Welcome to my crafty bloig, and another card using the ‘happy birthday’ stencil and star dies from Julie Hickey Designs. I’ve used the colours and sketch from CAS Colours and Sketches for this one – it’s such a pretty palette, although mine is a bit more muted than the challeneg colours as I don’t have… Read More sending happiness
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card using one of the new stamp sets from Julie Hickey Designs – the ‘floral blooms’.

Hello there. I’m back with another card using the new ‘daisy buttons’ stamnp set from Julie Hickey Designs.

Hello everyone. Just a short post this evening – I’m away for the weekend and can’t get an Internet connection in my hotel room so I’m blogging this on my phone (which I’ve never done before!). As I’ve typed that sentence, it’s struck me that’s a real ‘first world problem’, especially given then context of… Read More Hope for tomorrow
