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

A friend of mine will be attending a Baptism this month & he asked me to make a Baptism card for him. Well, where to start??? I was never Baptised & I've only attended two when I was about 10 or 12 so I was a bit lost to be honest! I looked on pinterest… Continue reading Baptism Card

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!

I'm sure regular visitors to my blog will have worked out that I love IndigoBlu stamps, but I have recently discovered Acid Drops & Whatnots too, and they make a great team!!!
