Firstly: Happy World Cardmaking Day!! Tomorrow will be a friend's birthday & I'm going to his birthday drinks this evening. He is a huge fan of Doctor Who, so I had to make a Whovian card! Ages ago I saw this Tardis card pattern on Splitcoast Stampers and wanted to make it for a boys… Continue reading Tardis Card

Moulin Rouge Birthday Card!
Today is a colleague's birthday and he was asked what he wanted to do for his birthday & he (like most men) said "dunno"... For whatever reason he was watching the Moulin Rouge 'Lady Marmalade' cover version & he said "I'd love it if I could have a party where all the girls dressed like… Continue reading Moulin Rouge Birthday Card!
Flowers Birthday Card
Tomorrow is one of my Fairy Godmother's birthdays! (I was never Baptised, but my Mother chose two Godmothers, so they are affectionately referred to as my 'Fairy' Godmothers!) This Fairy Godmother lives in a lovely appartment with her two cats and she loves flowers and has an allotment. I wanted to create a card for… Continue reading Flowers Birthday Card
Sorry seems to be the hardest word…
... but once you have said it, you feel so much better! My good friends C & L were married on 6th July, but I only got their invite in June and unfortunately it was just before my Step Brother's body was found so my mind was elsewhere. His funeral was on 2nd July so… Continue reading Sorry seems to be the hardest word…
Birthday Card for my Step Sister

Because the Wimbledon Championships have been played recently strawberries are very much in season right now, so I thought this lovely stamp that I bought… Continue reading Strawberry Birthday card
Hey there little lady card
After the loss of my step brother I have been restless and found solace in some papercrafting. I wanted to do a papercrafting project that would have nothing to do with him, so no travel or holiday themes and nothing masculine. I have lots of sketches in my ideas book that I scribble in at… Continue reading Hey there little lady card
Father’s Day Card
Because of the recent sad loss of my step brother I wanted to make a very clean and simple Father's Day card for my step father. I used a white 6" x 6" square base card. I had some metallic papers in my stash from when I was at University in Liverpool that I purchased… Continue reading Father’s Day Card
Good Luck!
I have two male friends who are in need of 'good luck' cards this week - one who is defending his MSc project and another who is sitting his first year Medical exams. Because they are both male I decided I wanted to make the same card but with personal touches, such as the colours… Continue reading Good Luck!
