Hi there This year seems to be the year for ‘milestone’ birthdays. Earlier this month our aunt in the US celebrated her 80th. We couldn’t send her flowers as she is holidaying in Europe with extended family so I sent her flowers by way of the card :). This uses the new Beautiful Bouquet… Read More »
Hi there I’m getting my priorities right tonight – blog first then clean the craft space so I can create more projects (and mess) 🙂 Last month my youngest niece turned 21 :). I remember the day she was born – I was living in London and received a call from my brother late at night… Read More »
Hi there The moment I saw the stamp set “You’ve Got Style” in the new catalogue I knew I needed it – it just appealed to my sense of humor. I also love line art images as they are so versatile to create projects with. Here’s my first creation – Grandma escaping with her glass… Read More »
Hi there Sorry for the ‘break in transmission’ but I’ve been having major technical issues with my blog. I’m hoping we’ve managed to get it finally sorted. Last month I was fortunate enough to receive a lovely card from a fellow demo. It uses the new Angel Policy stamp set – Crafting Forever – and… Read More »

Hi there Don’t forget to read right to the bottom of this post to see what this months promotion is. I was doing a bit of a ‘clean up’ of my photos on my computer and came across some projects I created for a workshop some months ago that I hadn’t shared! The first card… Read More »
Hi there Last Friday was my husbands birthday (it was also my birthday – yes we share the same day but different years). For ages I’ve resisted buying the Guy Greetings stamp set – I just can’t get past the image of the old fashioned boxer – but I finally succumbed to purchasing it. I… Read More »
Hi there Are you ready for card number five? This card was made for a special crafting friend who has a special birthday today. We share the same name and our birthday’s are a week apart. She is one the most talented crafters I know and I have always been in awe of her creations.… Read More »
Hi there I thought I’d take a break from making my swaps for team training on Saturday and bring you the fourth card in my Eastern Palace series. The main die used on this project is another one that doesn’t fully cut out but with a few snips of your scissors can – just cut the… Read More »
Hi there I’ve had a great afternoon crafting. Phil has been out all day and I’ve had the house to myself – which means the dining room and kitchen bench have become a crafting space :). I’ve prepped over 50 cards for a friend of mine, made two wedding anniversary cards and one graduation card and… Read More »
Hi there Last week a friend had a very special birthday. She received lots of birthday cards to mark this special day. Unfortunately my card is taking a tiki tour to her letterbox – hopefully it will turn up soon. So Shannon here is what your card looks like 🙂 My card is based on a creation… Read More »
Hi there On Saturday a friends youngest son turned 6. I don’t have many ‘kids’ stamps but when I saw the Everyday Hero in the Occasions Catalogue I knew that would be a good one for kids of all ages. This card is a combination of the layout in the catalogue and one I saw… Read More »
