Eeeek!!! It's my friend's birthday on Friday, so I'm cutting it very fine for finishing his card (thankfully I've had his present wrapped for ages, so I know that will arrive on time!)

Thank you
The same friend who asked me to make him a Baptism card also did some cat sitting and watered my Mum's garden whilst I was in Gloucestershire at the BAPSH Championship, so I wanted to make him a quick thank you card. I already had an idea for a card that I had wanted to… Continue reading Thank you
Baptism Card

'Pool Party' card stock, that I stamped with the… Continue reading Granny’s 94th Birthday!

I hope you've all had a nice weekend (despite the weather not being able to make up it's mind!!)? The challenge on Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge is 'Anything Goes', so I thought I would use my 'Festive Foliage' stamps & new dies 🙂 I bet other crafters don't have this problem, but I'm not very into… Continue reading WMFC#21 Anything Goes!
