What do you do with a Saguaro cactus? They’re prickly and not exactly pretty looking plants. They grow in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona where we saw them up close and personal and only then did I appreciate that these tree like cacti can grow up to 40 ft in height, or more and are […]

Witty-cisms Cute Thank you Berry Much box
I thought it would make a nice change to create a cute bespoke box using the “Thank you Berry Much” witty-cism from the Witty-cisms stamp set to make a label instead of a card. I also shared some samples for cards I’d made using the imagery from this set. I’m sad it’s on the Last […]
Share Sunshine digital download – COVID19 giveback
Hot on the heels of the card I shared in my blog post on Sunday, I have another quick easy card using the same digital download from Share Sunshine. If you purchase this Share Sunshine digital downloadable pdf, 100% of the proceeds will go to the nominated WHO charities and surprisingly the 15 pages of […]
SHARE SUNSHINE PDF – COVID 19 GIVEBACK

Woven Heirlooms
Sadly in all families we have to endure the loss of a loved one and my sister-in-law rang to convey her sympathies. During our chat, it transpired that the lock down had prevented her from re-stocking or purchasing much needed cards for various occasions. It then occurred to me that as a crafter and Stampin’ […]
Looking Up Card Kit
During the enforced “Stay at Home” period, I’ve discovered kits I’d bought ages ago which have stayed in the box gathering dust! I hope by the time this publishes that we’re over the worst of the pandemic and that the numbers of people falling victim to COVID-19 will have plateaued and start to fall and […]
