I needed to create a quick masculine card and these two challenges have worked well together – layout from Mojo Monday and the colour combo from ColourQ.

I’ve just realised that today is Yellowbear Stampin’s first birthday – can you believe it. I have now been blogging for one year and my posts have certainly changed from a year ago. It only seems fitting to celebrate my first anniversary by posting a card made for the same person who had the first post… Read More »

Hi there The weather here in Auckland today was beautiful – we were able to sit outside in the sun and have lunch on the deck. I’m sure Spring is round the corner especially now that you can see blossoms on the trees. I’ve been meaning to post this card and gift box for weeks – I made… Read More »
Hi there Just a quick post today. Here’s a card & 3D gift I made for our neighbour’s 40th ages ago but never got round to posting. Even though Crab & Co has been retired for awhile it’s still one of my favourite sets. These clamshell boxes are fun to make – I filled this one with… Read More »
