Having shielded up until 30 June, I am looking forward to being able to explore further afield! Open fields, hearing bird song and communing with nature beckons and I can’t wait! The thought of “freedom” inspired this card. The stamps are photo- polymer. They are clear so you can see exactly where you’re stamping. To […]

Teeny One Sheet Wonder – Flowers for Every Season
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 […]

Jumping Jack boxes in a Matchbox!
Remember the rage with loom rubber bands? You could make all kinds of bracelets with them and my grandsons went through a phase when they were really expert at making them. They’ve grown out of it now but I’ve still got a box leftover full of these loom bands and I’ve found an alternative use […]
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 […]
