Hello there – I’m back with an autumn birthday card today using the leaf die from Julie HIckey’s ‘delightful daisy’ set. I thought they’d work well with the layout from Freshly Made Sketches, picking up the right hand column from TicTacToe‘s grid.

Hello there. Well it’s not been the day we’d planned, as the queue for the Queen’s lying-in-state was still closed early this morning. We decided that we couldn’t go later as we are already committed to something tomorrow morning and the queue was forecast to be up to 24 hours wait. So very disapppointing.

Hello crafty friends. Well I’m back after another short break away and thought I ought to make use of the ‘wheelbarrow’ from last month’s Claritystamp Craft Club, not least because this month’s is due to drop through my letterbox any day now! The first step was to stamp the image in black onto a square… Read More leafy wheelbarrow
Hello crafty friends. It’s time for a new challenge over at Sparkles blog, where Caz has gone with ‘at the beach’ as this month’s theme. I’ve CASE’d a card I spotted on Pinterest, using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘friends are like seashells’ set. I started by masking off a border around a piece of white card, then… Read More at the beach
