Michael Strong August Challenge
This was such a cute sketch to work with, my entry used the Large Cloisonné Vase with parts of it trimmed off for a different shape. I mounted it onto a die-cut scalloped oval with some sparkly thread wrapped around it. The background is card run through my Wizard in an inked embossing folder to give...
All Creatures Great and Small
Sir Stampalot are having their February Challenge and the theme is All Creatures Great and Small and I thought I’d have a go. I firstly dug out this lovely stamp from Third Coast Rubber Stamps of a cat with wings (I can’t direct you to the exact stamp – they have thousands of them! Go...
Michael Strong Stamps
As a Christmas Gift, Nigel bought me some Michael Strong Stamps taking advantage of the free postage he was offering for a few weeks. I have admired these for a long time so jumped at the chance to get some at last. Most of Michael’s stamps are this Cloisonné style and his site has some great...

Christmas Cards 2009
A few years ago I decided to go green and not send Christmas Cards – instead I donated the money to charity. A couple of years later I decided that I really did enjoy making cards too much to carry on being green so I’ve gone back to old ways. This year, I had all my cards made by early November,...
