About my project supply lists:
I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I've used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list. I link to several stores in the UK and US and as of July 1, 2017 I am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, Amazon UK, Ellen Hutson (store retiring), and (as of April 2022) The Greetery - this means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund. Finally, please note that any products marked "(r)" are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.

The curse of dark evenings...

Well, it looks like it's official now - the evenings are now too dark for me to get decent pics of any craft projects. My craft lamp can only do so much!

This week's DCM dare was to feature spiders on your card. So after panicked phone calls to a Halloween-stash-buddy I ended up going with plan B and making my own feltie spider from scratch. No mean feat for somebody with zero hand-sewing skills!

Here's the pic I managed to get in daylight conditions - much better! And although you can't quite make out the detail on Mr spider, he is a plush feltie filled with cotton wool no less. I made the body from two Spellbinders ovals and the legs are from a mini MFT flag pole die. Very handy I must say!

Paper: Doodlebug
Alpha buttons: Doodlebug
Thickers: American Crafts
Dies: Spellbinders, MFT, Sizzix
Glitter stickers: Doodlebug, KI Memories
Other: Felt, thread, goggly eyes, 3D foam, corner chomper

It was a bit of a battle to fit all the letters on there! And Mr spider also is only attached by the thread so he can swish about a bit.

Hope the birthday girl likes it, must say it is most handy to have someone who has a birthday on Halloween and loves all things Halloween-y!

Well, if I do manage any crafting this weekend then I shall definitely have to get my cards photographed this weekend!
