Christmas Tags




Two Christmas Tags to match a Christmas card for close friends, Sissix dies used for tag and the Wise Men on a  Distressed Ink background, I like the idea of the matching tags and card and hope the recipient does too.


Thank you for popping in, I appreciate and love reading the comments you leave.

Guest Designer at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge





I was lucky enough to win a recent challenge at the Craft Challenge and was invited to Guest Design for them.


The challenge this week is Thank you, I was given an image Flower Power Daisy Graduates by  their sponsor, Digital Delights

After paper piecing and colouring the image I fussy cut it and placed it on a graduation cap shaped card.

Those who follow my blog may remember  that my husband drives the local Primary School bus, this card was for one of the pupils heading off to Senior School , the message inside is a thank you for all the help and support she gave a Primary 1 pupil on the bus, and of course Congratulations on her Graduating to the next step.


Thank you for inviting me along to design with you.

Explosion Card at BBB





Good morning and welcome to today's Challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond   

This will be my last post for BBB for a few months Cazro has kindly allowed me to take a break as I have several appointments and lots of  weekends away between now and October, then a holiday in the U.S.A. for almost all of November.

Thank you to everyone who has been joining in the challenges , this fortnight we would like to see you create an Explosion card, link here .

My card uses 2 toppers from Hunkydory and paper from Creative Crafting World. The fold was easier than I expected.

B at MMM




Welcome to all followers and visitors, many thanks for visiting and continuing to leave comments I really appreciate the time you take to do this.

 Today's Challenge at Make My Monday chosen by Amy who would like to see a project beginning with the letter B. My card uses an image from a Making Cards Free CD. 



 I wanted to do something a bit different and was inspired by this image which reminded me of my younger son, he has a lovely beard which he keeps quite short, but is thick and a gorgeous inky blue/black.

 Pop over to the Challenge Blog for some inspiration and see the fabulous makes there.

Poinsettia




I decided it was time to get a move on with the Christmas cards, this digi from Power Poppy has been coloured with Promarkers  and kept really simple to show off the beautiful poinsettia.

Good morning and welcome to today's Challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond   

Thank you to everyone who has been joining in the challenges , this fortnight we would like to see you use the Nail Polish Art Technique, link to the technique here.

I must admit to being very wary of trying this technique, but it was much easier than I expected, I only used 2 colours but was delighted with the outcome.

My image is from Disney Clips and is free for personal use only.

Christmas Poinsettia



Welcome to all followers and visitors, many thanks for visiting and continuing to leave comments I really appreciate the time you take to do this.






My digi stamp is from Power Poppy and is coloured with Promarkers, the colours look dark here but are much better IRL, the card kept nice and flat for posting.

Masculine at Crafty Calendar




Hi and welcome to my post for the new  Challenge at Crafty Calendar.This month at Crafty Calendar we are sponsored by 



and the theme is make it masculine.


I used an image from a free Making Cards Cd teaming it with a sentiment from TLC. This sentiment has special meaning for the recipient as his "good " ideas always involve me doing something I hate, ie going on roller coasters that loop the loop several times. 

Do drop in to be inspired the DT cards for this month, hope to see you there.
