So... Here goes... Someone once told me to spend time with positive people so their positivity would rub off in your life and not to spend time with miserable people because they will bring you down & turn all your good news around to negative. I don't know exactly how true that is, but I… Continue reading Little Bliss List
Thinking of you
My step mother lives in Thailand and sometimes it's hard to stay in touch, so I made her this card to give her something nice to open in the post that isn't a bill & let her know I think of her. I purchased some cascade cards and stamped one section with KaiserCraft's 'Script' in… Continue reading Thinking of you
Olympics
Not long now! I know two people who are going to be Games Makers and one friend's mother is an Olympic Torch Bearer! So I decided to make them cards. I purchased some purlescent cards and purlescent purple envelopes. I stamped the Penny Black tourch carrying mouse from 'Love London' onto white card and coloured… Continue reading Olympics
Anniversary
Wow!! I can't believe it's been almost one year since I attended my school friends' wedding!

I bought a Papermania Portobello Road Scrapbook and some textured white 12x12 pages today, now I just need to figure out what to… Continue reading Scrapbook

After we had crossed the bridge my parents said, "It's such a lovely day and Battersea… Continue reading Diamond Jubilee
Jubilee cards
I made 12 of these cards - the second mass-production of cards I've done now!

Sponge applicators for Distress inks

Ahoy sailor!
I made this card for a man who owns a part share of a boat - men are SO hard to make cards for so I hope the nautical theme isn't lost on him! Because it was intended for a man I wanted it to be very simple, with a rather masculine colour palette so… Continue reading Ahoy sailor!
