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.

Not a football in sight!!

After my last post about football card, I thought I should do something different for my stepson's birthday - even though he's partial to a bit of football.


It's not the best of photos as I was in a bit of a hurry when I took it, but I wanted to show that the topper extends off the top of the card. The topper is from Create and Craft's Birthday Celebrations - a really old "Get the Nation Crafting" set, with silver mirror card, and orange, black and a textured cream card from my stash.  I used some little black pearls to emphasise the corners. It was all mounted onto a plain white 6x6 card blank. 

Take care,
Cxxx
