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.

Kraft and White

Today's share is a simple Kraft card and white embossed creation, using Julie Hickey Designs Daisy Blooms stamp set. The background card is using the small stamps from the set, and I used a gel pen to draw the corner lines. I painted the daisies with Frozen Pearl Pixie Sparkle Highlights, mixed with water. Click on the picture to see the video demonstration. 

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,

Anniversary Bubbles

 A recent card for my brother- and sister-in-law's Anniversary.


These are from a distant past Kanban collection called Love and Marriage. The die cut topper matches beautifully with the Kraft effect paper from the co-ordinating paper pad.  

The purple paper is from a 1212 pad from Crafter's Companion called "Spring is in the Air", and I added a little silver glitter card from a Crafter's Companion Luxury Card pack.

Don't forget to join us at Use Your Craft Stash on Facebook - where we try to encourage each other to do just that - use that stash!! 

Happy Crafting,
