Hi there It is nice hearing the rain outside – the garden is so dry and it’s not even full on summer yet. This week seems to be the week to have a birthday. On Monday friends of ours celebrated their birthday’s – like us husband and wife share the same day. They can never… Read More: A Double Birthday »

Hi there Yesterday our friends daughter turned 3. I don’t have any little girl stamp sets but did receive a new set at last month’s OnStage which I used to create this cute card – thanks to Kelly Kent I was able to CASE her card.

Hi there A couple of months ago my brothers eldest turned 21 and I forgot to blog the card I made for him! (I hadn’t downloaded it to the laptop). Most of us find masculine cards hard to create – try a ‘special’ birthday – that’s even harder. I happened to spot this design on… Read More: 21st Birthday Card »

Hi there I started to clean my craft desk this afternoon but didn’t get very far – its now messier than when I started! I got waylaid and ended up creating a card and sorting some bits to make more tomorrow! Here’s a card I created a while ago using the Cherry on Top DSP… Read More: Cherry on Top Starburst Card »
