Helping others to celebrate

Helping others to celebrate

Well yesterday I had a great reason to celebrate for myself (thanks for everyone's good wishes) and today I'm busy helping my work colleagues to celebrate. Several of them passed exams recently and two have now completed their Advanced Diploma qualification for...

Casing Andy Warhol

A sad occasion

A sad occasion

Do you find it difficult to create sympathy cards too? I hate the occasion for the card and I think it stifles my creativity. And it's not appropriate (at least in this case), to make the card too fancy. On the other hand it is important to let my friend know I'm...

Mother’s Day Easel Card

Mother’s Day Easel Card

Here's a Mother's Day card I made  for the craft fair yesterday. I think the Queen for a Day sentiment is perfect for Mother's Day and the teeny crown from the sale-a-bration set works well with it (especially blinged up with some of our super shiny rhinestones)....

7 days to Valentine’s – day 7

7 days to Valentine’s – day 5

Whoops! Sorry. I was so busy with class yesterday that I forgot to post but don't worry I'll make up for it by posting twice today so that there'll still be 7 days of valentine's projects. Today's card is a romantic one with a vintage look and lots of ribbon. Recipe...

7 days to Valentine’s – day 4

I'm back with another quick and easy design today, for the next in the series of valentine's day projects. Here I've been busy with the punches again, I love creating apertures with them. And for those asking where I get my Hershey's chocolate from ... please keep...
