A scientist's crafty side
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.

I'm still working hard on my long experiment - I can't believe I've been doing it for a month!! My friend Holly only started card making this year, but she's really got into it and wanted to enter some competitons.

My best friend is having an afternoon tea for her birthday celebrations this year (so many friends are scattered about and some have small children so an afternoon thing means she can see as many friends as possible and they can all get wee people home in time for bed and no need for baby… Continue reading Best friend’s birthday card
This is just a very quick post to share with you the AMAZING new dies I got from Leane Creatief 'Holly Leaves Pine Branches' and 'Pine cones 3D' that I've used to make my Christmas tags this year. I die cut the smaller of the two pine cones from brown card and inked through the… Continue reading Christmas tags 2017
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
On Monday it will be my friend's birthday, I finished off his card last night but let the Crystal Drops dry overnight. 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
