As we are into our eighth week of lockdown, we have progressed from “Stay at Home” to “Stay Alert”. The good news is that some shops like Garden Centres are now allowed to trade so long as social distancing at 2 metres apart is maintained. Just the time to break out Grace’s Garden stamp set! […]
Outdoor Barbecue – Centre Step Fold card
With the warmer weather approaching, our thoughts turn to barbecues! The supermarkets are filled with marinaded barbecue meat and fresh salads and it means I get a day off from cooking! I don’t know if it’s true of your household, but it seems to be a “man” thing to get the barbecue going so I […]
Witty-cisms – Looking Sharp
What do you do with a Saguaro cactus? They’re prickly and not exactly pretty looking plants. They grow in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona where we saw them up close and personal and only then did I appreciate that these tree like cacti can grow up to 40 ft in height, or more and are […]
Witty-cisms Cute Thank you Berry Much box
I thought it would make a nice change to create a cute bespoke box using the “Thank you Berry Much” witty-cism from the Witty-cisms stamp set to make a label instead of a card. I also shared some samples for cards I’d made using the imagery from this set. I’m sad it’s on the Last […]

If you purchase this Share Sunshine digital downloadable pdf, 100% of the proceeds will go to the nominated WHO charities and surprisingly the 15 pages of […]
SHARE SUNSHINE PDF – COVID 19 GIVEBACK

Faux double box with Parisian Blossoms
I love this faux double box – it gives the illusion of being a box within a box. The papers I used are Parisian Blossoms DSP. I cannot claim ownership of this fabulous creation – that goes to a Demonstrator from Germany – Petra Kaeß so thank you Petra for the inspiration. I used the […]
By the Dock – Polaroid effect card
We’ve been bemoaning the fact that there aren’t enough stamp sets for the boys, but there have been quite a few new ones in recent times. Take this “By the Dock” stamp set for example. I think it’s suitable for everyone, especially if you love tinkering by the water, or live on the coast. The […]
