A scientist's crafty side
Last month I had a long weekend in Devon with my Fairy Godparents, it was so nice to get away from my PhD deadlines for a few days! My parents looked after the kittens whilst I was away so they were at home, not in a cattery. I wanted to give my Godparents a thank… Continue reading Autumnal Thank you card
My Australian Cousin has dual citizenship and is living and working in the UK, but he does go home to see his family at Christmas. I wanted to make him a Christmas card with the Lawn Fawn 'Critters Down Under' stamps and matching die set.

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you've had a good weekend? I've had a nice gentle weekend in preparation for my next big experiment that starts on Monday, so I won't be cardmaking as much as I would like over the next two months, so I apologise for less frequent posts! Today is my 'Fairy Godmother's… Continue reading Cats in a box card
Today is my cousin's birthday, so I'd like to share the card I've made for her with you this afternoon. I've been pinning LOADS of cards recently, and was so taken with them all that I lost my mojo.

I'm going to my friends birthday party today, so I'll share the card I made for him now before I leave. As the Wimbledon tennis Championships is on at the moment I wanted to make a Wimbledon-themed card. I found this Tennis Racket die by Leane Creatief, which is just perfect for this card! I… Continue reading You’re Ace birthday card
Hmmm... The kittens are adorable, but they are annoying too!! I had made a 50th birthday card using loads of die cut letters and managed to keep them out of the paws (and mouths!) of the kittens, stuck the card together and just had to add the nuvo Crystal Drops to leave them to dry… Continue reading Crafty kittens!
