Having Family in the armed forces makes this Charity very special to me and would love to raise some money for them, so over the next few months I will be selling cards to do this.

Here are few of the cards I made for father's day. Everyone was very pleased with their purchases. I used a Penny Black stamp for the golfer and then A Art Impressions stamp for the boat scene, I love this stamp it looks so effective.

Penny Black Saturday Challange Entry

I'm on a roll today with the sun shining the kids are happy as they can play in the garden and Sophie is sound asleep again so I have made the most of the quiet and had a go at a card for the Penny Black Saturday Challange, I've been meaning to have a go for ages so here goes.

I decided to use an old Penny Black Stamp ( I have been collecting some of the older ones as a hobby, a bit sad maybe but never mind). It's a Rose Arbour which I have coloured using blending & distress inks and then used Prima's and buttons as centres and corner decoration. Finished with a beautiful best wishes sentiment.

I'm getting addicted to this Challange thing. If you fancy having a go at the challange follow this link and try it.

Fantastic Weather for Crafting

Having spent the other weekend at several race meetings I got inspired to make make for some car related cards. One in particular is for my Dad as he is working on an old car he is doing up.

Just started booking summer fairs so loads of new stuff coming soon, so I will pop some pictures really soon.

What a 6 weeks we have had

Firstly my new arrival arrived early. Sophie arrived on the 1st March 3 weeks early and so put a stop to my crafting for a while, but some how, I balance her on one knee and craft away, here is a picture of some fab jungle cards I have been making using the Woodware Jungle stamp set.

Welcome to my Blog

I am new to blogging but thought that it would be a good way for the people who buy my cards and crafts to see what new project I am working on and other useful information.

Above is a taster of some toppers I have made for an oriental card, they are samurai's, I love making toppers for cards as they are unique.

Watch this space for more....
