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.

Happy Birthday!!

Good morning. It's very wet here today!! Supposed to clear up later - but certainly feels like Autumn is kicking in!! Just a quick post today - a card made for my niece Amy who turned 21 last week!
I started with an 8x8 white card blank - and decided that this beautiful image from Crafter's Companion's Camden Town CD would be just the thing!! The large image is from the decoupage section, while the two smaller ones are the Create Companion. The tag is the Tag companion - much reduced in size!!

The matching papers are also from the CD. As always, I used Die'sire I" Alphabet and Number dies for the name and age!! A little glitter glue on the roses added some sparkle. And I finished off with ribbon, buttons and pearls from my stash!!

Back soon

  1. A really lovely card. The colour combination is very pretty and the way you have used the same image in different sizes is very clever. Sally D.x.
