All the fun of the fair


A friend asked me to make an anniversary card for her husband using some steam fair photos she had seen me use on a scrapbook page. The photos were taken at the Dorest Steam Fair a couple of years ago. I used an LOTV sentiment, some scrim from B&Q, La La Land heart banner and ME Dilly Dally papers.

Playing with Photos


My hubby has often suggested I should try making some cards using reduced size photos, especially for men's cards. I try to make card that appeal to as wide a rage of people as possible at craft fairs so decided to give it a go. I have seen several people sell cards made with prints of their photos but have never seen people use photos in this way. I have to say I am really pleased with the results and will be making some more of these. It will be interesting to see if they sell well.

I have used some Christmas papers for this one, MS zigzag punch, MB landscape die and card candi. The photo was taken at a Classic Car Show.


This photo was taken in New England. Papers from my use up pile, MFT dies, baker's twine, brads, PC created sentiment and LOTV grunge postcard.


The last card uses a photo from the local hydroplane and speedboat races. Papers are Docrafts Portobello Road. I added a Craftwork Cards sentiment and some faux leather.
