This card involved lots of elements! I was hoping to enter it in the February Lilli of the Valley Monthly Challenge, but I finished it too late... My Mum simply adores gardening, so even though the stamp used is one of the boys from Lilli of the Valley, it always makes me think of her!… Continue reading Mother’s Day card 2014

Fields of Gold
Eeek!! OK didn't leave myself enough time to finish this one - I've got another card in the pipeline that I would love to enter in the 'Name That Tune' monthly competition, but I won't finish it in time! I have created an Easel card using the 'In the Country' stamp from Lili of the… Continue reading Fields of Gold
London Calling Birthday Card
When I got this Penny Black stamp as a freebee from the Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine I subscribe to I loved it to bits!!! But I think a stamp is for life, not just 2012, so I'm giving it another shot at fame... The base card is a Craft Creations Side Stepper, I inked the… Continue reading London Calling Birthday Card
Get better soon
My Grandmother has fallen over & fractured her femur. It was pinned back together and now she is undergoing physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Because of her advanced age, she has very few friends, so she won't get many cards, so every little helps & I know she will enjoy getting a card. I started out with… Continue reading Get better soon
Folk art thank you card
I got an amazing late Christmas present (it was FAR too heavy to put in the post, which is why it had to wait until we met!) so I wanted to create a thank you card. I started off with a black A6 base card and a piece of black card. I stamped the Waltzingmouse… Continue reading Folk art thank you card
Sailing boat birthday card
On Tuesday it will be my Fairy Godmother's husband's birthday (which sort of makes him my Fairy Godfather...). They used to live on their yacht together sailing around the world, so I know he loves boats. I saw the 'Happy Birthday old salt' sentiment in the Waltzingmouse 'Ocean Bound' stamp set & it was made… Continue reading Sailing boat birthday card

This week is a Danish friend's birthday (no prizes for guessing her name as I've put it on the front of the card!) I started with a dark green 6x6 card base. I used some cream card and stamped it with 'Spell it Out' by Whimsy Stamps in Jet Black Archival Ink and Stampin' UP… Continue reading Scrabble Card
Four leaf clover good luck card
I'm sorry my photography skills are not up to the task - it looks quite good in real life!!! One of the PhD students in my lab has her Viva Voce to defend her Thesis on Monday 27th - eeeek!!!!! So I wanted to make her a good luck card to wish her well... I… Continue reading Four leaf clover good luck card
10th Birthday Card
Today is my eldest Niece's birthday, but because I've been ill for the last few days I didn't get her card completed until today! I used a white 6x6 tent-fold card for the base. I cut the green square from some patterned paper I got as a freebee with Cardmaking and Papercraft and attached it… Continue reading 10th Birthday Card
Thank you
Eurgh! I've been very ill this weekend - I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me because I've been sick since Thursday & I'm only just beginning to feel better! My Mum always works incredibly hard over Christmas feeding and entertaining the whole family, and we always SAY thank you, but sometimes it… Continue reading Thank you
