Years ago I saw a beautiful coat at Badminton Horse Trials - I was enchanted, so I ended up parting with quite a lot of money for a coat that I often get out of the wardrobe just to stare at... I'm sure you will agree the material is gorgeous, teal is my favourite colour.… Continue reading Thinking of you

Vintage Garden Flowers Thank you
Oh my Goodness!! I've never left thank you cards this late before! Hopefully people will understand that I've had a lot on over the last few weeks! I love, love, love the Vintage Garden stamp sets from Waltzingmouse stampsĀ (I'm hoping Claire will make some WMS cutting edge dies for the vintage seed packet and… Continue reading Vintage Garden Flowers Thank you
Get better soon
My Grandmother has fallen over & fractured her femur. It was pinned back together and now she is undergoing physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Because of her advanced age, she has very few friends, so she won't get many cards, so every little helps & I know she will enjoy getting a card. I started out with… Continue reading Get better soon
Sailing boat birthday card
On Tuesday it will be my Fairy Godmother's husband's birthday (which sort of makes him my Fairy Godfather...). They used to live on their yacht together sailing around the world, so I know he loves boats. I saw the 'Happy Birthday old salt' sentiment in the Waltzingmouse 'Ocean Bound' stamp set & it was made… Continue reading Sailing boat birthday card
Scrabble Card
This week is a Danish friend's birthday (no prizes for guessing her name as I've put it on the front of the card!) I started with a dark green 6x6 card base. I used some cream card and stamped it with 'Spell it Out' by Whimsy Stamps in Jet Black Archival Ink and Stampin' UP… Continue reading Scrabble Card
Change of address card
Well now that I've moved home & unpacked a few things (I'm still living in Cardboard City at the moment!!!) I'm sending out cards to my friends to let them know my new address. I used cream gate fold cards for the base. Using the Memory Box Grand Madison Window die to cut windows out… Continue reading Change of address card
New home thank you
Awww! One of my Mum's good friends gave me a very generous 'Welcome to your new home' present - it was SO generous of her, I just had to say a HUGE thank you, so I created this (rather late) last night to send to her to let her know my appreciation. I used the… Continue reading New home thank you
Bunting Birthday Card #2
I must admit to being in a bit of a rush today because I have to get to a friend of the family's 65th birthday party in Kent. And because I'm in a bit of a rush I decided to go for a tried and tested card idea. Having already created a Bunting Birthday card… Continue reading Bunting Birthday Card #2
Bunting Birthday Card #1
A colleague of mine is celebrating her 30th birthday this week, so I wanted to make her a special birthday card. I've been toying with the idea of a bunting birthday card for a few months and had ideas about what stamps and die cuts to use & now I finally had a good reason… Continue reading Bunting Birthday Card #1
Moulin Rouge Birthday Card!
Today is a colleague's birthday and he was asked what he wanted to do for his birthday & he (like most men) said "dunno"... For whatever reason he was watching the Moulin Rouge 'Lady Marmalade' cover version & he said "I'd love it if I could have a party where all the girls dressed like… Continue reading Moulin Rouge Birthday Card!
