At the weekend I had a nice card order to get ready for Halo Gift in Whitley Bay. Halo is a great
little gift shop and cafe in the town where I live and Im over the moon that they are stocking my
cards. This summer Ian is stocking lots of goods from local artists and designers which I think is a
wonderful idea, there are lots of talented people in the North East.

All my cards are printed at home which means I have to cut them all out and stick any necessary
buttons on to them. I spent saturday afternoon doing this and singing along to the Ministry of Sound
80s electronica CD. Its a good job its a triple CD as I was there a while!

Here are the cards all laid out and ready to be made, coloured buttons at the ready!

The buttons have been added to the cards...

A finished and wrapped (apart from the buttons ones which have to be left overnight to dry and stick)

A welcome tea (and cake) break!

And finally here are my card in Halo...
