My first day back at work after being ill went fine. If you don’t count all the public transport mishaps… On my way to work, I had to go to the bus stop after the one I needed to get off at, because my stop has apparently been replaced by a hole in the ground. … More A Variety of Cards
Okay, this blog theme is maybe a stretch. I had no idea how to link these three cards… The first two are arguably nature inspired – the first has flowers, the second a leaf. The third card is a bit of a stretch with its cartoon fox. But I really wasn’t sure what else I … More Nature Inspired Cards
If you follow me anywhere that I share my creations you may have noticed that I prefer clean and simple designs. Or perhaps it would be better to say I prefer clean designs, because they’re not always simple! Today I’m sharing three cards that fall into the clean and maybe-simple category. Lots of white space, … More Clean Card Designs
Today’s post was going to be just two cards, but then I made the third which was supposed to be for sharing in a post tomorrow, and it fit the theme so I decided to bring it forward a day.

We’re also partnering with Double Trouble for this challenge, and they’ve provided a fun tic-tac-toe board … More CIC 497 | Golden Hibiscus | Flowers with Pearls/Sequins

The particular shades of those colours aren’t too important, as long as we … More CIC 486 | Birthday Monster | Brown, Green & White
It’s time for a bit of a different post. I created four cards using just one stamp set, showcasing a variety of different techniques suitable for a range crafting levels. I’m using the Chubby Chums stamp set from Paper Smooches for this. And that’s not all – Paper Smooches are very kindly sponsoring my video, … More GIVEAWAY | One Stamp Set Four Ways | Chubby Chums | Video
