A scientist's crafty side
Yesterday was Mothering Sunday in the UK and I would like to share the card I made for my Mum. My family have had several dogs, cats and a guinea pig over our lives, but at the moment we have one elderly Birman - they are now my Mum's favourite breed and she doesn't think… Continue reading Mother’s Day card
Today is my Godmother's 70th Birthday. I made her an exploding box as a special birthday card and gave it to her a few days ago, so I'll share it with you now. I started with a 297mm x 297mm piece of 300gsm purple card and used my Crafter's Companion Ultimate Pro to score the… Continue reading 70th birthday exploding box card
Today is my friend's birthday and he is training to be a doctor, he has his finals very soon. I still want to keep going with the positive statements on birthday cards, and I thought I would go with a punny one today - he will be a doctor, so why not have some anatomically… Continue reading Follow your hearts desire
Two of my friends have birthdays today, so I have two cards to share this morning (you can probably tell I was in a bit of a rush to post them on time from the rushed photography!!) For some reason all of my friends feel a bit down at the moment - maybe it's just… Continue reading Reach for the stars

All three of my Nieces love… Continue reading Lose yourself to dance

She loves card making too and she loves to recieve handmade cards so I wanted… Continue reading Step-Mother’s birthday card
Today is my friend's birthday & I've popped his card and present through his door so I can share this with you now. He's always been very image conscious; well groomed and well dressed with shiny shoes. So I felt wishing him a stylish birthday would be a nice twist on the 'happy birthday' sentiment.… Continue reading Stylish 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
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
