A very quick card for you tonight which was another on my Watercolour series in my Technique Tuesday class! It uses the Sale-a-bration set Hello which is free with any £45 purchase but only until February 15th, so if this floats your boat, don’t leave it too long. We will have more Sale-a-bration products on offer after February 15th – but don’t delay getting this one, it’s a really fun… 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 »

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 »
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 »

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 »

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.

Last Saturday, I held a great Buy One Get One Free sale here at my craft room. But of course, we had to make a few cards and here is one of the cards we made.

Didn’t September fly in?! You may have arrived from Lesley, or this may be your first stop today, either way you are very welcome. Our theme this month is Gift Packaging.
