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 »

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!

This week was my week of classes here at my craft room. Here are a couple of cards that we did on Technique Tuesday. I have seen lots of these style of cards across the internet recently and was really keen to give it a try. I’ve drawn inspiration from a whole range of ideas and colour combinations I’ve seen to come with something of my own. It really is… Read More »
I have a project to share with you today using the Crazy about You stamp set combined with some FREE Sale-a-bration paper. I’ve CASE’d this project from US demo Ronda Wade (CASE – stands for Copy and Share Everything – something we’re very proud of in Stampin’ Up circles). However, Ronda used a DSP on her card that I didn’t have. Yet, I really liked the Mossy Meadow scalloped… Read More »

I have a beautiful card to share with you today using the Lotus Blossom set that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration. I got the colour combination idea after first having seen a similar card on Beth McAlexander’s blog and decided it would make a perfect Birthday card for my Mum. I think I’m safe enough posting this card ahead of her Birthday as don’t think she looks at… 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 »

Is anyone else like me or are you all super-organised? Today, I had… Read More »

I love looking at other people’s designs for ideas and inspiration and I saw this lovely card on Debbie Henderson’s blog (an SU demo from the US) a little while ago, which I thought would showcase a lovely technique for my Technique Tuesday class. You can see Debbie’s card here – she even has instructions on how to create the card. I decided to change it up a little bit,… Read More »
