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.

Birthday wishes

I made this card for a friend of mine. It uses an old Create and Craft Topper and patterned card. I love the sage green colours of the card, and it makes me feel like (hopefully) Spring and Summer are not too far away. 


The gold card is from Crafter's Companion Precious Metals Luxury Card pack, and I used a few gold coloured flat back pearls with ribbon to finish it all off.

Happy crafting,
Cxxx

Football!

 Yes! Another football card. This one is Hunkydory - and I think it's a Made for Men one, but can't be sure. The grey background card is Manly Moments card block, and the blue dotty card is from my local market.


The little dots are from a really old embellishment sheet bought from The Range. 

Happy crafting,
