Barbara & Paul are launching these brilliant seasonal ‘build-a-wreath’ stamps at 3pm this afternoon (check… Read More Love-ly wreath
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. I’m also sharing it with Can You Handle The Pressure – I’ve embossed… Read More autumn leaves
Hello crafty friends. Well I’m back in my comfort zone today with a return to stamping, after stretching myself with lots of die cutting over the last couple of weeks!

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been asked to make another 60th birthday card – this time for a Formula One racing fan. I don’t have any racing cars amongst my stash, so decided instead to go with the Mercedes team colours of black, silver & green given that Lewis Hamilton remains the top British… Read More Formula 1 birthday
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. I’m still busy with Father’s Day cards, so I can get them off in good time to the little community shop that’s selling some of my creations. I’m quite pleased with today’s offering as it’s used up several pieces of scrap card, so has gladdened my thrifty crafter heart! I… Read More best day ever
