I did it !!! Four unique cards made from one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP ! Yesterday I published a cutting guide on a one sheet wonder over on my Facebook page. It was certainly a challenge because I didn’t like the reverse side of the paper! I solved the problem by introducing mat […]

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 […]

Happy Mother’s Day in the UK
Happy Mothering Sunday! I nearly missed today and had to do a quick re-shuffle of all my scheduled posts. How did that happen? Note to self – I’ll need to consult the calendar more often! With an empty nest, I’ve completely lost track of high days and holidays (read school vacations) let alone the days […]
Birthday Bonanza – Interactive card
Do you like interactive cards? I have some birthdays coming up for my grandsons so I’m ahead of myself this year! They are growing up far too quickly for my liking, and cute images like this won’t resonate with them for much longer as their tastes change and they develop more sophisticated tastes! The mechanism […]
