MY FIRST SALE!!!
I had been telling friends in work that I had started making cards and they ask me to bring some in so that they could have a look. I was a bit shy but thought 'sure why not'!! So I brought in a selection and was pleasantly surprised when one of the girls ordered 5 cards!!!! 5, I couldn't believe it.....I was sooooooo chuffed, especially as 2 of the 5 she wanted were my more unusual cards, that I thought no one but me would like.
One of the cards she asked for was a baby congradulations card for a friend that was due to give birth. As she didn't know what her friend was having she asked for neutral but cute!!! I had just got another Penny Black hedgehog stamp (how cute is this little guy) from Crafty Angels so I decided to make a card using him and went for a colour theme of Lemon and Green.
I decided to use the card as my entry to this weeks challenge over at The Crafty Angels Blog. The challenge this week is 'Buttons and Bling', two things I LOVE LOVE using on any project!!! So I added some glitter card stock which I matted hedgie on and some gems as my bling, as well as some little yellow buttons.
My friend Ann was delighted with the card and I was thrilled to make my first sale!!!!
thanks for looking
Congratulations on your first sale and wow what a cute little card!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Char, and now there'll be no stopping those orders coming in - I am not surprised they wanted to buy, because your cards are clean and neat and I think you will do very well.
ReplyDeletethanks for helping yesterday - it was great to meet you and I am sure there will be lots more crafting and nattering going on over the next few months
