Hello crafty friends and welcome to the start of another week! I hope your Monday hasn’t been too miserable.

Hello crafty friends. I’m delighted to be back with this card, as guest designer for the new grid over at TicTacToe challenge. I’ve gone with the middle row on this one – orange for my autumn (fall) ginko leaves, and adding pencil colouring as my free option. I took the colour scheme from the current… Read More autumn ginko for TicTacToe challenge

Hello there. I’ve been a very sporadic blogger over the last few weeks thanks to several trips away (including a fabulous couple of days at Claritystamp’s crafting retreat – more of that another time) but I managed to find a bit of time this afternoon to make a few cards. I picked up the palette… Read More ladybirds
Hello crafty friends. Well I’m back after a fab few days away with friends at the New Wine Christian conference – we weren’t anywhere near the sea, so I thought I’d compensate with this card inspired by the theme at AAA Cards which also picks up the left hand diagonal of yellow, blue & water… Read More in the sea
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m delighted to have been invited to be guest designer for the new TicTacToe challenge launching today!
