Crazy for Cupcakes

I needed extra samples for the Crazy for Cupcakes set – so I dashed this one off real quick.  I used the Tea Party DSP matted on to Almost Amethyst, stamped the big fairy cake image in versamark, sprinkled with Black Embossing Powder, heat embossed, then used the markers and blender pens to colour it […]

Cheers to You

Do you ever sometimes put aside your first attempts or bodge a project only to have to start all over again?  I did this with an earlier project – the Easter basket, and its handle with that lovely Brocade Blue grosgrain ribbon which was just too good to throw away.  Well, I found another use […]

Break Through! End of Day 5

The first fix electrics are almost done.   They’ve been drilling holes in the existing kitchen ceiling to fit […]

Day 4, End of Week 1 Building work
