October freaky Cards

These are this months cards for Sian's monthly card swap on UKS. The theme this month was freaky, with optional requirements of using warm autumnal colours and to grunge it up. They are not quite as distressed as Id hoped but I was still really pleased with them.

Halloween Coasters

Ive not been posting as much of late, I seem to have a lot less time for crafting and when I do Ive gotten out of the habit of blogging. However here is my set of Halloween coasters done for a swap on UKS.

I saw that this swap was running and saw some cork tiles in hobbycraft this got me thinking about making a functional coaster, I did my research and found this -lhttp://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/how-to-make-coasters.html 
I sourced my materials and had a go. I loved the glossy finish on them. The swap wasn't intended I now realise to be about functioning coasters but a decorative item, with people planning on making books and hangings with theirs I do hope putting a cup of tea on mine in their craft space isn't a disappointment. Thanks Rebbecca for a lovely swap I look forward to receiving mine soon.

A couple of pictures which sadly fail to show just how glossy they are.
