A scientist's crafty side
Today is my Grandmother's birthday. She is now in a care home where the staff are lovely and patient with her, they do an amazing job and I wish we gave care staff more credit for the wonderful role they fulfill by taking care of our elderly. I wanted to share the card I made… Continue reading Pineapple birthday card
Hi Everyone! Phew! I'm really suffering in this heat! Apparently tomorrow will be cooler though! Even the cats are flopping down and just lying on the floor all the time, so they must be feeling it too! Today I'd like to share my 'Glitzy Glitter' card for the MFT Camp Create 2017. I used the… Continue reading MFT Camp Create Glitzy Glitter
Hi Everyone, I'm back today with a 'Remarkable Resist' card for MFT Camp create 2017. I used the same wood background stamp as yesterday as I just love it soooo much. This time I clear embossed it on Neenah and used Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink to get a teal/green colour so it looked a bit… Continue reading MFT Camp Create Remarkable Resist
Hi Everyone! Are you participating in Camp Create by MFT this week? I'm going to try, but I'm already late in getting my cards finished - I have shared the 'work in progress' pictures on Instagram though, so I might be able to get some entries in before the deadline of 22nd June @ 10pm… Continue reading MFT Camp Create Wonderful Watercolor

All of my PhD supervisors are very hard working, dedicated people, and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful team of supervisors/advisors around me. However, I think one of my supervisors is just amazing - she has two 'part time' jobs (even though they are supposed to be 50%/50% it's more like 70%/70%!!)… Continue reading Black and gold appreciation card
So I did decide what to do with the lovely SSS embossed watercoloured panel and made it into a 6x6 card with some X cut adhesive glitter sheets and the sentiment from My Favorite Things 'More Essential Sentiments' white heat embossed on a little strip of black card. To add some more texture I added… Continue reading SSS watercolour panel update
I thought I would try to share where my inspiration came from in this post, because I haven't shared a sketch or 'inspiration' picture in a while. I had this pin on Pinterest for its positive message and I thought it was gorgeous, then I got to thinking "Come on, you must be able to… Continue reading Niece’s 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
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
