The challenge from The Global Design Project is a timely one as I was just sitting down to make a thank you card when I had a quick flick over to the GDP challenge blog. The theme was indeed thank you. I have a private class tomorrow for a very special lady and her friends. This lady was one of my first customers when I started my Stampin’ Up journey… Read More »
This week in my Technique Tuesday class we focused on the Reflection Technique and if you caught my Periscope video last night you would have seen how I achieved it on this card – by the way, you can still vote for me in the Blog Highlight 😉 With this card, I wanted to create a locker room feel with a saw dust floor and my man looking at his reflection in… Read More »
Ive joined up with some other demonstrators from all around the world in a special Blog Highlight organised by Kylie Bertucci Down Under in Australia – many thanks for organising it all Kylie.

You are having a sneak peek of both her Mother’s Day card and her gift – I’m 99% sure our secret is safe as she’s not too good… Read More »
This week at the Global Design Project, it’s a sketch challenge. Sketch challenges are my favourite as an idea seems to pop into my head with much more speed than when I see colours in a colour challenge… I normally make pretty much the exactmidea that pops into my head, but this time, my idea evolved a few times before the final card was completed. A little bit of me… Read More »
I love sharing Stampin’ Up with everyone and that includes my children so when there is a family birthday, I love getting the kids in the craft room to make cards for the birthday boy or girl. We have quite a few Birthdays in January with my Mum and two of my children, so I thought I would share just a few of the projects we made. First of all… Read More »
I had a couple of free hours recently so tried a couple of challenges – and this time I’ve hopped on over to The Global Design Project. This week, it’s a colour challenge I was stumped for quite a whileas though I like these colours individually, I wouldn’t normally put them together but in the end I went for a pretty colourful Birthday card. I’ve used the Confetti embossing folder… Read More »
Firstly, thank you so much to the Design Team at CAS for picking my card as one of the winners in Challenge #155.

Each month at our monthly get-together, after we’ve had… Read More »
It’s been a busy ten days or so and I haven’t been blogging much, between classes, family christenings and birthdays it’s been pretty busy time for us, so I’m very much looking forward to this weekend and a rest! Well – as much of a rest as is possible with 4 kids under 7 – though I can say under 8 on Sunday! So a quick post from me today as… Read More »

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 »

If I’m totally… Read More »
