Style or No style?

Docrafts 31 Day Blog Prompt

Day 4

So today we have been asked to talk about the style of crafting we do.  Now this could mean, what kinds of things do I like to make or it could mean am I a tidy crafter.....or not?

First of all, let's get something cleared up ............I AM NOT A TIDY CRAFTER !   I have to admit it, because I have a lady who comes and helps me in the house and I won't repeat what she says to me sometimes after I've had a really busy crafty time.......it's just a pity there are no emocions in blogger otherwise I'd have to use the one that wags a finger at me!!!!!!!

My style of crafting is interesting (for me anyway) because sometimes I make girlie things and other times I make steampunk things, and i have been known to bleach and screw up paper just to make it look used.

My favourite style has to be STEAMPUNK

The reason I like it is because it is so versatile and you can use anything from newspaper to string to ribbon and buttons all on the one card.....fabulous!!

I also love making word cards, using the names of people:  Like this one:

and of course it has to have a tag:

I particularly love the word cards as they can be personalised with photographs and all sorts of things that means something to person receiving it.

Then there are downloads:  I just love using downloads to make cards with:

Here are a few downloads I bought and made:

Having just done the above, I have realised that there are no children's cards here.  Well, that must be what I should try and do more of I suppose.  But I really love making cards for people in general.

I do have another side to me, however, that many people won't know about, and that's my faith...I am a Christian so that can come over in verses I compose for my cards, but usually only if asked.....I am not going to preach at you, so don't worry, but I make Christian cards for people too:

Not forgetting that I make posters, but I don't have photographs of them as they are usually done to commission and are gone very quickly to their owners.  Here is a picture of an image I used and then put writing over the top:

I put the word THANKS near the bottom of this image, written in White Dakota font.  I use quotes and scripture to make posters out of too.

I know this is not about what I make, but what style I use, and I suppose that I am trying to say my style varies with what is ordered.  I just don't make something because I like it, I make something hoping that someone else is going to fall in love with it.

I will finish with this one:  I love making stepper cards and tend to make all my Christmas ones in various forms of steppers.  This is a Special Day card in Regency style.

So, I will end by saying that I have no idea what style of crafting I do..........anyone out there care to give it a guess??

Love and hugs

See you tomorrow
