Firstly, congratulations to Harry and Meghan on their wedding day! Secondly, as this weekend is all about the royal wedding, I thought I would share some handmade wedding stationary and decorations if you are a do-it-yourself kind of person. Something Old Let's be honest, the vast majority of us who have to produce something ourselves… Continue reading Wedding stationary and decorations
It was my birthday last week, to be honest it was a bit overshadowed by passing my viva - it still doesn't feel real and I'm wandering about in a bit of a daze! However, with birthdays come lots of lovely gifts and thank you cards (because everyone likes snail mail that isn't a bill,… Continue reading Birthday thank you cards with SSS flora stamp
Disclaimer: I made this card in November 2017, but this is the first chance I've had to blog about it. I made this card for a friend who was writing her Thesis at the same time as me - our friendship has been forged in the fire of PhD hell, so we've seen each other… Continue reading Hey Foxy 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
A former colleague of mine has been hoping to move to Canada for several years and has been attempting to get all the paperwork together for his move, but now he has everything in place he's handed in his notice at his job and he's heading off to Canada! A few people are meeting at… Continue reading Moving to Canada card
Today is my oldest Step Sister's boyfriend's birthday. He loves history, so I know that 'vintage' stuff would suit him. I ran some black card through the Crafts-Too 'Geared' embossing folder. I stamped the image from the IndigoBlu 'Little Voice' stamp set onto Whisper White card stock and inked over it with Vintage Photo Distress… Continue reading Masculine birthday card
Two posts in one day - I'm on a roll!!! I'll be out in the sunshine later though - I can't resist!!!
