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.

Noah's Ark 2 by 2

Our family has been expanding in the past few years, and it means I am now getting to make some cards for the little ones. This one is for my great nephew who was two this  past week.

The topper is a Hunkydory Pick and Mix called Animals on the Ark - the whole two by two thing seemed appropriate for a 2nd birthday!! I teamed this with gold mirror card, orange Core'dinations card, Kanban Parcel Paper background card and some really old yellow Papermania stars paper.

The number is cut using Diamond Press Block Numbers, and the letters with Die'sire Kinetic alphabet.

I have to admit that this started out as a 6x6 card. But I stuck everything on the wrong way, so had to put it onto a 7x7 instead, and add the pearls. You wouldn't have known if I hadn't told you!!

Take care,
Cxxx
