It was my birthday this week, and with presents come thank you letters! I made this card with a white base card and used the designer paper and decoupage set of Dovecrafts's 'Tea Party' (using less glue than for my niece's card!!).

Birthday card
One of my nieces is 4 this month, so I made her this card. I hope she likes it! I used a white square basecard. The flower paper is from the Dovecraft set 'Tea Party', that I just can't get enough of at the moment! I ripped the edges with a metal ruler to get… Continue reading Birthday card
Easter decorations
I saw these Easter egg decorations and ribbon in Hobby Craft and knew that my nieces would love them! I used acrylic paints to paint them in pastel colours to get the 'Easter colour palete'...
World TB Day

With Sympathy
A friend of mine lost his father to a long-term illness on New Years Day. He knew that his father was very ill but it was still upsetting when he passed away, so I made this card to let him know people are thinking of him in his time of grief. I used a pre-made… Continue reading With Sympathy
