January is a month FULL of birthdays in our house so when I saw this week’s challenge over at the Global Design Project, I had not only the project but the recipient in mind. It’s my mother’s birthday on the 14th of January and I don’t think she would forgive me if I let slip her age, so Mum’s the word on that one! However, this will be her card…… Read More »
Not last ever card, but last card for 2015! This is it, the year ends in a few hours and I wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year. May you make all your dreams come true this year! Over at the Global Design Project, our challenge this time was to case the designer. I loved Bibi’s card and it was going to be difficult to do her original any… Read More »

Anyway, in just a few sdays we have the launch of our brand new Spring Summer… Read More »
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.

And here is what I came up with I hope you like… Read More »

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 »
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 »
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 »

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 »
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. And It’s a great set to colour with, like I coloured my leaves in the first set, to add a graffiti style background like my Happy Birthday card pictured above, or just to add some background interest. If I’m totally… 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!

This week’s challenge on Global-Design-Project is to use the following colours. Having not long had a baby (actually he’s 6 months now?!!??! Where has the time gone?), my first reaction was baby, so that’s what went with. Here is this week’s challenge: And here is my card complete with smooshing… I’ve used the three challenge colours to smoosh with and heat embossed elements from Sweet Lil’ Things in white on Soft… Read More »
I wanted to take part in a challenge so I teamed up the Colour Challenge over at TGIF with the sketch challenge at Fab Friday. Here were the challenges… When I saw the colours, my first reaction was Halloween and Autumn and then I had a flashback to the décor in my childhood home. My own childhood bedroom was Pumpkin Pie, my sister’s room next door was Rich Razzleberry and… Read More »
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 »
