OK, OK - so my card is a day late, but I'm sure it's the taking part that counts!! Here is my card I made for World Card Making Day 2012... I used a square Kraft base card and die-cut the largest of the Spellbinders Nestabilities 'Labels Four' die from the red gingham sheet in… Continue reading World Card Making Day 2012

Paisley card
It's a friend's birthday next week & he is a HUGE fan of Oasis, Beady Eye, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and PRETTY GREEN. He has lots of T-shirts with a bit of paisley pattern on them (paisley features quite heavily in the Pretty Green design theme), so I decided I just HAD to make… Continue reading Paisley card
Unwell
Eugh... Don't you just hate it when you aren't well? I was at a surprise birthday meal yesterday when I suddenly NEEDED to leave the table, it was horrible! Thankfully I had turned up in my own car & hadn't been drinking so when the worst of it had cleared I was able to head… Continue reading Unwell
Stampin’ Up! Open Day
Happy Saturday everyone!!! It's the weekend and the sun is out - that won't happen for too much longer... I went to my very first Stampin' Up!

Mini card – Autumn thinking of you
Hi everyone!! I've been seeing lots of mini cards on other people's blogs - for some cute Halloween ideas see Elizabeth Allan's blog. I was waiting for a friend to pop over for a cup of tea and some cake, so I wanted a quick make that wouldn't involve getting out loads of materials that… Continue reading Mini card – Autumn thinking of you
Paper Anniversary
I attended two weddings last year, and I can't believe how fast the time flies! This is the card I have created for an old school friend's first wedding anniversary. He plays guitar in a female-fronted hard rock band when he isn't being an engineer and she is a craft-aholic in her spare time (just… Continue reading Paper Anniversary
Trees color trends challenge
This is my entry for the 'Trees color trends challenge' on the Embellish magazine blog. I don't know if your parents were always quoting age-old quotes to you, but my parents used to say 'money doesn't grow on trees' whenever I asked for a pony for Christmas... That's where my inspiration came from - I… Continue reading Trees color trends challenge
First Day at School
Awww! My youngest niece is going to infant school for the first time next week!! Last year I made a card for each of her two sisters because they were starting new schools (one had gone up to junior school and her other sister started infant school), she must have felt so left out still… Continue reading First Day at School
Beach bum
Hmmm... another male colleague's birthday (how inconvenient of all these blokes to make me have to think really hard about so many different male birthday cards in such a short space of time) This colleague jokes about how lazy he is - he will wheel his chair around the office rather than walk & often… Continue reading Beach bum
Pinwheel take 2
Ah-ha! Things always work better the second time around (practice makes perfect!) I've decided to do another pinwheel card for a colleague's son's first birthday (Awww, I know - they grow up so fast!) but as this one is for a little boy I used a different colour scheme from my first pinwheel card. I… Continue reading Pinwheel take 2
