Birthday girl and guest designer

It's my birthday today (lots of candles but I'm not sharing the numbers lol) and so I've been busy celebrating. Yay! Thanks for all the birthday wishes and cards. I'll share a few more of them over the next day or so, for now I'd like to share the birthday card that...

Framelits for Father’s Day

Framelits for Father’s Day

Usually I keep men's cards very simple - not too many layers or embellishments, My Father's Day card today though, strays a little from those design principles. The combination of the Open Sea stamp set (W123030 or C123032), the new Labels Collection framelit dies...

A birthday card using my free stamp set

A birthday card using my free stamp set

At the Regional Training on Saturday we were all given a free stamp set - Mixed Bunch. Now I love this stamp set and had a terrible time resisting buying it on pre-order, knowing that I’d be getting it free 6-7 weeks later (that’s a long time!). I’ve been so impatient...

The rest of the swaps

Today I’m back with the rest of my swaps from the Regional Training on Saturday. Here are the ones that can lie flat: And a few 3d swaps that wouldn’t really lay down on the boards: I had to work flat out from designing my own swap on Thursday morning to finishing...
