Over Bank Holiday Weekend we managed to actually go out for some leisure time. Something we’ve not had or even contemplated (except to go out and eat) during the house renovations. I can’t tell you how good that felt! We found this all black china soap dispenser and scourer holder which matched our new kitchen […]
Inspiring Inkin Challenge #2
This is the picture from which we had to draw inspiration for our challenge. I am thrilled to be part of the Inspiring Inkin’ Design Team and this is my card for Challenge #2 today. “Try something new that you have not yet used” – I’ve never made a 6″ x 6″ card before, so […]
Technique Club – Painting with Bleach
This is one of the techniques the ladies were shown on Thursday. I love the watermark effect versamark gives. I like its subtlety. “Bloom” and its definition were stamped in versamark. Instead of tying the customary knot, I thought punching six holes and weaving the Elegant Eggplant ribbon would make a nice change. The […]
Haiku Designer Series Paper

A Bit of Comfort
On Monday, the carpet layer came and laid our new carpet. That has made such a difference! We have our home back now – more or less. I got to unpack our new suite at long last, and more importantly, we had somewhere to SIT! I can’t describe what a struggle it’s been over […]
Crazy for Cupcakes, 18th Birthday
It was my niece’s 18th birthday recently and I made this for her. I used a strip of Certainly Celery, the polka dot CC DSP, stamped cupcakes on cake stand image and balloons in black stazon and coloured in with water colour crayons, blending with aqua brush, used stamp-a-majig to position sentiment, cut out […]
