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 love Gorguss by Santoro because it reminds me of my youngest niece, so this year I made her a card using the 'The Runaway' stamp set by docrafts. The main image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Classic Crest card. I coloured it with my Specturm Noir pens. The horse's body:… Continue reading Niece’s birthday card
A friend of mine has asked me to make a 21st birthday card for his niece! I won't lie - when it's a significant birthday card, it feels more stressful to make sure you get it right!! I decided that I was going to go for bling, with a bit of black for sophistication... I… Continue reading 21st Birthday Card
Today is my best friend's 30th birthday! I'll be meeting with her later today in a pub near her house with other friends of hers where I can give her her card & presents. I wanted to make her a card in a box, which I had never done before, so I started early (in… Continue reading Best Friend’s 30th

She has lived abroad in some very exotic places & I made her an exploding box card with orchids for her 60th birthday. This birthday card wasn't going to be any less exotic, so when I… Continue reading Plumeria birthday card

I'm sure you will agree the material is gorgeous, teal is my favourite colour.… Continue reading Thinking of you
Today is my eldest Niece's birthday, but because I've been ill for the last few days I didn't get her card completed until today! I used a white 6x6 tent-fold card for the base. I cut the green square from some patterned paper I got as a freebee with Cardmaking and Papercraft and attached it… Continue reading 10th Birthday Card
Today is a fellow PhD student's 30th birthday!!!!!!! She is having a party tomorrow, but here is the card I've made for her... I used a grey 6x6 card for the card base. I've had the Dovecraft 'Tea Party' paper packs and die-cut glitter decoupage pad for ages - what better excuse for cupcakes than… Continue reading 30th Birthday Card
Tomorrow is one of my Fairy Godmother's birthdays! (I was never Baptised, but my Mother chose two Godmothers, so they are affectionately referred to as my 'Fairy' Godmothers!) This Fairy Godmother lives in a lovely appartment with her two cats and she loves flowers and has an allotment. I wanted to create a card for… Continue reading Flowers Birthday Card
... but once you have said it, you feel so much better! My good friends C & L were married on 6th July, but I only got their invite in June and unfortunately it was just before my Step Brother's body was found so my mind was elsewhere. His funeral was on 2nd July so… Continue reading Sorry seems to be the hardest word…
