Next week it will be Chinese New Year, the year of the monkey. Outside China the next largest celebration of Chinese New Year is in London - so if you ever get the chance go to China town in London to enjoy the festivities. I've made a Chinese New Year card for my step mother… Continue reading Happy Chinese New Year

Lose yourself to dance
Now that she is at Grammar School, my eldest niece has become a complete 'tweenager' and her younger sisters are 'so childish' and she is desperate to be seen as a big girl, so I had to make her a birthday card that wasn't 'girly', but more refined/edgy/grown up. All three of my Nieces love… Continue reading Lose yourself to dance
Moo-chas grass-ias!
I've made my Christmas thank-you cards, at last, so I'm going to share them with you. I'm always trying to look for novel thank you card ideas. I learned Spanish for a year at school, but because I was struggling in other subjects I was forced to give it up. So my Spanish has never… Continue reading Moo-chas grass-ias!
Best Friend’s birthday card
Hi all! I just wanted to share the CAS birthday card I made for my best friend. Having a December birthday sucks - everyone always gives her birthday/Christmas combined presents, so I wanted to make her a lovely birthday card to go with her birthday presents to make sure she feels special. I die cut… Continue reading Best Friend’s birthday card
Step-Mother’s birthday card
Today is my Step-Mother's birthday, I posted her card last week so I hope she gets it today (she lives in Thailand, so I always worry that it will get lost in the post or take ages to get there). She loves card making too and she loves to recieve handmade cards so I wanted… Continue reading Step-Mother’s birthday card
Step-Sister’s birthday card
Today is my eldest step-sister's birthday, I'll be going to see her later today, but before I go I'll post her card and present here. I must admit I bought her present in May and started work on this project back in August, but with very little urgency. So it was only right at the… Continue reading Step-Sister’s birthday card
Hey Ghoul-friend!
I saw this greeting in a stamp set somewhere, I couldn't justify getting the stamp set, but I have alphabet stamps, so I wanted to make it with my alphabet stamps. My last blog post hinted that I was stressed and rather unhappy and as a crafter I know that colouring is a really good… Continue reading Hey Ghoul-friend!
Steampunk Birthday card
I love Steampunk, so when I saw the Kanban 'Time Machine' and 'Cameo Clock' toppers I grabbed them up! But then I just kept them and got them out to look at them rather than use them. Until now... My friend is an acomplished seamstress and loves gaming so she makes her own costumes for… Continue reading Steampunk Birthday card
Mum’s Birthday Card and present
Friday will be my mother's birthday and she isn't very 'computer savvy' so I feel safe posting this before her birthday. I stamped the IndigoBlu 'Sunflower' stamp on Neenah card with VersaFine 'Vintage Sepia' ink. I coloured it in with Spectrum Noir GB1, GB3, Ct1, CT4, TN8, EB4, EB6, JG1 and JG5. Using my Perfect… Continue reading Mum’s Birthday Card and present
Super 30th Birthday card
A friend of mine loves to play computer games and when we were younger he would make little movies with friends where he played the hero against another of our friends as the 'evil bad guy'. So because of the movies he made I've decided to make him a Superhero-themed card. I have lots of… Continue reading Super 30th Birthday card
