A scientist's crafty side
Hi crafty friends, what are you up to this weekend? I noticed that my scraps box is full, so I will be dedicating my morning to sitting at my dining room table and sorting through all my card scraps to put them into my dedicated scrap pockets. How do you organise your scraps? Enjoy the… Continue reading Scrap sorting!
I'm so excited! I ordered the Tim Holtz Distress bundle for the brand new colour 'Speckled Egg' and it's arrived!! I didn't have any Distress Oxides or Distress Oxide sprays before I ordered this bundle, so I decided to order the Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide sprays as well so I could have… Continue reading Distress Speckled Egg haul and card
I cut down some white card to the same size as my card bases to create a card front and used my Nuvo Glimmer Paste and Prima stencil to create the raindrops for the background.

This week I made another card 'to sell' to my Mum because she asked for feminine birthday cards as well. My crafty mojo is rock bottom at the moment - unfortunately my Seasonal Affective Disorder is really bad at the moment, so I'm constantly tired and I just don't have any energy. I wake up,… Continue reading Birthday card using Pantone color of 2019 – Living Coral
My Mum talked to me over the holidays and told me that she had to buy some cards for upcoming birthdays and that when she got to the till the cost was extortionate - if I make cards, why don't I sell them? Well, to be honest I'd been thinking about it for a while… Continue reading Masculine Birthday card
This is the card I made for my Niece for her 15th birthday. It's her birthday today and I'm rather disappointed in my step-sister who said we were going to have a family celebration with my niece today, then when I texted her on Thursday morning to confirm what time the gathering would be she… Continue reading Teenage smart phone birthday card
Eurgh!!!! As per usual, I am WAAAAAAAY behind with making my thank you cards for Christmas presents... Honestly, I don't know where the time goes!? I wanted to try to make these cards 'quick and simple' so I could get them done and posted before New Year (groan...) so I went for a monochromatic colour… Continue reading Thank you cards
One of the PhD students in the lab I work in had his birthday this week. He LOVES foxes, so I wanted to use my XCut fox die again (see the card I made last year here) for his birthday card. Do you have a favorite animal? If so, what is your favorite animal and… Continue reading What does the fox say?
