Training Wheels?

Just a quick post today.   Here is a card I made for one of my husband’s workmates who is recovering after a motorcycle accident.  I have used the colours from the Play Date Cafe for inspiration. Not the best photo, I was rushed…

All things…

I was having just a little trouble with this week’s colour challenge at Annabelle’s Stamps.  Definitely not my ususal ‘go to’ colours, but you do what you can, so I kept it CAS just to make it easier on myself. …

It’s a Play Date!

Thinking of you

So the second birthday challenge for AnnaBelle Stamps is simply ‘Blooms’.  This is super easy but as I don’t have any of their stamps (yet…) for some reason I just had to use my Stampendous Ranunculus, one of my fave for blooms.   Watch…

Peace Love Joy

So it’s time to start making those Xmas cards….  I feel like I’m behind before I even start!  Anyhoo, I wanted to join the birthday challenges at AnnaBelle Stamps, but haven’t had a chance until now as I’ve been away on holidays.  The…
