Lily Birthday Card
My dear friend Denise had a very special birthday today – I’ll not tell you the number here – so I made her this huge card to celebrate the occasion. I had actually made a ‘Star Card’ but didn’t like it at all so that went into the round filing tray under my desk! I started...
March Saturday Sketch
This month the sketch at the Michael Strong Group was as shown to the right. Once again there have been loads of different interpretations of this, I chose to turn it on its side as you can see below. The card base is a simple cream card, there’s a layer of red card with simple rounded corners...
Michael Strong Sat Sketch

Valentine Challenge
A Valentine card with no red or pink in sight – that was the challenge thrown down by Michael Strong this week. I’m showing my contribution here, just the one scan this time as I didn’t think about photographing each step – it’s all quite simple really. I took a piece of recycled...
