Sorry seems to be the hardest word…

... but once you have said it, you feel so much better! My good friends C & L were married on 6th July, but I only got their invite in June and unfortunately it was just before my Step Brother's body was found so my mind was elsewhere. His funeral was on 2nd July so… Continue reading Sorry seems to be the hardest word…

Today is my Step Sister's birthday - her first since the loss of her older brother. I wanted to make her a card that was feminine but a bit elegant and different.

Because they are both male I decided I wanted to make the same card but with personal touches, such as the colours… Continue reading Good Luck!

I went to stay with my Fairy Godparents (long story) in Devon last weekend and had a lovely time! I wanted to send them a thank you card with a difference... I had some circular apeture cards in my stash so I decided to use one of those so I could get in lots of… Continue reading Mermaid card

5th Birthday Card

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.
