A scientist's crafty side
I'm so happy with the way this card turned out! Jennifer McGuire has made several bridge cards lately and I wanted to give a bridge card a go, but because I'm trying to make as many slimline cards as possible this month I decided to combine the bridge card concept with a slimline card size.… Continue reading Slimline bridge card
I made this card for my eldest step sister's birthday (it's a BIG birthday) so I wanted to push the boat out so this card is ALL about the glitter!!! I coated some black card with Elizabeth Craft double sided adhesive and die cut the butterfly with the adhesive side up. I removed the backing… Continue reading Glitter butterfly birthday card using Elizabeth Crafts dies
Today is my Godmother's 70th Birthday. I made her an exploding box as a special birthday card and gave it to her a few days ago, so I'll share it with you now.

My youngest niece had her 5th birthday this week and there was a family birthday party yesterday (it was also her granddad's birthday this week too!) Everyone had a lovely time.

So I popped to HobbyCraft… Continue reading Easter cards with my nieces
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
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!!
