Hi there It was my niece’s birthday on Friday – hard to believe she is now 16! I’m really loving the Sweet Shop DSP – here is what I’ve made for Hanna. I haven’t made a Tri Fold card like this for ages – it’s a great way to showcase the paper. I’ve used the… Read More »
Hi there Just a quick post while I’m having a late lunch. Yesterday was my friend Narelle’s birthday and here is the card and matching gift I gave her. I stamped my image first with VersaMark then used my inkspots (great for this sort of image) for the colour. I used clear embossing powder on… Read More »
Hi there When I first saw this stamp set I wasn’t that fussed with it. BUT as usual the more you see it being used the more you want it! So I bought it & Phil gave it to me for my birthday last month. I used an aqua painter for the first time on… Read More »
Hi there Here is a card I made the other night to go with these gifts for another colleague at work. I have seen heaps of cards using this accordian style flower and thought it was about time I tried one myself. I followed instructions from Heather Summers blog. It was really easy to make using the Simply Scored… Read More »

Hi there Just a quick post before I head off to work. Here is this weeks sketch: I’ve kept mine a normal sized card rather than a square. I am loving the Well Worn DSP – why did I leave it so long before I bought it! Supplies: Stamp – Loads of Love, Loads of… Read More »
Hi there Yesterday was my MIL’s birthday and here is the card I made her. It’s another recreation of the card that Kristine taught over at Crafters Anonymous. This is such a cool card to make (& give) for a gift voucher. Card & voucher were well received this morning at breakfast. Supplies: Stamp –… Read More »
Hi there Well it’s been a few weeks since I felt like doing any challenges and this weeks challenge over at Try Stampin on Tuesday is a good one to come back to. My good friend Tracey Old and her family visited us on Easter Monday and she showed me her card for this challenge. I felt inspired so… Read More »
Hi there Wow – I hadn’t realised it was so long since I’d blogged. I am still feeling tired and don’t seem to have much energy – I wish these iron tablets would kick in. I did however manage to do some creating over the weekend. I make all the birthday gifts for staff at… Read More »

Hi there This week’s challenge over at Just Add Ink was to ‘Just Add Beaches’. I don’t have any beach themed stamps so pulled out my trusty set Crab & Company. Now I know this set has been retired for awhile but I will never part with it. I think it’s great for all ages and has… Read More »
Hi there When I saw this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches I thought I’d try something different with it. Instead of it being a flat card front I’ve made it that the right hand piece opens out (once you take the band off). I cut a slot in the DSP then slotted the Whisper White… Read More »
Hi there I’m sitting here eating my salad (still trying to think it’s summer) but I should be eating something warm as I’m feeling cold – never mind. The challenge this week at JAI is to CASE Nikki Spencer. I checked her entire blog and picked about 6 I’d like to CASE but have narrowed it down to… Read More »
Hi there Well I’ve had a busy crafting weekend but you’ll have to wait a bit to see all my creations :). Next weekend I’m away on a demo stamp camp so I’ve been preparing my swaps. I did however make time this afternoon to play along at this weeks challenge for TST. I will be… Read More »
Hi Over at the NZSU blog I gave everyone a challenge – to use the big shot for a card or 3D project. So I thought I’d better enter it myself! I make the birthday gifts for all the staff at work and this year I am making a variety of boxes and filling them with chocolates… Read More »
