Birthday Cycle!
I feel like it’s all boy cards at the moment, not so much of the pretty bling & glitter. But it’s my fab nephew’s birthday soon & I thought I would ink up my new Practicing Creativity stamps & what…

Happy 21st
This is a card for a friend’s neice who is turning 21 so of course it had to glitter and I’ve been playing with those wonderful Copics… again. So this will be my entry for the current Stamping with Markers…
Happy Loco 18th
So one of my wonderful nephews is turning 18. I’m sure I am not old enough to have nephews who are driving cars! So what better place to get an idea for a masculine card than at the Clean & Simple…
Circus Animals
Here’s my big news – I’ve been published! I am so so so very excited that my cards were accepted by Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine. And even more fabulously (is that a word?) these cards are doing a little tour with the…
All Pure
For this inspiration from There She Goes I thought I would keep the lines clean & simple as well as make use of those wonderful colours. I have been wanting to colour these Pure Innocence images for a wee while now &…
Simple Flower
So I am back for the last Caardvarks Challenge – to make a monochromatic card (couldn’t resist). So I used some inspiration from the current Clean & Simple Layout. It’s a good place to go when the mojo is low, the FTL…
Red & White
So it’s time for more challenges & this time the theme seems to be Red & White. So I thought I would stay away from the Xmas theme (I need a change). I just adore this stamp set from PTI…
Lacey Flowery Thing
This is sooo out of my comfort zone that it’s funny! Thanks for the great challenge CASE Study. And a special thanks to the new Muse Nina Brackett. How comes everyone else makes vintage look so easy… everytime I tried to…
Birthday Bird Banner!
Fancy having a birthday soooo close to Xmas… mine is conveniently located in the middle of the year. I have quite a few family & friends who celebrate their birthdays in December & January including my nephew who is getting…
Funky Flower
Happy Sunday! I’m enjoying a relaxing Sunday off work…. yaaay, looking after my poor husband who is currently suffering manflu… not so yaay. It’s a terrible disease which stops absolutely everything in their lives for at least 3 days. I…
Cricket Birthday
So I’ve been making a birthday card for a friend’s son, and the theme was cricket…. If I get stuck for an idea I usually go cruise around splitcoast stampers where there is masses of inspiration. I could not find one…
Craig is 44!
So here it is… last year I made a birthday card for my brother. I thought I was being very clever & made a single layer stamped, copic coloured image. (A very stressful thing to do… no room for error!). My…
Glitterball Girl!
I thought I would just share a card that I have made for a wonderful friend of mine who is turning 40 (don’t look yet Jack!). She just loves a ‘bit of Bling!’, and what could be more ‘blingful’ than…
Time for tea?
This is my entry for the Play Date Cafe Challenge, I have to say that I saw these colours & thought that this would be a difficult mix and then I thought ‘Toughen up… I’m in!’. I was also wanting…
A Pink Seal?
This is my entry for the current CASE Study Challenge #13. I thought I would add a little animal act to the challenge although… I don’t think seals are usually bright pink! I just love Heather Pulvirenti’s cards and it great…
On the Baker’s Twine Bandwagon!
Welcome! I have finally joined the masses & have purchased some Baker’s Twine – it’s a fabulous set from Martha Stewart made for the holidays , 3 different colours & lots in the pack so I thought I should start using…
Felt the challenge!
I’ve been wanting to take part in the current Embellish Magazine Challenge – but haven’t had a chance until today – talk about leaving it until the last minute! I decided to use the felt as part of the background…
If the Shoe Fits?
So today I thought I would have some fun with the CASE study challenge #10. It’s my friends’ birthday this week and this stamp was made just for her… she just loves to shop, so this freebie stamp from Papermania was…
Growing up is Optional!
So this will be just a quick post to enter this card into this weeks challenge at Sassy Studio Designs, Dare to be Sassy #41. It’s breast cancer awareness month & the colour is pink… so why not make it…
Happy Butterfly Birthday
I am just sitting here in the rain crafting away, so I thought it’s obviously time for another challenge. Even though I know I should be starting on my Xmas cards – there’s still plenty of time for them… isn’t there? How…
