Michael Strong December Challenge
For the month of December the lovely Michael challenged us to use the template he provided. It is basically a box, there’s a tab to close it so if you wanted to put a small gift in there it could be very useful (thinking chocolates jewellery…..). I’m afraid mine is anything but...
M-I-L Christmas Collection
Well, it serves her right! My M-I-L is always telling me how much she loves the cards I make so I decided that for her Christmas present this year I’d give her a box full of cards she can use throughout the year. She is 90 years old now and it’s so very hard to find something to buy for...
Sir Stampalot Challenge
At the Sir Stampalot Challenge Blog they’re asking “let your imagination run riot and show us what you will be sending out to friends and family this Christmastime”. Well, I’ve been making loads of different Christmas Cards for the past few months but I have to say that I’m...
Mother’s Day Card
We learned this card making technique at an all-day class (well, in one half of the day!) and I decided it was time to put the ideas into practice. My Mother-in-Law has a very green lounge so I decided to use green papers for this card. You can see in the photos below the 12×12 scrapbook papers...

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...
Art Nouveau Canvasses
My second set of canvasses were inspired by some lovely embroidery designs I got from Embroidery Library. Absolutely gorgeous designs but far too big to be embroidered on any articles of clothing – though they’d probably look really good on something like a shopping bag. Anyhow, I stitched...
Playtime
What a great evening we’ve just had! I invited a good friend of mine, Janet, to come play in my craftroom and also asked CarolineB (from the DoCraft Forum) to join us. We’ve never met Caroline before but have ‘spoken’ via email – she lives about 1/2 mile up the road from...
