A Touch of Nature, Solid Stripe

I had a lovely workshop last night where my Hostess wanted a masculine theme. I dug out “A Touch of Nature”, a set that must still be in demand and therefore a classic as it’s stood the test of time and I only recently acquired it and have not yet found the time to have […]

Fox & Friends, Trendy Trees, Vintage Vogue Spinner Card

A fun spinner card I made as a card sample for my kiddie’s themed workshop on Monday. The Barely Banana centre strip with the Word Window punched aperture was stamped with versamark using the smaller flower and the other floral motif stamp from Vintage Vogue. I stamped the tree images from Trendy Trees on Whisper […]

Shame!

My craft room and my desk has got to the stage where it’s impossible to do any work, so I’ve spent almost the entire morning tidying up so there’s room on my desk to put out some grid paper and get stamping and designing! I even turned down an offer to go out shopping as […]

Tiny Tags, Fox & Friends

At a workshop I did this Monday, my Hostess wanted the Tiny Tags and Fox & Friends sets for her Make & Take and to use blues, so this is what I came up with. Using the reverse masking technique, I sponged a 1 1/4″ circle in Bashful Blue on the inside of the card […]

I cut strips of cardstock in varying widths in Perfect Plum, Pale Plum and Blush Blossom from the Soft Subtles family and wove a “backdrop” which I framed in Blush […]

Tiny Tags, Fox & Friends, Sanded

Smashed!

My apologies for the lack of post – it hasn’t been a good week. We went to visit my daughter anxiously waiting for the arrival of a new grandchild, but baby didn’t arrive till after we got back – that is the GOOD part – we’re grandparents again and we get to meet him tomorrow […]

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I made this to hold all these lovely jelly sweets for Easter – it makes a nice change from having chocolate easter eggs, and when you’re on a diet, less sinful than chocolate! If truth be known, I’d rather have the chocolate, so there’s a bit of both! The box base is […]
