So many of my friends had babies last year, and the first of them to be born will turn 1 next week. Time flies!!! I have this 12x12 cardstock pad called 'Hopscotch' by K&Company which has lots of bold colours and patterns on it, and I thought this page would be perfect for a little… Continue reading First Birthday Card

2014 Christmas Thank you
Wow! Time has galloped past me! I've made several similar Thank you cards in different colour schemes so I can thank all the lovely people who gaive me presents for Christmas. I cut a square of coloured pearlescent card to 9cm x 9 cm, then put a strip of double-sided tape down the centre of… Continue reading 2014 Christmas Thank you
Best Friend’s 30th
Today is my best friend's 30th birthday! I'll be meeting with her later today in a pub near her house with other friends of hers where I can give her her card & presents. I wanted to make her a card in a box, which I had never done before, so I started early (in… Continue reading Best Friend’s 30th
Baby’s 1st Christmas
A friend of mine that I went to school with had a baby this year - it makes me feel very old to know that other people my age are breeding! So this Christmas will be his son's first Christmas, I made him a 'first Halloween' card, so I'm making him a 'first Christmas' card… Continue reading Baby’s 1st Christmas
Granny’s Christmas Card
I'm sure I've mentioned it hundreds of times, but my Grandmother is 94 and lives alone, so I like to make her a card for Christmas because she doesn't get very many. Unfortunately her sight and hearing are both very bad, which adds to her isolation - she has a carer who comes in daily… Continue reading Granny’s Christmas Card

I apologise WHOLEHEARTEDLY to… Continue reading Christmas Card Swap Card #5

Feliz Navidad
I went shopping for Christmas dies at the weekend in my local craft shop - The Art of Craft. I was moaning about how difficult it is to find Spanish sentiments & how I have to assemble them from scratch (I do have the Stampendous 'Spanish Messages' clear stamps, but Feliz Navidad isn't in it!)… Continue reading Feliz Navidad

I used lots of Memory Box dies for… Continue reading Christmas Card Swap Card #2
Christmas Card Swap Card #1
I've started on my 5 cards for the card swap! I really wanted to use the Lili of the Valley 'Fur Cones' because I just think it's such a cute image & whilst it's not an all-out Christmas image, I love it! Now I must admit I'm not a 'fussy card' maker ie. I don't… Continue reading Christmas Card Swap Card #1
