Here is the matching tag I made to go with the card I made my Step Dad. I used Stampin' UP! Gumball Green cardstock and the Waltzingmouse Stamps 'Folding tag die set'. I used a different yellow ribbon to the one on the front of the card becuse the hole in the tag is very… Continue reading Father’s Day 2014 tag

Father’s Day 2014
Good morning! The weather may not be amazing, but I hope you enjoy the last day of the weekend before another week begins. In case you have been living under a rock, today is Father's Day. My biological father died in 2007, so he's no longer with me, but my parents divorced when I was… Continue reading Father’s Day 2014
Summer starts here – WMF19
I'm not keen on sketch challenges - I find it difficult to start from a sketch, but I wanted to enter the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge, so I decide to give this a go. Below is the sketch for the challenge. I cut a panel of 'Strawberry Slush' and embossed it with my Crafts-Too 'Tropical Flowers'… Continue reading Summer starts here – WMF19
50th Birthday Card
Happy Saturday everyone! Are you enjoying the weekend? Tomorrow I'm going to one of my Mum's former colleague's new house in St. Albans - from what I've seen it looks very nice with an ultra modern interior!

You’re the Cherry Best
I fell in love with the Waltzingmouse 'Big Berries - Strawberries' when I first saw them, so when the Cherries was released I bought it straight away. Unfortunately it seems to have been one of those stamps that I get & have lots of ideas for, but never get around to using! When Stampin' UP!… Continue reading You’re the Cherry Best
Thinking of you
Years ago I saw a beautiful coat at Badminton Horse Trials - I was enchanted, so I ended up parting with quite a lot of money for a coat that I often get out of the wardrobe just to stare at... I'm sure you will agree the material is gorgeous, teal is my favourite colour.… Continue reading Thinking of you
Mum’s Birthday card – 3 months early!!!
My late Step Brother always used to say I was 'very lastminute.com' & he had a point - I would always start a project and suddenly find that it should have been completed yesterday... But my Stampin' UP! demonstrator Nikki Raine inspired me earlier this year by starting (and finishing) her cards for special occasions… Continue reading Mum’s Birthday card – 3 months early!!!
Andy Warhol-style birthday card
I love Andy Warhol's art & I've often wondered if I could make a card in his style. A friend of mine studied Spanish at University, so I like to send her the odd text or birthday card with Spanish greetings. I have a lovely simple cupcake stamp from Stamposaurus called 'Cupcake Strawberry' 1905 (I… Continue reading Andy Warhol-style birthday card
