At time of writing, we were seeing our son on the weekend to take him out for a celebratory birthday lunch. I still can’t quite believe we have a son who is now in his early 40s!!! I wanted a quick and simple card which would reflect his love of cars, and in Stampin’ Up!’s […]

New!!! Second Release Sale-a-bration items!
Yay! Only a very short lead in time to bring you some new items which have been added to the Sale-a-bration brochure! You’ll love it – The Country Floral Dynamic TIEF is a Level 1 item and it was too pretty to cover up in the card so I’ve let it “sing” and only embellished […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
To those that “do” – Happy Valentine’s Day! and please spare a thought for those that can’t or don’t. I say this every year, because I’m so aware – life happens and there are widow or widowers out there or people who are lonely or destitute through no fault of their own. So to mark […]

My thoughts have been veering to Valentine cards of late, before you know it, the 14th will have come and gone so I thought I better get […]
Amazing Life Challenge
As promised here is the video tutorial I mentioned previously, so the layout looks familiar! I had challenged myself to make a Valentine card with this set using the sentiment “So Happy to Have You in my Life”. This set didn’t have anything remotely “Valentine”-ish, so I cheated a little and added another stamp set […]
Meant to Be
Hello and a Happy Sunday to you! I resisted and resisted the temptation to get this set but in the end, the pull of the faux stitching on the dies that coordinate with this set was too great and I caved! The detailed filigree heart is from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits, so this is […]
