My brother’s birthday was in July, and he is a big fan of cats (like all my family). I have a tin of Cavallini & Co vintage cat poster stickers, and I found one that actually has July on it – a Harper’s cover from what I can tell. Because I am trying to use […]

She writes primarily for Harlequin / Mills & Boone, however she has also written a few books on the art and craft of writing. I have the revised 2004 edition of The Art of Writing Romance, and also […]
I realised that although I had mentioned making a wedding card for a colleague, I had not actually put it up here. N was returning to Sri Lanka for a very colourful and vibrant wedding, and I wanted to reflect that in my card design. So here it is – brightly coloured and using one […]
The final farewell was this week, another of our contractors left as we have finally filled the position permanently. Metallic white square card, edged with Aged Mahogany ink. Floral paper trimmed to fit, edged with Antique Linen. Nestabilities Label 17 die used to make floral label and white card label (yay! first time I have […]

Recently Daedalist requested a card for a male family member. I decided to try out some new things I had to play with, and a different colour scheme to my usual ones. I think it is quite striking.
So I am on leave this week, sick leave to be exact. I wasn’t allowed to drive yesterday or today after having an operation, and so today I decided to set myself some crafting challenges for the week. First up, using papers and embellishments (mostly papers) that I have scattered all over my work desk […]
This is for a family member, I posted it off last week so I hope it arrives soon. And because of the embellishments I actually put it in a padded envelope, so no need for a stamp on the card envelope. It was actually very difficult to come up with a concept and colour palette, […]
