About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

A quick Cupcake post!!

Been a while since I've had time to blog - so thought I would take advantage of a quiet moment with a quick post to share another leaving card.
This is another 8x8 card - made with the Hunkydory 'A Touch of Style' set. This one is called 'Birthday Treat' - I love these cupcakes!

I used some silvery grey Bazzill, with some Create & Crafty pink and peach texture effect card. I cut some plain and scalloped circles with my Spellbinders Nesties - and the letters with my XCut Roma alphabet die set.
The scalloped edge was cut with an old border die - think it is XCut - but not 100% sure - and I used two colours of ribbon to echo the peach and pink - with some little pink gems to embellish.

Last working day of the school year for me tomorrow!! And then it's a case of getting my head down to complete quite a few projects before end of the month. Hopefully will surface now and then to post.

Take care,

Cxxx
