Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s time for a new letter over at the Alphabet Challenge and we’re on to X. Not an easy one, but Veronika has come up with ‘xanthic’, which means tending towards yellow (no, I didn’t know that either!). For me, yellow immediately said honey and bees (a real favourite), so… Read More X is for xanthic
Welcome to my crafty blog and a new letter over at Alphabet Challenge. Melanie has chosen ‘winter’ as the theme for W, which was very helpful in my goal of making a few Christmas cards each month this year. I love making little scenes on cards (a technique I first learned from Barbara Gray over… Read More W is for winter
Hello crafty friends. It’s time for another letter over at the Alphabet Challenge and we’re now up to V.

Hello crafty friends. Today’s post is a bit less rushed, with a new theme from the Alphabet Challenge – we’re up to the letter U and Billie has chosen ‘unequal’.

Hello crafty friends. It’s time for our next theme at Alphabet Challenge – we’re up to R and Debbie has opted for cards and projects that are red. That’s such a great choice of colour for this time of year! I recently did a very CAS card using Julie Hickey’s ‘poinsettia’ stamp & die, so… Read More R is for red
Hello crafty friends. We’ve got a new letter over at The Alphabet Challenge today – Meg has chosen ‘q for quadruple’, i.e. four of something, for this theme. I’ve gone for my favourite clean and simple style for this card, using up some scrap pieces of card (always a result!), thanks to a bit of… Read More q for quadruple
Hello crafty friends. It’s Friday and we’ve got the next letter in our Alphabet Challenge – we’re now up to ‘P’ and Caz has challenged us to include patterned paper on out cards. I’ve gone for more of an abstract look on mine, rather than a regular pattern, with a piece of the ‘Amazonia’ paper… Read More P for patterned paper
Welcome to my crafty blog and our new theme over at Alphabet Challenge. We’re now at the letter O, and Helen has chosen ‘outdoors’.
