I’m a writer, blogger, cook, mum to three fur-babies, and wife to a wonderful man. I also work full-time as a child carer. I have a series of blogs all under the main heading of The Joyful Soul. In these blogs I explore my love of creativity in various ways.
We have an autumnal colour palette for our new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations. I decided to use it for a quick and easy card with a coffee-theme for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers hop.
I’m excited to be joining Alicia of Call Me Crafty Al for her Inspired Saturdays Collaboration this week. The idea of the collaboration is that we each create a project inspired by the other. I was inspired by a back to school card that Alicia made – you can see the video here or find … More Inspired Saturdays Collab | Brushstroke Florals
I almost forgot about the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Hop starting today! Luckily I remembered before I went to bed and quickly made a card. I’m aiming to post daily throughout the hop, as I did with the recent Cat Lovers Hop.

The first Wednesday of the month means it is time for a new challenge at The Male Room. This month our theme is toys and as always that’s open to your interpretation. I got quite elaborate with my project and created a card that has a removable toy attached to the front!

We’re sponsored by Sassy & Crafty who provided the images for us lucky creators to play with, and are also providing a prize to one hopper.

It’s reminder time for our challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations. We’re looking for projects that feature monsters or ghouls. Now that Halloween is over I wanted to make something that fit the theme without being a Halloween card.
Today I’m back with my last cat-themed (for the Cat Lovers’ Hop) card making video (for my month of celebration) that’s short and sweet (because there aren’t enough hours in the day lately!) If you’re not sure what the month of celebration is, I’m celebrating both reaching 2000 subscribers on my YouTube channel, and it … More Shelf Cats | Month of Celebration
