OMG!! I just can't believe my middle niece is 10!!! Where does the time go??? I wanted to make a fairy/magical/mythical card for her (because she won't believe in the magic for much longer... [cue 'Age of Not Believing' from Bedknobs and Broomsticks running through my head]) so I got out my Tonic Studios fairy… Continue reading Niece’s 10th Birthday card
I have a lot of Welsh friends and wanted to make Christmas cards using the Welsh sentiment dies I have from Tattered Lace. Unfortunately (as per usual) this card was WAY more intensive to create that I had anticipated and I've only been able to create one as opposed to several... I die cut the… Continue reading Nadolig Llawen
Last month I had a long weekend in Devon with my Fairy Godparents, it was so nice to get away from my PhD deadlines for a few days! My parents looked after the kittens whilst I was away so they were at home, not in a cattery. I wanted to give my Godparents a thank… Continue reading Autumnal Thank you card
My Australian Cousin has dual citizenship and is living and working in the UK, but he does go home to see his family at Christmas. I wanted to make him a Christmas card with the Lawn Fawn 'Critters Down Under' stamps and matching die set. Firstly I die cut the mountain range from the Tattered… Continue reading Cousin’s Christmas card
Squeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is an avid supporter of Chelsea Ladies football club, so when Tattered Lace brought out the Footballers die set with the lady footballer I had to use it for his card. The… Continue reading Football birthday card
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you've had a good weekend? I've had a nice gentle weekend in preparation for my next big experiment that starts on Monday, so I won't be cardmaking as much as I would like over the next two months, so I apologise for less frequent posts! Today is my 'Fairy Godmother's… Continue reading Cats in a box card
Today is my cousin's birthday, so I'd like to share the card I've made for her with you this afternoon. I've been pinning LOADS of cards recently, and was so taken with them all that I lost my mojo. Do you get that some times? I'm so excited by new ideas that I don't sit… Continue reading Cousin’s Birthday card
Have you seen Suicide Squad at the cinema? I went to see it at the weekend with a friend and we enjoyed it but felt that the costumes were very tailored to a male audience. I loved all the promotional artwork though - a mix of Neon and classic comic book style. Today is my… Continue reading Suicide Squad inspired birthday card
My Step Mother lives in Hua Hin in Thailand, and so when I heard about the bombings on Friday I was fearful that she might have been injured or killed. Thankfully she was at home because the bombings were early in the morning so she wasn't out and about at the time. I wanted to… Continue reading Umbrella card
