the 18th - and I've just had an order through MISI for 10 notebooks!

Well done if you made it to the end of this post - will try not to leave it so long next time! I'll leave you with a pic of my stall from the weekend!

Nesties!

I've wanted some Spellbinders Nestabilities for ages, so was very pleased when I went down to Pickleberry Papercrafts a couple of weeks ago and found out Kate was stocking them (they are available to buy online too!)

After a quick demo from Kate I was more than convinced and bought Labels One and asked Kate to order me in Labels Four.

Well Labels four arrived last week, and I couldn't believe just how little the smallest die is! Just to prove it:

So Kate challenged me to make a card with it, and never one to back out on a challenge, here is the result:

So the next issue was storing them, a quick search on ebay for self adhesive magnetic sheets and voila! Problem solved: (see there are benefits to not having a beautifully decorated craft room - you can stick stuff on the walls without caring!)

I'm down at Pickleberry again on Saturday for the crop, so watch this space there may be more nesties appearing soon!!

Busy busy busy!

It really has been all go here at Looby Crafts HQ this week!! My first event is coming up on the 26th, so I'm busy making lots of stock, ordering more carrier bags and business cards etc. and I've had several custom orders too!

So if you're after a special card or gift - contact me for a custom order!

Only 2 layouts?!

Well I spent Saturday at Pickleberry again, but only managed a very poor 2 layouts (oh and a card) - a combination of lack of mojo, and too much chatting to Kate!!

This first one I did using the Nonsense papers from We R Memory Keepers (just love these!) the picture was taken last week, when Todd decided to have a snooze on my desk WHILST I was working!! Thank god Yorkie's don't shed their hair!! Ash came up with the title for this one - he's a big Scooby do fan!

The second one is from the new Juicy Fruit kit from Crafty Templates, I love this kit, it's full of really different stuff, including some kawaii goodies which I just adore (and already have a BIG stash of thanks to Etsy!)

Last night I started a fab little mini book with this kit too, but that's going to have to go on hold as I've just had some custom orders come in!

Lots of new items!

Have added lots of new items to my MISI store over the last couple of days - more cards, gift boxes, clipboards, trinket boxes, trays etc.

By far my favourite is this card I made last night using the gorgeous Mermaid Anya from the Greeting Farm - loving Anya with pink hair!
