Every month, my team, the Aces and Diamonds, and I get together for our meeting filled crafty inspiration and our obligatory cheeseboard (sometimes we swap it for cake, but cheese seems customary now!). We swap cards, do some make and takes and I set them home with a challenge to create something from a given set of supplies. Being ill last week meant my own entry was a little late… Read More »
So today I am feeling very under the weather! Christmas card production has ground to a halt for the moment. Luckily, I had no events planned this weekend or that could have been disastrous. So due to my mystery bug, I don’t have a new project for you today but I thought I would share a video direct from Stampin’ Up showcasing the Pillow Box Thinlit dies. These are gorgeous… Read More »

Two challenges in as many days, I’m quite proud of myself!! It’s a bit like buses, waiting around for ages for two to come at once!

So I played about at making a wreath on a door and this… Read More »
I have a quirky little card for you today to enter into the CAS Challenge 152. This week was a sketch challenge and we were asked to use the sketch below as inspiration. It reminded me of Ying and Yang so that led my initial interpretation as I decided to invert the colours. I originally wanted to use something else, but had lent the pivotal product to a customer who… Read More »
We always make a showstopper piece at my Christmas Crafternoon and this year we made this fabulous Advent Calendar. I cased a project I found on Pinterest which you can see here, but I changed mine up a little as I don’t think my ladies would ever have forgiven me if I had asked them to make the original in an afternoon! It must have taken the lady days to… Read More »

This was a case of my own cards that I created with… Read More »
You may have seen my post yesterday about our fantastic promotion. I thought I would show you some cards I’ve made using one of the sets, Gorgeous Grunge.

If I’m totally… Read More »
