Only 13 days to go to the Big Day, as my kids keep reminding me! So I thought I would combine two challenges this week and create a fun little Christmas card. Firstly, the colour challenge over at Pals Paper Arts screamed Christmas to me and Addicted to CAS have asked us to incorporate ‘JOY’ into our creations. And here is what I came up with I hope you like… Read More »
I have a simple card to show you today. It uses the beautiful set Every Blessing which you will find in the annual catalogue. This set wil,l of course, be available right up until the end of the annual catalogue. I’ve made quite a few of these today and this simple design allows for mass production. I do hope you like it, and appreciate your thoughts if you would like… 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! Anyway, this week’s challenge at the Global Design Project was a colour challenge. I mulled it over for a while and the candy canes just jumped out at me! So I played about at making a wreath on a door and this… 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 »

Last week was very busy and I’m afraid something had to give and as I managed to feed my children it had to be the blog!! I had a couple of private classes and my Christmas Crafternoon on Saturday and I thought I would show you a couple of our projects. Firstly, there had to be some cards!! This was a case of my own cards that I created with… Read More »

Just a quick post to add my challenge card over at the Global Design Project. This week we are asked to ‘case’ a design from Kylie Bertucci. I only recently discovered Kylie via Pinterest, just before the Global Design Project started. I just love her style and I love the card we’ve been asked to ‘case’. If you’re not sure of the term ‘case’ it stands for Copy And Share… Read More »
Just a quick post from me today as I’ve completed Challenge no 147 for CAS Colours and Sketches. Here is the sketch that was my inspiration today. And here was the card I came up with. I can’t believe I am actually making a card saying Happy New Year already, I feel that summer was just yesterday! But Christmas will be upon us before we know it. The sentiment comes… Read More »
Sorry for my lack of posts – life has been a bit manic recently! And with Christmas just round the corner, it’s going to get even worse!!! But I will endeavour to post more regularly!

A very very quick post from me to squeeze a last minute entry into the Global Design Project challenge for this week. This week we were to case a design from one of the designers, Louise Sharp. Here is Louise’s card. I was inspired by the circular wreath shape used in her card, and for some reason, Christmas Pudding came into my head. If truth be told, I… Read More »
Last Saturday, I held a great Buy One Get One Free sale here at my craft room. But of course, we had to make a few cards and here is one of the cards we made. I’ve used a base of Tip Top Taupe and stamped in Night of Navy. I also highlighted the branches with my White Gel Pen and added some Dazzling Diamonds for a bit of sparkle. I… Read More »

Didn’t September fly in?! You may have arrived from Lesley, or this may be your first stop today, either way you are very welcome. Our theme this month is Gift Packaging. I must admit, in a previous life, i.e. before Stampin’ Up, I never paid much attention to packaging. Though I was very appreciative of other people’s efforts, I was the sort who was still shopping on Christmas Eve… Read More »
I just thought I would share with you some of the invitations I have been sending out for my crafty morning at the end of September. I’ve used the Wonderland stamp set together with the Winter Wonderland co-ordinating washi tape. I’ve also spooled some of our lush metallic thread round the background. You may be intrigued by the shape on which I have stamped Silent Night in Soft Suede. What punch is that I… Read More »

2015 has arrived! Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? I must admit, I don’t make any ‘formal’ resolutions as I rarely even remember what they were come March! I am going to try and look after myself a little bit more, drink a bit more water, exercise a little but no ridiculous resolutions that I know I wont keep up with. I’m also going to try and keep up with… Read More »
