I decided this Tuesday to go back to basics and give you a series of tips to help you get perfectly stamped images exactly where you want them.

I know we say ‘there are no mistakes in crating, just an opportunity for an embellishment’ but still,… Read More »

Are your drawers bulging with all your embellishments or do you have an array of pots all over your desk?

I think there are two breeds of crafters – highly organised and meticulously tidy crafters and then those of us who work in organised chaos! You can the tell which category I fall into!

Though it’s large and… Read More »
