Today is my Granny's 96th birthday, so I wanted to share the card I made for her with you this evening. I've been loving all the white with a splash of colour cards I've seen on Pinterest, so this is my take on the look. I started out with the Creative Expressions 'Striplet - Floral… Continue reading Granny’s Birthday card
I'm going to my friends birthday party today, so I'll share the card I made for him now before I leave. As the Wimbledon tennis Championships is on at the moment I wanted to make a Wimbledon-themed card. I found this Tennis Racket die by Leane Creatief, which is just perfect for this card! I… Continue reading You’re Ace birthday card
Hmmm... The kittens are adorable, but they are annoying too!! I had made a 50th birthday card using loads of die cut letters and managed to keep them out of the paws (and mouths!) of the kittens, stuck the card together and just had to add the nuvo Crystal Drops to leave them to dry… Continue reading Crafty kittens!

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
Now that she is at Grammar School, my eldest niece has become a complete 'tweenager' and her younger sisters are 'so childish' and she is desperate to be seen as a big girl, so I had to make her a birthday card that wasn't 'girly', but more refined/edgy/grown up. All three of my Nieces love… Continue reading Lose yourself to dance
I've made my Christmas thank-you cards, at last, so I'm going to share them with you. I'm always trying to look for novel thank you card ideas.
