Hi there Well it’s definitely been an indoors day today – great for crafting. I’ve been busy prepping a little ‘RAK’ project for my work colleagues.

Hi there Back again with the last two projects from the party. The birthday girl had recently purchased Foxy Friends stamp set and punch so with that in mind I created a project that she could recreate using these products.

Hi there I’ve lost count of the number of wedding anniversary cards I’ve made in the last two months – but it’s been a few. This one is fancy fold using the Gate Fold technique.
