Congrats!
I saw Jay Gees latest challenge & knew that I had to be in it, despite the fact that I’m off to work shortly… a little pressure is good isn’t it! Sometimes it can take me days to finish a…
Ouch!
This is a card I made for a work colleague who has had major surgery, just to let him know that we are all thinking about him & hopefully put a little smile on his face. This is a pre-coloured…

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…

Okay so it’s another Pure Innocence image – but just how cute are they! I wanted to join in the current Play Date Cafe Challenge and thought I would use the Clean & Simple FTL sketch to do this. What…
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 &…
Wedding Wishes
So I’ve been playing with the Copics & loving them! I made a few versions of this card, but I have to say that I like the pink cake the best. This is my entry for the current Copic Oz…
For You…
Here is another card for one of our staff who is leaving to work in another department. I have used the Card Positioning Systems Sketch #199 which I thought looked like fun when I saw it, but I have to…
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…
Forever Friends
This is my entry to the current Ribbon Girl Blog Colour Challenge. I thought this was going to be a lttle more subtle… but the end result never quite turns out like the inital vision. Supplies; Paper: A4 White Cardstock, Xpress It…

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…
The Recovery Couch!
This is for a fellow blogger who is having an operation. Linda is the one who encouraged me to start my own blog (…you can tell my husband it’s all her fault!). Linda, I hope you’ll be in the best of health again soon and then you…
