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 Cute Thank you Berry Much box
I thought it would make a nice change to create a cute bespoke box using the “Thank you Berry Much” witty-cism from the Witty-cisms stamp set to make a label instead of a card. I also shared some samples for cards I’d made using the imagery from this set. I’m sad it’s on the Last […]
Share Sunshine digital download – COVID19 giveback
Hot on the heels of the card I shared in my blog post on Sunday, I have another quick easy card using the same digital download from Share Sunshine. If you purchase this Share Sunshine digital downloadable pdf, 100% of the proceeds will go to the nominated WHO charities and surprisingly the 15 pages of […]
Faux double box with Parisian Blossoms
I love this faux double box – it gives the illusion of being a box within a box. The papers I used are Parisian Blossoms DSP. I cannot claim ownership of this fabulous creation – that goes to a Demonstrator from Germany – Petra Kaeß so thank you Petra for the inspiration. I used the […]

I hope by the time this publishes that we’re over the worst of the pandemic and that the numbers of people falling victim to COVID-19 will have plateaued and start to fall and […]
Timeless Tropical Bundle – Origami shirt topper
As time marches on and we’re still in lockdown, I hope you’re all OK and adjusting to this new “norm”. I keep telling myself, it’s temporary and it’s for our own safety, but I know that some of you may be struggling from being socially isolated. I’m amazed at how resourceful people have been to […]
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 […]
