Lose yourself to dance

Now that she is at Grammar School, my eldest niece has become a complete 'tweenager' and her younger sisters are 'so childish' and she is desperate to be seen as a big girl, so I had to make her a birthday card that wasn't 'girly', but more refined/edgy/grown up. All three of my Nieces love… Continue reading Lose yourself to dance

Autumnal thank-you

I'm so blessed - I've been working really hard recently and I found it was affecting my mood - I went on Facebook and all my friends were sharing how wonderful their lives were and how they just couldn't be happier. I had been working 11/12 and 13 hour days and been unable to fit… Continue reading Autumnal thank-you

Steampunk Birthday card

I love Steampunk, so when I saw the Kanban 'Time Machine' and 'Cameo Clock' toppers I grabbed them up! But then I just kept them and got them out to look at them rather than use them. Until now... My friend is an acomplished seamstress and loves gaming so she makes her own costumes for… Continue reading Steampunk Birthday card

Mum’s Birthday Card and present

Using my Perfect… Continue reading Mum’s Birthday Card and present

Grandmother’s 95th Birthday 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.

Super 30th Birthday card

A friend of mine loves to play computer games and when we were younger he would make little movies with friends where he played the hero against another of our friends as the 'evil bad guy'. So because of the movies he made I've decided to make him a Superhero-themed card. I have lots of… Continue reading Super 30th Birthday card

Father’s Day Card and tags 2015

I'm sure I've said it before, but my Step Dad has a Narrowboat so I regularly make him nautical-themed cards. Today is Father's Day here in the UK, so this is the card and matching tags I made for my Step Dad. I used a white textured A5 card base and attached a Kraft card… Continue reading Father’s Day Card and tags 2015
