A scientist's crafty side
Last month I had a long weekend in Devon with my Fairy Godparents, it was so nice to get away from my PhD deadlines for a few days! My parents looked after the kittens whilst I was away so they were at home, not in a cattery. I wanted to give my Godparents a thank… Continue reading Autumnal Thank you card
My Australian Cousin has dual citizenship and is living and working in the UK, but he does go home to see his family at Christmas. I wanted to make him a Christmas card with the Lawn Fawn 'Critters Down Under' stamps and matching die set. Firstly I die cut the mountain range from the Tattered… Continue reading Cousin’s Christmas card
Squeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been saving for a TODO for I think maybe a year, but everytime I had a bit saved up I either saw some stamps and dies I HAD to have or the kittens needed a vet trip, so I thought I'd never get one, but then Create and Craft TV had a half… Continue reading New addition!!!
On Monday it will be my friend's birthday, I finished off his card last night but let the Crystal Drops dry overnight. He is an avid supporter of Chelsea Ladies football club, so when Tattered Lace brought out the Footballers die set with the lady footballer I had to use it for his card.

Today is my 'Fairy Godmother's… Continue reading Cats in a box card
Today is my cousin's birthday, so I'd like to share the card I've made for her with you this afternoon. I've been pinning LOADS of cards recently, and was so taken with them all that I lost my mojo. Do you get that some times? I'm so excited by new ideas that I don't sit… Continue reading Cousin’s Birthday card
Have you seen Suicide Squad at the cinema? I went to see it at the weekend with a friend and we enjoyed it but felt that the costumes were very tailored to a male audience. I loved all the promotional artwork though - a mix of Neon and classic comic book style. Today is my… Continue reading Suicide Squad inspired birthday card
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the whole of my blog post will be in capital letters!! I've just seen the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember dream craft room giveaway and I was SOOOOO excited - it's an AMAZING prize, but as I'm not a resident in the United States I can't enter... sad times! 😦 Oh… Continue reading SSS STAMPtember
My Step Mother lives in Hua Hin in Thailand, and so when I heard about the bombings on Friday I was fearful that she might have been injured or killed. Thankfully she was at home because the bombings were early in the morning so she wasn't out and about at the time. I wanted to… Continue reading Umbrella card
