Did you remember to put your clock forward an hour for today? It’ll fool us in thinking that perhaps we had a lay-in this morning (wink). Having pipped myself at the post last Sunday with a bonus video on making a Mother’s Day card, I had to make another to post for today! Didn’t plan […]

Petal Parade meets Banner Blast
I don’t know how I missed publishing this. Blast from the past, I made this way back at the end of January for my pre-launch Sale-a-bration and Spring/Summer catty event and just plain forgot to post it! This one uses the Kaleidoscope papers. The original design was by Monica Gale and I made a few […]
VIDEO #34 – You’re Lovely Deco Frame Card
As promised, here’s a video for making a card with the clear block watercolour stamping technique featured last Wednesday. Enjoy. The stamp set I used is called “You’re Lovely” and is a Sale-a-bration one, free with each £45 purchase. Only 5 more days to get those freebies before Sale-a-bration 2014 ends. It’s not too late […]
Extra! Extra! – See Mother’s Day Bonus Video
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 […]

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
Today’s video is a technique I taught to my club ladies this month using re-inkers and an aqua painter to apply paint to the clear block then stamp with it. Enjoy. If you haven’t tried this technique before, I hope this has inspired you to give it a go. You can speed up the drying […]
It’s All Gold!
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 […]
