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 […]
Inspiring Inkin Challenge #7 A Technique Challenge, Tea Party DSP, Playful Petals

Inspiring Inkin Challenge #6 Christmas in July
I struggled with this one as we were not allowed to use the traditional red or green for a christmas card. In the end I chose a night scene using Lovely as a Tree, Winter Post and Best Yet stamp sets. I used a masking technique for the moon and skaters and left the foreground […]
