Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s time for a new challenge over at Alphabet – we’re up to G this time and Meg has asked us to use green or gold (can you guess which one I went for…?). I’ve gone for a quick and easy design with this card, as I’ve combined it with… Read More G is for green
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m sitting here watching tennis at Wimbledon, so had to go wiht strawberries for this card! I also took inspiration from a couple of challenges with the layout from Freshly Made Sketches. I’ve picked up the theme of ‘farmhouse chic’ from TGIF challenges – I love homemade strawberry jam, and… Read More strawberries just for you
Welcome to my crafty blog. I treated myself to another new set of stamps, ‘Pretty Perennials’, that were reduced to half price by Stampin’ Up! as they are about to be retired.

That might seem a bit odd, given that I’ve used the sketch and inspiration photo from Fusion Card Challenge where… Read More you’ve got a friend
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card using my new favourite stamps – the ‘pansy patch’ from Stampin’ Up! It’s been a busy day today, so just time for a quick post to share this one – I’ve gone for some of my favourite summer pansy colours as well. I started by embossing one… Read More summer pansies
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses the same background colours as I did yesterday – I really liked the blend of them together and thought they worked well for beach colours. I’ve worked with three current challenges to produce this card. I took the layout from Freshly Made Sketches, but rotated it as… Read More love you to the beach and back
Welcome to my crafty blog, and a new challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. It’s a sketch this week, and my second one as their guest design team member for June.
