Ah-ha! Things always work better the second time around (practice makes perfect!) I've decided to do another pinwheel card for a colleague's son's first birthday (Awww, I know - they grow up so fast!) but as this one is for a little boy I used a different colour scheme from my first pinwheel card.

Pinwheel card
Hmmm... I was going for a grungy look, this is my first pinwheel card, but I rushed it, so I'm not too sure about the finished product - it didn't turn out exactly how I had planned.

Olympic Showjumping
I've spent almost the whole afternoon screaming for all our wonderful Equestrial Athletes (& their horses!!) for their amazing performances!!!!! Waving a huge 'Team GB' Union Flag around in my seat at Greenwich Park I was amazed when we managed to get Team Gold for Equestrian Jumping! I took lots and lots and lots of… Continue reading Olympic Showjumping
2012 Scrapbook
Hi Everyone! I mentioned a while back that I had bought a scrapbook for 2012 and I said I would include some of the pages on this blog, but I've been very tardy in putting them up! Anyway I've decided that as I'm creating some of the pages months after the event that it will… Continue reading 2012 Scrapbook
