It’s always a conundrum each year – how to do a masculine non-hearts and flowers type Valentine’s card and to veer away from a black and red combo! I took the inspiration from the Spring/Summer catalogue – they nailed it with pool party and real red – so why change it if it’s perfection personified? […]
Delicate Details
Sunshine forecast for this weekend and what a difference it makes when the sun shines! We went to see our son yesterday and took him and his family out for a belated birthday lunch. So lovely spending time with the family. When they fly the nest – work, life and the distance that divides us […]
Cool Treats Bundle – Joy Fold Card
This Friday’s Fun project is a rather large square “Joy Fold” card. I’ve made rectangular ones before but thought it would be cool to try my hand at a square one. It struck me that Watermelon Wonder will be retiring at the end of May as this is one of the 2015-17 In Colors. Consequently […]
Cupcakes & Carousels
Trip down memory lane – way back in June 2011, I undertook a mahoosive project and actually made a carousel using Stampin’ Up! product – you can see it here. This in turn translated into a hexagonal box creation which had a lid for one of my launches – see it here…….. and today it’s been updated […]

Celebrations Duo TIEF
For today’s Fun Friday project we’re looking at the Celebrations Duo TIEF, which debosses an image rather than raise it.

It was […]

Happy Sunday!
Feeling decidedly chilled today. I’m an Archery “widow” most Sundays and inadvertently I end up in my craft room “doing” something – usually filming whilst I have the house to myself. I decided I’d take a proper day off as I attended a Team meeting yesterday and these were the swaps I made. I […]
