Are you a ribbon hoarder like me? I started a little project earlier in the week and due to our un-seasonal snow, I have finally had a chance to complete it today. An In-Color ribbon hairband!! I do tend to stock up somewhat on ribbon and I love looking at it, but it needs to be a special project to use it. This has somewhat backfired for me as now… Read More »

I’ve been having a clear-out of my retired items on Ebay. I wanted to send a thank you card to send with the items and needed something quick and easy without compromising on style. As I’ve been making a conscious effort to pull out some old favourites that haven’t seen some love in a while, I decided to make a Quick and Easy Swirly Bird card. I liked this card… Read More »
I have a treat for you today! A treat box tutorial to be precise! It was my daughter’s 10th Birthday party this weekend and we had a small group of friends round for a ‘pamper party’ . As her actual party was over 3 weeks ago, she didn’t want a cake – we had to make ‘crazy milkshakes’ instead! But as there was no cake going home in party bags,… Read More »

They’re not perfectly placed,… Read More »
I’m getting into a weekly routine with my Scrapbooking.

I’ve been scrapping with my friend again and this time I wanted to create an Epic Celebrations Scrapbook page to scrap a fab Chic concert from last summer. My sister treated me to the gig in London and we had Triple A passes – hence the close-up photo of Nile Rodgers! No long lens needed, we were that close! I followed a sketch – well, let’s rephrase that… when… Read More »

The recipient of my card was my second child who turned 8 today. He had asked for a skateboard for… Read More »
