Christmas scene


I bought a few stamps last year from an online craft shop which was closing down. This is one of them from a company called Sleek Designs. I stamped it with brown ink into kraft and then added some snow using a Wink of Stella white sparkle pen. The embossed panel was one I saved from a Christmas card we received, I rarely keep anything from old Christmas cards but I thought this was worth recycling. The backing paper is from the Enchanted Christmas pack from Hobbycraft and I added some wooden snowflakes keeping the design simple.

Thankfully most craft fairs we do are only 4 or 5 hours but the one at the hospital is officially from 10-4.  However in order to park in the unloading area, get unloaded and then get a good parking space we get there about 7.30 so an early start today. Once we are set up of course staff are coming into work so we start selling well before 10.   Planning ahead we made a cottage pie last night whilst getting dinner so that just needs heating up when we get in and we only have to make some gravy to go with it as we make our cottage pie with lots of vegetables in it so no need for extra veg. Very little washing up either after a long day.

A beautiful card and love the stamped image. Great bauble image. Hope you have a good day at the hospital. We have our last one on Tuesday at The Cliff Hotel. Like the hospital hours, we have the same at the hotel. The garden centre was the worst, we had to be set up by 9am and ended at 5pm. But well worth doing. Hugs, Carol S.xx
