craft meet on may 31st

Had a great meet, not as many turned up today so there was plenty of space for those of us that did. The weather was very hot today and i think it was putting us crafters off slightly, even i only managed one card today and that was the challenge card.

Anyway here are the pics of our challenge cards, it was a sketch which was created by loretta fromthe do crafts forum for her mionday challenge, we were late entering but better late than never i suppose,

thanks for the template loretta

Anyway it was due to Angies visit that we had a whole weekend of crafting, we had a challenge on both days, one was a sketch challenge and the other was a goody bag challenge. For the goody bag challenge we had to pick a bag out and make a card which contained everthing in the bag, the bags had, 2 backing papers, ribbon, brads and a stamped image.

On the sunday we also had a stamping up demonstrator attend, we all got to make a card using the stamping up stamps .

craft meet challenge

At our craft meet on Sunday(12 April) we were challenged by Patsi and Sara, to make a springy card for a man which was our theme for the meet, using, backing paper, 2 brads black or brown and a die cut. Everything had to be done from scratch and we had 1 hour to make it.

The criteria changed slightly as we only had 1 template for the group, to a card shape that we wouldn't normally make.

here are our efforts

we all managed to meet the challenge
