Good day everyone! It’s Mothering Sunday next Sunday, and I still haven’t addressed doing a Mother’s Day card as my Mum lives in Australia, my birthplace and they don’t celebrate it until the second Sunday in May! I’ve scheduled a bonus video to rectify this for UK residents today and just hope that my Mum […]
Another Great Year
The sunshine has brightened my mood as you can see! So it’s out with the Brights palette using Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie. Have you spotted this stamp set from the Spring/Summer catty? I made this for the lovely Catherine who celebrated her birthday earlier this week so I can safely post it now! The […]
New Look Header
Yes, it’s still me! I wanted a fresher, simpler look and it seems eons ago since I actually opened up MDS (My Digital Studio) and played with it. Like the seasons, I like to ring the changes and it also sets me a challenge to work with the digital software at my fingertips. […]
VIDEO #33 – Clear Block Stamping

This week’s video featured the Fancy Foil Designer Vellums with the striped and bold polka dots foiled patterns. Here’s the one with the hearts. I also used the Large Scallop Edgelits for a decorative edge which overlaps the gold striped washi tape. It compliments it perfectly. I used gold foil to punch gold foil hearts […]
It’s Silver!
You’ve seen the gold vellum, here it is in silver. Don’t you think this will make a lovely silver wedding anniversary card? It doesn’t show up very well in this photo, but in fact that is silver baker’s twine. This is the perfect card for my hubby who has sported a moustache for all […]
VIDEO #32 – Fancy Gold Foil Designer Vellum Treat Holder
I found these delightful chocolate treats with a wooden spoon embedded in it for making hot chocolate with. They came in different flavours, and as I was making the gift packaging, the smell of dark mint chocolate kept wafting to my nostrils making my mouth water! In our fast paced materialistic world, sometimes it’s […]
