Welcome to my crafty blog and another card using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘plentiful plants’ set. Thank you cards are always useful to have in my stash, so this week’s theme at Global Design Project was very helpful.

I picked up their sketch as well for… Read More a pot of pansies
Welcome to my crafty blog and another outing for Stampin’ Up’s ‘artistically inked’ set. I’ve used the colours from the current challenge at Colour INKspiration, which is on Facebook.

Welcome to my crafty blog. Another quick card today – for some reason I’ve been really tired all day, although that may have something to do with the fact that my sister came to stay for the weekend and we’ve been out & about in London. I’m clearly out of practice! I’ve taken inspiration from… Read More plentiful plants
Welcome to my crafty blog on a very grey and wet day in the UK. I’m so glad we went to the flower show yesterday – it wouldn’t have been much fun today with all this rain. I’m continuing on my floral theme, however, inspired by this week’s ‘flower power’ challenge at Global Design Project,… Read More flower power!
