By my own admission, I am not the most technically gifted person in the world. I had photographed a few projects to share with you while on a recent trip back to Ireland, but while there I was unable to transfer them to a blog post. GGRRRRR!!! I could blame my internet provider but as my mother always said, a bad workman always blames his tools!! (Though to be fair,… Read More »

If you arrived straight here, you are also very welcome and hope you are having a great Saturday so far.

I thought I would share the thank-you’s I made for all the gifts that I received when baby Finn was born – think they have all been received by now. You may not recognise all the products used on the cards as some have now retired, but I just loved this bumblebee and was so sad it retired – it had to get one final outing! I was inspired by… Read More »
Time for a challenge, I thought. I saw a challenge which really is a challenge for me on Simply Less is More. One layer and Male – that is probably the toughest challenge of them all for me. One layer is tough enough, and male can be difficult, but combined?! This is what I came up with I was inspired by the name badge of one of my Stampin’ Creative Blog… Read More »
I think I’m safe enough to post here as don’t think my parents will see this but it is their Wedding Anniversary today and we had to make a last-minute card!

In the excitement of our Retiring List being released recently, some of you may have forgotten that our Spring Summer Catalogue retires soon too. These items don’t feature on the retiring list as the whole catalogue will retire, however, we may be lucky with some items carrying over into the annual catalogue. I wanted to show you a couple of cards made with some of my favourite sets from this… Read More »
So, it’s that time of the year when our new annual catalogue is nearly here, but first we have to make room for those bright and shiny new products by saying a tearful goodbye to some of our current products. Our Retiring List was released yesterday – I have an updated version for you here. This shows some of the items that have already sold out (marked with an X… Read More »
I thought I would share with you my latest creation and the inspiration behind my winning card on the recent PPA challenge. This was my card and you can read about how I made it here. Baby Finn arrived early Thursday morning and is already a huge hit with his older siblings (and his parents!) as you can see. I’m hoping to get back in my craft room soon and will… Read More »
Edited to add, my card was picked in the top three in this week’s challenge, 🙂 I haven’t taken part in a challenge for a few weeks, life has just got in the way – ever find that?! But I’ve just managed to sneak this entry in at the last minute so hope you like it. Our challenge this week was to follow this great sketch challenge from Nicole… Read More »
I’ve had a few requests for instructions on my door on the card I posted for the Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop on Saturday so have snapped a few pics and hope it makes sense to you all. You can see the original card here. So I took my piece of Whisper White card, my oval framelits, my Big Shot and my magnetic platform – this is great when you… Read More »
I recently held our monthly team get-together. We usually get together once a month to craft, chat, and swap ideas and inspiration. I wanted to show you the swaps that my talented team made to share. It’s a little picture heavy so I’ve reduced the size of the photos just so this post is not too hard to read. Although my details are on the photos, these cards are entirely… Read More »
Apologies for my lack of recent posts, last week was a little manic!! I should have (slightly!) more time this week so hope to remedy the lack of posts, firstly with this one. I was nominated by Tracy Elsom in Canada to be part of the Creative Blog Hop. I came across Tracy’s work through Pinterest, I think, and I cased a card that I fell in love with last… Read More »
This week in the PPA Challenge, we are asked to design a card using the above three colours. I decided to ink up Little Buddy Birthday and make a cute little Valentine, suitable for the young and young at heart. I used the Mirror Technique to create two dinosaurs holding some love heart ballooons. It’s quite an easy technique and can be used for a whole variety of stamps. I stamped… Read More »
I promised to show you some of the swaps from our team night last week. First of all, here’s mine. I love this Sale-a-bration set – FREE with any purchase of £45! I was still undecided as to the orientation of the card, right up until the last minute – which version do you prefer? I’ve stamped the light bulb and greeting in Memento Ink and coloured in with my Daffodil… Read More »
It was my eldest daughter’s birthday yesterday and she had requested a Cat Birthday card! (we’re currently going through a cat obsession!!). I don’t have any cat stamps so I decided to pull out my punches and create a little punch art. I had to have a quick glance at Pinterest for a little inspiration for my perfect cat, and then had a look round my stash for the perfect… Read More »
