This is the card I made for my BIL’s birthday. I used the Haiku DSP for the decorative strips and Really Rust to mat with. To position the images from the Scene in a Garden stamp set exactly where I wanted them, I used my old faithful SU stamp-a-majig. Images were coloured in with water […]

Ringing the Changes and my musings
Whilst not really wishing the summer away, I’m getting ahead of myself and giving my blog another makeover – more autumnal colours this time so when Halloween comes, it’ll coordinate!

Pressie from Down Under
My brother-in-law arrived from Melbourne bearing gifts – my baby sister had sent me all the in colour ribbons and cardstock which are current in the Aussie SU catty! These colours have been retired from the US catty, but I still love them and prefer them to the new in colours in the US catty. […]
Anniversary card
It happens to all of us – and I’ve been stuck for inspiration. In order to regain my mojo, I had to turn my attention to my private stamp collection (stamp sets not currently in the SU Europe Idea Book and Catalogue and non SU products). So this card is a combo of SU […]
