An Easter Card for… Easter!
So guess who doesn’t own any Easter stamps? It’s funny that I didn’t realise this until I started making an easter card for the current Scrapbook Boutique and Copic Oz challenges. Anyway I made do with what I have and enjoyed a little paper…
Calling all Critters!
I’m soooo excited, I have my first set of Lawn Fawn stamps on the way to my door! But I couldn’t wait til they came to join the current Lawnscaping Challenge – Calling all Critters. The inspiration cards were…

Here is another birthday card for my stash. I wanted to make something pretty, no offense to the masculine cards or the CAS, but I needed some glitter & butterflies. I am still working with the vintage look & to…
CSC35 – Happy Mother’s Day
So I’ve been struggling with this card for a couple of days… you know, look at it, shuffle papers around, stamp a bit, get all my ribbons out… then put them back! I was determined to do the pretty / busy…
A Sympathetic Mother’s Day?
So I sat down to make some Mother’s Day cards and I don’t know where I went wrong… but I ended up with a Sympathy Card. And although I like it maybe I shouldn’t send it instead of a Mother’s…
Pink Petals
The vision of my card kinda changed along the way… I like to think of it as evolving (I’m sure you know what I mean). So this is my take on the current Card Positioning Systems Sketch. CPS #213 Thanks…

Mother’s Day Rose

A Krafty Birthday!
So I know I am having a problem at the moment keeping Kraft cardstock away from my cards… but I just love it! It’s probably because I don’t have to think, it just goes with everything. So here it is…

I just LOVE holidays… I have spent my whole day playing with stamps & paper, it couldn’t get any better than that! Especially when my husband is at work, there has been rain outside & the chickens are out running around…
My niece turns 20!
I’m officially old… I would swear that I was still 18, except that I have noticed now I have slowed down by at least 110% – I like to say that I am just more experienced in life and now…
Penny Farthing – Enjoy the Ride!
I know I’m leaving it a little late but I wanted to make sure that I joined in the current Embellish Magazine’s Masculine Color Trends Challenge, there are already so many fab cards I wasn’t sure where to start. Until…
Happy Happy Birthday!
Can you believe that I have hardly any birthday cards left in my stash! I need to work on this so I decided to play with some more challenges for inspiration. I’m struggling through night duty at the moment and…
You’re the Cat’s Meow
I was having a play with the Cattitude stamps (LoVe them!) for the current Play Date Cafe Challenge and decided to follow Chupa’s Sketchbook Saturday Challenge. Then I thought I might as well go all out and join in Joy’s very first…
