Hmmm... I was going for a grungy look, this is my first pinwheel card, but I rushed it, so I'm not too sure about the finished product - it didn't turn out exactly how I had planned. When I got back from Reading Festival I realised I only had a few evenings left to complete… Continue reading Pinwheel card
Reading Festival 2012
Yay!!! I came back from Reading Festival 2012 yesterday! It is so nice to be CLEAN and RESTED today, but I had an amazing weekend... We were rather lucky with the weather - it only really rained on Saturday (the heavens opened whilst I was right up at the front for Florence and the Machine,… Continue reading Reading Festival 2012
Bicycle Birthday Card
Today is my Mum's birthday and also a collegue's birthday so I decided to make him a card this weekend. A while back I saw a challenge entry/inspiration by Mariana Grigsby called 'bicycle color trends challenge' for Embellish Magazine and I loved some of the entries - so many different bicycle stamps & ideas &… Continue reading Bicycle Birthday Card
I think this is a lovely idea, so I'm going to join in - follow the instructions to both give and receive something handmade at some time over the next year!
Geek Out!
I subscribe to a few craft blogs & this was Freshly Pressed - http://sweetsavoryblog.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/geek-out/ and I thought I just HAVE to make a list of the things I geek out about too! 1. Gingers!!!! They DO have souls! and they are beautiful, funny, pale and interesting and for some reason I find them irresistable! 2.… Continue reading Geek Out!
Birthday and Anniversary!
Wow! I haven't done much crafting other than my scrap book for ages and then suddenly lots of important card-worthy events loom up on the horizon!! I must excuse the photography - the flash on my camera has died and so for some reason it seems unable to take good photos, I must get a… Continue reading Birthday and Anniversary!
Olympic Showjumping

Waving a huge 'Team GB' Union Flag around in my seat at Greenwich Park I was amazed when we managed to get Team Gold for Equestrian Jumping! I took lots and lots and lots of… Continue reading Olympic Showjumping
2012 Scrapbook
Hi Everyone! I mentioned a while back that I had bought a scrapbook for 2012 and I said I would include some of the pages on this blog, but I've been very tardy in putting them up! Anyway I've decided that as I'm creating some of the pages months after the event that it will… Continue reading 2012 Scrapbook
Pass it on
This is an amazing idea!!! I’ve got to try this for something… Now frantically thinking what for…
Update: I’ve officially become Freshly Pressed! Yay! 🙂
Ever look at a scratch-off lotto ticket and think, “I wonder how they did that?” Well, you can create your own scratch-off cards in minutes! Use this technique to create save-the-date wedding invites, coupon scratch-offs for businesses or holidays, or hide a secret message!
To make your own scratch-offs, you will need:
Something you want to turn into a scratch-off
Clear packing tape or contact paper
Acrylic craft paint in any color (metallic makes it more realistic)
Scissors
Paint brush
Dish soap
Hairdryer (optional)
1. Create your card, or get your card ready if it’s already made. For this project, I am creating my own Florida Trivia scratch-offs, which I made using the GIMP photo editor. To reveal the answer of the Florida Trivia questions, someone will have to scratch it off. 😉 I created 4 different question cards and…
