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.

A Lovely Day

Today's card was for my lovely sister-in-law's birthday.  I used Hunkydory Peony Dreams - A Lovely Day for both the topper and patterned card. To that, I added some pink Core'dinations card and silver mirror card, cut with Crafter's Companion Stitched Squares and Inverted Stitched Lace Scalloped Squares.  I love this palette of pink and blue!! 


Happy crafting!!

Mothers' Day cards

Good morning! The weather seems to have quietened down, and I seem to have got my crafting mojo back. 

Yesterday was Mother's Day, and these are the two cards I made - one for my Mum and one for my Mother-In-Law.

Both use Hunkdory Peony Dreams collection, which I think came out in 2019. The first one was for my Mum. The topper is from "Blossoming Dreams", and the sentiment from "A Lovely Day". And I used a bit of pink Core'dinations, ribbon and pearls.

The second was for my Mother-In-Law, and this time the topper is from "A Lovely Day" and the sentiment from "Blossoming Dreams".  And, of course, a bit of Core'dinations card, ribbon and pearls.

Take care, and 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,

A Birthday Surprise!

This is the birthday card I made for my stepdaughter. I used one of the toppers from the Hunkydory Pick and Mix sheet - A Birthday Surprise! The patterned card (I think) is from another old Hunkydory Topper set, teamed up with orange and green Core'dinations and gold mirror card.

The letters were cut with Crafter's Companion Decorative Alphabet. 

Happy crafting.
