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.

Circles Everywhere!!

 Today's share is a card made using some lovely Julie Hickey Designs products. The stamps are Floral Buttons, and I have also used the Dinky Circles die set.


The button stamps themselves are cut by hand and not with dies, as this follows the free-hand way in which they are drawn. The mats and layers are using one of the Dinky Circles.

For the background, I used Scattered Straw, Bundled Sage and Weathered Wood Distress Oxides and Oxide Sprays, along with the the tiny stamps from the set, and a stencil I made using the flower from the Dinky Circles.

Thanks for popping by, and I hope I have given you a little inspiration. Feel free to follow me here on my blog, or on FaceBookTwitterInstagram or Pinterest.

Happy crafting,
