Easter Baskets for the Sunday Craft Fair

What to do with extra cards

What to do with extra cards

Last month I had a few thank you cards left over. I tend to make them in batches, (in fact I now take them to work with me in a small box and sit in the coffee house at lunchtime and work on them , it's a great break from the day job) and I ended up with four spares...

A Fresh Vintage petal box

Today's project is a cute little box of chocs to match the card I shared in the March newsletter. Haven't seen the card? Don't get my newsletter yet? Why not give it a try. We send out two issues each month and they each have an exclusive project that I don't share...

7 days to Valentine’s – day 7

Guest designer with a bright, zingy gift bag

My guest designer this week (yes, it seems to be becoming a regular feature ) is Mari and she's made a bright, zingy gift bag, guaranteed to chase away the winter blues. If you're a regular reader then you may know that I made Mari this gift bag at Christmas: Well she...
