My Grandmother has fallen over & fractured her femur. It was pinned back together and now she is undergoing physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Because of her advanced age, she has very few friends, so she won't get many cards, so every little helps & I know she will enjoy getting a card. I started out with… Continue reading Get better soon

Folk art thank you card
I got an amazing late Christmas present (it was FAR too heavy to put in the post, which is why it had to wait until we met!) so I wanted to create a thank you card. I started off with a black A6 base card and a piece of black card. I stamped the Waltzingmouse… Continue reading Folk art thank you card
Sailing boat birthday card
On Tuesday it will be my Fairy Godmother's husband's birthday (which sort of makes him my Fairy Godfather...). They used to live on their yacht together sailing around the world, so I know he loves boats. I saw the 'Happy Birthday old salt' sentiment in the Waltzingmouse 'Ocean Bound' stamp set & it was made… Continue reading Sailing boat birthday card

10th Birthday Card
Today is my eldest Niece's birthday, but because I've been ill for the last few days I didn't get her card completed until today! I used a white 6x6 tent-fold card for the base. I cut the green square from some patterned paper I got as a freebee with Cardmaking and Papercraft and attached it… Continue reading 10th Birthday Card
Thank you
Eurgh! I've been very ill this weekend - I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me because I've been sick since Thursday & I'm only just beginning to feel better! My Mum always works incredibly hard over Christmas feeding and entertaining the whole family, and we always SAY thank you, but sometimes it… Continue reading Thank you
30th Birthday Card
Today is a fellow PhD student's 30th birthday!!!!!!! She is having a party tomorrow, but here is the card I've made for her... I used a grey 6x6 card for the card base. I've had the Dovecraft 'Tea Party' paper packs and die-cut glitter decoupage pad for ages - what better excuse for cupcakes than… Continue reading 30th Birthday Card
Christmas card for Granny
I have only made one Christmas card this year - due to moving home to my flat I haven't had the organisation to make cards & do everything else. But because my Granny is so old now, she has very few friends left so her bungalow is not doecorated for Christmas & she has one… Continue reading Christmas card for Granny
Change of address card
Well now that I've moved home & unpacked a few things (I'm still living in Cardboard City at the moment!!!) I'm sending out cards to my friends to let them know my new address. I used cream gate fold cards for the base. Using the Memory Box Grand Madison Window die to cut windows out… Continue reading Change of address card
