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 […]

Ornate Style with Peaceful Moments
I have another sample I made to show case the Ornate Garden Suite. Being a Demo, we get to play with this newly released Ornate Style Bundle even earlier! I made this birthday card for one of my team whose birthday was in March which appeared on my instagram account a few weeks ago. […]
