Next week it will be Chinese New Year, the year of the monkey. Outside China the next largest celebration of Chinese New Year is in London - so if you ever get the chance go to China town in London to enjoy the festivities. I've made a Chinese New Year card for my step mother… Continue reading Happy Chinese New Year
Lose yourself to dance
Now that she is at Grammar School, my eldest niece has become a complete 'tweenager' and her younger sisters are 'so childish' and she is desperate to be seen as a big girl, so I had to make her a birthday card that wasn't 'girly', but more refined/edgy/grown up. All three of my Nieces love… Continue reading Lose yourself to dance
Moo-chas grass-ias!
I've made my Christmas thank-you cards, at last, so I'm going to share them with you. I'm always trying to look for novel thank you card ideas. I learned Spanish for a year at school, but because I was struggling in other subjects I was forced to give it up. So my Spanish has never… Continue reading Moo-chas grass-ias!

Best Friend’s birthday card
Hi all! I just wanted to share the CAS birthday card I made for my best friend. Having a December birthday sucks - everyone always gives her birthday/Christmas combined presents, so I wanted to make her a lovely birthday card to go with her birthday presents to make sure she feels special. I die cut… Continue reading Best Friend’s birthday card

She loves card making too and she loves to recieve handmade cards so I wanted… Continue reading Step-Mother’s birthday card
Step-Sister’s birthday card
Today is my eldest step-sister's birthday, I'll be going to see her later today, but before I go I'll post her card and present here. I must admit I bought her present in May and started work on this project back in August, but with very little urgency. So it was only right at the… Continue reading Step-Sister’s birthday card
Hey Ghoul-friend!
I saw this greeting in a stamp set somewhere, I couldn't justify getting the stamp set, but I have alphabet stamps, so I wanted to make it with my alphabet stamps. My last blog post hinted that I was stressed and rather unhappy and as a crafter I know that colouring is a really good… Continue reading Hey Ghoul-friend!
Autumnal thank-you
I'm so blessed - I've been working really hard recently and I found it was affecting my mood - I went on Facebook and all my friends were sharing how wonderful their lives were and how they just couldn't be happier. I had been working 11/12 and 13 hour days and been unable to fit… Continue reading Autumnal thank-you
Stylish Birthday Card
Today is my friend's birthday & I've popped his card and present through his door so I can share this with you now. He's always been very image conscious; well groomed and well dressed with shiny shoes. So I felt wishing him a stylish birthday would be a nice twist on the 'happy birthday' sentiment.… Continue reading Stylish Birthday Card
