A scientist's crafty side
It was my Mum's birthday on Tuesday, but this week has been demanding at work so I'm only able to blog about it now! This card is completely inspired by THESE CARDS that Amy Rsavy created at the beginning of the month, so not my original idea at all. So I don't have the Picket… Continue reading Mum’s birthday card using Prima princess stamp
So I was apparently in such a rush to get to my Mum's house at the weekend that I didn't take a photo of her birthday card, so the only photo I have of it was taken on my phone on her laminate flooring!!! I'm really sorry that the photo quality isn't great! I wanted… Continue reading Mum’s birthday card
I have been working on this card for AGES, so I'm glad it's finally finished! I was going to share it for MFT Camp Create Spectacular Shakers, but with one thing and another I didn't get it in for the deadline and then it went right to the bottom of my priority list! I'll share… Continue reading Neon Shaker card
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.

Where does the time go???!!! I cannot believe my eldest Niece is in here teens!! (she was born when I was at University so that makes me feel REALLY OLD!) As it's her 'coming of age' card, I wanted to make it feminine but not girly and I wanted to make it a bit interactive… Continue reading Niece’s 13th Birthday card
I fully appreciate that this card may not be to everybody's taste, so excuse me if you don't like the pun. I have made this card for a lovely, funny woman who did her PhD where I'm studying and has gone on to pastures new, but is still in touch with lots of us at… Continue reading Punny birthday card
And as per usual I ran out of time to send out my cards, so I had planned to make a massive batch of these cards, stamped hundreds of images and coloured them in, but the die cutting and embossing were a bottleneck and I only managed to assemble 2 of these cards in the… Continue reading Feliz Navidad
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
I have a lot of Welsh friends and wanted to make Christmas cards using the Welsh sentiment dies I have from Tattered Lace. Unfortunately (as per usual) this card was WAY more intensive to create that I had anticipated and I've only been able to create one as opposed to several... I die cut the… Continue reading Nadolig Llawen
