Hi thereI thought I’d use this week’s sketch for a masculine card and pulled out two great sets – Clockworks and Gorgeous Grunge. My colour combo comes from last years Halloween paper – Howlstooth and Scaringbone. I’m still trying to use up my retired paper stock before I get any more but I’d better… Read More »
Hi there Here we are again with another great sketch for Try Stampin on Tuesday I had the three butterflies sitting on my desk so decided to make them my base for this weeks card.

Hi there Wow – three posts in three days 🙂 This weeks sketch lends nicely for my new set Sketched Birthday – see I told you there would be more cards with this set. I’m not sure what it is with images that can be coloured in – must take us back to our childhood… Read More »
Hi there For this week’s sketch I’ve used one of the new stamp set and punch bundles available from the new Annual Catalogue. I really love this set and have seen some amazing creations with it. Can’t wait to recreate/create some of my own. This particular stamp and punch come as a ‘bundle’ which is great… Read More »
Hi there Where has the last week gone! It’s hard to believe that we are now almost half way through the year but the good thing is that Summer is coming lol. Winter is my least favourite season and we have had a good dose of winter here in NZ this last week – the… Read More »
Hi there I hope you week is going well. We have another great sketch this week. I decided to use a stamp set that hasn’t seen ink for awhile. Do you have a few of ‘those’ sets? I know I do. I heat embossed the image then used my blender pens to ‘colour’ in. Very… Read More »
Hi there This weeks sketch over at Try Stampin on Tuesday has been designed by Paula Laird – thanks for another great layout. I’ve used one of my favourite sets for this card – Clockworks.

Hi there Are you proud of me? For the last month I’ve been using my accessories and today’s card is no exception. This is a great layout for a masculine card and came together very quickly. I’ve used it for a 50th birthday card. The combination of black and grey work really well and I… Read More »
Hi there I’ll be honest with you – I struggled with this weeks sketch until I turned it 90 degrees. My first attempt was the above orientation but I wasn’t happy with the finished card – it just didn’t do anything for me. I sat and looked at it trying to figure out how I… Read More »
Hi there As I posted a couple of weeks ago I’m trying to use up some of my accessories that I buy because I love them but then never get round to using! So when I saw this weeks sketch included some brads I checked what I had and that determined my colour combo. I’ve… Read More »
