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

Halloween Curvy Keepsake box – spider
I won't lie, but I'm a bit of an arachnophobe! As long as a spider stays still, I can deal with it, the second it scuttles anywhere, that's it - I'm shrieking & leaving via the nearest exit! So I have no idea why I came up with this idea, but I thought the Stampin'… Continue reading Halloween Curvy Keepsake box – spider

I don't know how I managed to but I left LOADS out!!!??Never mind, that's all done so now I can do some cardmaking!!!!I've always… Continue reading Birthday Fishes
Thank you
The same friend who asked me to make him a Baptism card also did some cat sitting and watered my Mum's garden whilst I was in Gloucestershire at the BAPSH Championship, so I wanted to make him a quick thank you card. I already had an idea for a card that I had wanted to… Continue reading Thank you
Baptism Card
A friend of mine will be attending a Baptism this month & he asked me to make a Baptism card for him. Well, where to start??? I was never Baptised & I've only attended two when I was about 10 or 12 so I was a bit lost to be honest! I looked on pinterest… Continue reading Baptism Card
