Awww! My youngest niece is going to infant school for the first time next week!! Last year I made a card for each of her two sisters because they were starting new schools (one had gone up to junior school and her other sister started infant school), she must have felt so left out still… Continue reading First Day at School

Beach bum
Hmmm... another male colleague's birthday (how inconvenient of all these blokes to make me have to think really hard about so many different male birthday cards in such a short space of time) This colleague jokes about how lazy he is - he will wheel his chair around the office rather than walk & often… Continue reading Beach bum
Pinwheel take 2
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. I… Continue reading Pinwheel take 2

Olympics
Not long now! I know two people who are going to be Games Makers and one friend's mother is an Olympic Torch Bearer! So I decided to make them cards. I purchased some purlescent cards and purlescent purple envelopes. I stamped the Penny Black tourch carrying mouse from 'Love London' onto white card and coloured… Continue reading Olympics
Anniversary
Wow!! I can't believe it's been almost one year since I attended my school friends' wedding! Because your one year anniversary is your paper anniversary, what better way to commemorate than with a card? I decided to use my Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this... So I started with a textured white base card and… Continue reading Anniversary
