For Technique Club this month we made a hidden message card, a fun project to do and definitely with a WOW factor! The ladies worked extremely hard and learnt how to do this Grid Technique using a Scor-It tool and applying it to the hidden message card (butterfly image from Garden Whimsy). They also did […]

Pocket Silhouette
I had to set a challenge for a friend’s Club night last Thursday – a sketch challenge and this is the card I made from the sketch. It’s a really simple z-fold card. I used some retired scraps, stamped flowers from Pocket Silhouettes (one of my favourite sets) first in More Mustard, then in Old […]
Inspiring Inkin Get Together Chez Nous Saturday 11th July
I haven’t been able to blog recently. Life just got in the way. What cheered me up was my fellow Inspiring Inkin team mates and our lovely Stampin’ Up! Mummy came to visit last Saturday.

Rub Ons – Cherished Memories & Pretties Kit
