Fresh as a Daisy
Last weekend I attended the Happy Stampers Spring Stamp Festival at Port Sunlight. As usual, there was a competition, this year entitled ‘Fresh as a Daisy’. It had a size limitation and the stipulation that it contain mainly stamped images, of course. Over the years I have entered this...
Pyramid Boxes
There was a competition held by one of my favourite stamp manufacturers – Non Sequitur – to make something using their images and email the photos to them when done. I did quite a few different things but the one that I really
Book Exchange 2008
At our Rubber Stamping Club last year we had a round-robin book exchange. Those taking part were split into groups of 5 or 6 people and we each chose a theme for our own particular book. We made or bought a book and decorated the covers

The sketch for this challenge can be seen here at the Mojo Monday site, a lovely challenge this week which I really enjoyed doing.
Diamond Wedding
My husband’s aunt and uncle are about to celebrate 60 years together! Wow, some achievement. I’m not really very good at Bookatrix cards but thought I’d have another go for this special occasion. There are a few more photos
Engagement card
Both of my sons think that cards are a waste of time! What can I say….I thought I’d done a pretty good job of raising them but I guess I failed somewhere…. My younger son got engaged just before Christmas last year and I had to make a card even if ‘he doesn’t do cards!’...
MojoMonday 77
The challenge for this week can be seen at Mojo Monday – I think I will send this one to my sister as a thank you card. The main card base is a heavy, dark green textured card folded in half and stamped in red ink with a small, art deco stamp; an extra piece of the same was wrapped in a pretty silver...
Red, Black and Gold
At our Stamping Club we have the option to do some ‘homework’ – we’re given a challenge and then we describe how we made the cards at the next meeting. Some of them are really tricky, you don’t always feel inspired, but this theme – make a card using only red, black and gold...
Our Mackintosh bedroom
If you can see the carpet at all on these photos then please ignore it! We did some major re-working in our house, added a corridor through the end of our bedroom, moved an en-suite loo into what was the old corridor, etc., etc, so the carpet was a real patchwork for a while until we finished all the...
Faces
Some time ago I was challenged to use ‘face stamps’ in a variety of ways. This one is a stamp from Rubbadubadoo, it was inked just once and therefore the images get more faded. I tore the paper round the three faces, coloured the edges with a darker shade of purple than the cardstock and...
Mojo Monday 76
This is my first attempt at a Mojo Monday Challenge – until this week I had never tried following a ‘sketch’ and now I’ve done two! (The other one is called Challenge43 and is a DoCraft Forum one.) So, I made the basic card out of some heavy blue cardstock, trimmed down a little...
Challenge43
On the DoCraft Forum there is a weekly challenge – this is my first attempt at it. The sketch was for a square card with two squares and a circle on it plus a sentiment. The card was cut down from cream A4 textured card (and the remnant used below) and coloured round the edges with a blue ink pad....
