My youngest Niece turns 7 today! How time flies!! I've seen so many cards using watercolour techniques that look amazing & I keep jealously thinking "hmmm, mine would never look that good - it would run everywhere and look aweful", but then I thought to myself - I have watercolour paper, water-based inks, paint brushes,… Continue reading Niece’s 7th Birthday Card

Mother’s Day Card 2015
I've been really inspired by the Clean and Simple look recently and I wanted to give it a go, but I was worried that it would look a bit lost with all the white card! Let me know if you think I got it right! I bought the Creative Expressions 'Finishing Touches - Camellia -… Continue reading Mother’s Day Card 2015
Charlie’s 30th Birthday card
Next week another of my friends will be turning 30, but I'm travelling to a two-day veterinary conference later today so I need to make the card now because I won't have time whilst I'm away.

21st Birthday Card
A friend of mine has asked me to make a 21st birthday card for his niece! I won't lie - when it's a significant birthday card, it feels more stressful to make sure you get it right!! I decided that I was going to go for bling, with a bit of black for sophistication... I… Continue reading 21st Birthday Card

Hmm... Somehow I'm only on card #3 and the postal deadline for the swap is 30th November!! I'm dreadful at getting things done before a deadline!!!

I need to post this quickly before Homeland starts!!!

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!
