A scientist's crafty side
So I'm late to the party, but I got some alcohol inks and Yupo paper and I had a little play! I wanted my card to be on the greener end of the spectrum so I used 'Turqouise', 'Limeade' and gold mixative. I used my flet tool to spread the gold mixative and it all… Continue reading Thank you card using alcohol inks
I won't lie - I was aprehensive about going to Make it! because I have very little money at the moment (vets bills!!) and I feared I would go on a wild spending spree... I went with the right friend though - she got cash out that morning and was only going to buy with… Continue reading Make it! Farnborough 2017
Today is my Step-Mother's birthday, I posted her card last week so I hope she gets it today (she lives in Thailand, so I always worry that it will get lost in the post or take ages to get there). She loves card making too and she loves to recieve handmade cards so I wanted… Continue reading Step-Mother’s birthday card
Today is my eldest step-sister's birthday, I'll be going to see her later today, but before I go I'll post her card and present here.

Today is my cousin in Scotlands birthday, I wanted to show you the card I made for her.

Using my Perfect… Continue reading Mum’s Birthday Card and present
I saw this card on the Heartfelt Creations site and I loved the colour scheme and how sparkly it was! I wanted to re-create it for my Mum's birthday card because she loves purples and greens, and then I realised that it's actually my step sister's birthday before my Mums! (Yes, I am very scatty!)… Continue reading Step sister’s Birthday Card
I'm so pleased that one of my former colleagues has been safely delivered a baby boy! He and his wife have been waiting for a baby for years, so this is such a wonderful moment for them. I love water lillies and I think they are a sign of new life, so I wanted to… Continue reading New Baby card
On Sunday it will be my Granny's 95th birthday, the card is in the post, so I thought I would share it with you. I'm afraid this post is a bit picture heavy due to all the different flowers I made for the card - sorry! I really wanted to try out a cascade card… Continue reading Grandmother’s 95th Birthday card
