Today’s post combines a colour challenge (CTD273) and a sketch challenge (MOJO326). There were two options for the sketch either a round… Read More: Colour and Sketch challenge »

Hi there Well here we are on the last day of 2013. It’s been a year of change – some good and some not so good. The positives are I attended my first convention in May and had a ball, I started a new job in July and love it and we paid off our… Read More: Last post for 2013 »
Hi there Yesterday it was a fellow demo’s birthday. Now I have never me Helen in person but I’ve chatted with her on our FB demo site and I wanted to send her a card for her birthday. Being a Stampin’ Up! demo means I get to meet so many people who also share the… Read More: Happy Birthday Helen »
Hi there Today’s card is one I made ages ago which I CASED from Mary Fish. It’s a real Clean & Simple card and I love it. I’m really trying to use my DSP and not leave it uncut until the last month and then have heaps of retired paper! This paper is from the Birthday… Read More: Wishing You … a Happy Birthday »

Hi there Last week it was my nephews birthday and here’s the card and gift set I made. No present is complete from me without some form of chocolate!

Hi there Last weekend we had a lovely time in Whitianga staying with my cousin and his wife. It’s certainly nice to get away for the weekend – and even better when it’s a three day weekend 🙂 I taught this card at a recent workshop.

Hi there It’s nice having that extra hour of daylight at the end of the day – but getting up in the dark again is taking a bit of getting used to. After making the balloons for my nephews card I thought I’d make another ‘balloon’ card. I’ve CASED this one from a very talented… Read More: Birthday Balloons »
