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,

Mum's Birthday

For my Mum's birthday, I used this topper from a very old collection I think I bought from Create and Craft. 

It's a very pretty topper, with equally gorgeous cardstock. If memory serves me right, the old Kanban were the manufacturers of this.

I added a bit of purple and blue Core'dinations card, along with some silver mirror card, all finished off with a bow and some flat-backed pearls.

Happy crafting,

More Christmas Cards

While I love my Hunkydory, here are some of the other Christmas cards from this year's makes. 

Firstly, this little bunch were using toppers from Hobby House.

   

   

And this lot were with an old Create and Craft set.

  

And all of these were with various Crafter's Companion goodies - some of which I have posted earlier in the year.
  

  

  


Happy crafting - and Happy Christmas.
