About Me

I never thought I would get into blogging, but I thought I would give it a go. Crackers Boutique has been a plan for a while, the business is ran by my mum (Lorraine) and I. We have always been sewing together since I was young, however its only in the past 5 years or so that we have picked it back up into scale and we have made a number of quilts. My first Niece , mums first Grandchild Olivia came along 4 years ago and we have made a number of items for her over the years and this is what has inspired this company. I have always been a bit "crafty" as I like to call myself. My true love has always been stationary and fabric. So when I got into card making and quilting it felt like everything all fell into place and I became addicted to crafting. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my blog. Please feel free to follow me.

Despicable Me Minon card

Happy Bank Holiday weekend everyone, it's the last on of the year (before Christmas that is) so make the most of it.

What have you got planned?

I am making lots of cards, as I am going to selling my cards in a shop near Spinningfields, this is the first time I have done anything like this so I am a bit nervous, but also very excited. :)

I was asked by a friend on facebook, to make her a baby card which I shared with you guys last week and she was looking for a Big Brother card. I absolutely love the little minons and thought I would try and duplicate this on the front of a card. 


I hope you like

Thanks for reading and have a good bank holiday weekend. 

No doubt I will be posting a few more of my creations this weekend. Please comment, it would be nice to get some feedback.

Thanks

Latest owl birthday card



Morning all, 

I made this owl card last night and absolutely love it. There is no better feeling when you give it to the recipient and they love it also.

I have recently fallen off the stampin up demonstrator and keep think about joining again. Anybody have some tips on how to get a company up and running again.

Thanks 

Sam
