Trendy Trees, “Nellie’s” sister “Nina”
I’ve got elephants on my brain and knew that if I didn’t seize the moment and just get down to actually bringing the idea to life, I’d lie awake thinking of it all night and I’m a terrible insomniac and a light sleeper anyway. So “Nina” and her baby “Tessa” was born! Yes, I’ve given […]
A Work in Progress – Punch Art Album
I have been working on this album for some time now, but haven’t as yet had the opportunity to share as it is still a work in progress. Also there are a couple of projects in here which have been ear-marked for future classes/clubs/events so it would be folly to put it on my blog […]

Garden Dream, Bella Toile
In a bid to use some of the retiring colours – Blush Blossom and Orchid Opulence, I teamed it with Rich Razzleberry and Very Vanilla to make this card. I used the Hostess Level 3 stamp set called Garden Dream – stamped the floral image in Black Stazon and coloured in with an aqua pen […]
