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.

You know the drill!!

This one was for my brother-in-law - a carpenter/joiner by trade! Love the colours of the topper. 


I used Hunkydory's Pick & Mix -You're Tool-rific, with some gold mirror card and yellow and brown Core'dinations card. The letters were cut with Crafter's Companion Diamond Block Alpha.

Unfortunately the Core'dinations came away from the mirror card in the post - am hoping it was just because I didn't use enough!

Happy crafting,

The First Post....

 ... of the New Year! Bit late but better late than never. So, have already had family birthdays this month, and here's the first of them.

This one was for my Mother-In-Law, made using Hunkydory Wonderful Women - A House For Flowers, and card from their Floral Delights card block.

A lovely pretty card to start the year!

Happy crafting,
Cxxxx
