Hi there What a beautiful weekend we’ve had. This afternoon Phil and I went for a long walk in Cornwall Park/One Tree Hill (or No Tree Hill as some call it). It was so lovely and warm it felt like summer. There were so many people up there – having picnics, BBQ’s, walking the dog,… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve had a good day. Mine started out with a ladies breakfast at Church and then I’ve been sanding walls and window frames in our rental property so I haven’t had a chance to do any crafting today. So I thought I’d share with you a little trick I’ve learnt to… Read More »
Hi there Here’s the second card we made at card class this week. The request was for a wedding card. I don’t have any wedding stamp sets so used tone-on-tone, texture and punches for this one. It’s based on this card but with my own take added in. I decided to stamp the card with the ‘flecks’… Read More »
