Crafts Beautiful - Quick & Crafty - Let's Make Cards Magazine

Toughie one for me as I go through “boredom” phases where I want to do something else.  At the moment I love cardmaking, but am still enjoying sewing, knitting, and eggcrafting.

Drawing!
I don’t like colouring, but I love colour, and to look like a final piece it needs it! So I’d say painting, but really i mean sketching I RARELY look at my subject matter when Im colouring, so i make up the colours and tonal work! But if you wanted something exactly realistic, you could take a photo, i think i put my own spin on my work.

Cardmaking using ribbons or lace, i just love the way something can be made ornate, without using paininthebum paintbrushes! I also love selecting colour combinations

Scrapbooking for me But I also love card making, dabble in a bit of altered art & have just ventured into the world of ATC’s. I also sometimes do a spot of knitting.....although I started a scarf last year & just found it half finished the other day...so really must finish it off

Love my cardmaking and always shall do....this will never change! But I am new now to ATCs andbbokmarks and really love doing these too.

I think it is still cardmaking first for me. I don’t think boredom will ever really set in with papercrafting as there are always different techniques to try out. LOL..after 5 years of cardmaking I have only just started getting into stamping..(and treating yourself to new stash is always fun!!)

My longtime craft love will have to be knitting, it what I did originally when I was very young and only really gave up when the kiddies came along. Slowly it is creeping back into my life again!

(I would love more time to dabble with beading and also scrapping without feeling guilty!)

I’ve tried all sorts, and tend to have “phases” when I’m particularly keen on one type of craft more than others. It’s been cardmaking for ages now, though I keep looking at my dollshouse and meaning to put some wiring in for lights.... Mind you - I went to a wedding fair today for ideas and now I really want to extend my jewellery-making skills and make a tiara for my Big Day. Now where do I start....?

Knitting,knitting and more knitting

Well it’s just cardmaking for me at the moment, I don’t think I have any room left in the house to take up another hobby lol. Margaretxxx

As Jules says I go through phases. But my all time favs are fruggle crafting/recycling,cardmaking, scrapbooking, altered art and sewing and tons of associated techniques to go with each. Quilling is what got me craft obsessed in the first place. Although I have always dabbled since being a child. My Dad found my very first self made/designed sewing project in his garage when he was having a sort out last year. I remember making it like it was only yesterday. I am not able to hang it up though because my OH is one of those people that is scared of clowns. Do you remember the test card they used to have on before 24 hour tv, with the girl with long hair pinifore and headband ? She had a wierd freaky looking clown sat on her knee. Well my OH used to have nightmares about that clown chasing him when he was little and hates them now. I like making art dolls but I can’;t make them too wierd or if I do I have to hide them or give them away as they really do give him the creeps as well. I wanted to make some Raggeddy Annies and a Raggedy Andy for my pickles but I wasn’t allowed to. He said they would meet with an unfortunate accident if I made them   Men eh

Hands up now if my OH isn’t the only one with a clown complex ?

As I am going to sneek my creation out and post a pic, let it see the light of day but I wouldn’t want to scare anybody

Clowns don’t do anything for me one way or the other but my daughter is terrified of them LOL!

I think they are cute I don’;t understand it myself. But I suppose things seem different to you when your a child and something scares you. That chucky doll freaked me out though lol

Definately Scrapbooking & Cardmaking for me!!

scrapbooking or making mini books. the whole memory keeping thing appeals as i do a lot of family history research
