Happy Easter! 



Easter!

So It's Easter Sunday here in the UK, this weekend was supposed to be with the family in Wales but due to Lock-down it will be spent at home with the Husband eating chocolate and cooking the roast (My first time cooking roast Lamb so wish me luck it's in the slow cooker right now). It's been a busy week of card making so my makes this week!

I did a few toppers for Easter, the colours are a little off on the photo.

Welcome to Craft Your Hart Out


Who am I?

Hello there, I'm Sarah and I started this blog for my craft creations. I've always wanted to start a blog and I have finally started! WooHoo! I live in Shropshire with my husband and I am addicted to crafting (much to my husbands dismay!) I do many different crafts although I primarily make cards I also make beaded jewelry, create 3D objects with my brother scan and cut, mixed media projects, costume making, and mixed media projects. You will see a few of these other projects pop up on the blog but as I said it will mainly be cards :)

I'm a big old nerd loving Japanese animation, Disney, comics and all the other cliche geekyness! 



How often will I be posting?

I plan on trying to make this a weekly updated blog. I'll post about any challenges that I may be taking part in and also will be setting up a few of my own :) 

I will try to do a few step by step card making posts showing techniques I use in my card making. I will also list everything I use for each card I post. Please feel free to ask questions if you have any.

What to expect!

Well I have posted a few pictures up (mainly from recent challenges I have done). I hope you will come and check out my future posts! They will start from this coming Sunday (12th April) and hopefully continue every Sunday! It will be Easter themed as it is Easter Sunday!
