Last Saturday I did a Spellbinders workshop at Fantasia at the Bella Vista store. It is the first time I have done a class there, the workshop area is very nice and set out classroom style. I have a die cutting machine (a Big Shot) and while I use it for embossing and some dies […]
In February I attended a wedding that was held to coincide with Chinese New Year. I decided to go with the theme, and use some of my asian papers. I did a similar design for friends a number of years ago, but haven’t used it since (and that time I used my Luck Dragon stamp […]
My work colleague went on maternity leave, and before she left we went to her baby shower. I did a card for the group present we gave her. I have done a lot of pastel baby cards and I wanted something a bit more vibrant – I also know that S and I share a […]
I’m a little behind with some of my updates. I’ll try to get them up over the next week or so. First up is a birthday card for one of my work colleagues. I liked the background paper and wanted to make it a feature. So I found a stamp that had a similar style […]
I waited until the people I sent them to got these, but they should have been received by now: Steampunk Christmas Trees Several versions, all made up with a big key stamp as the trunk and cogs and gears as the branches. I really liked this design, was very happy with it. A wooden […]

The gift tags used offcuts of decorative paper, and I hand lettered each person’s […]
These are the cards I made for the girls at work. They wanted traditional, and I decided to go with square cards this year. The method was the same for all the cards. I had some lovely vintage style papers that were too nice to use as layering papers. They were larger than the cardstock […]
So chatting with a male colleague on Monday afternoon, I found out he is getting married *this* Friday. As I drove home I mentally cast my mind over colour schemes and images that I had handy, and then spent about half an hour assembling materials before I started. This was an interesting challenge – I […]
This is a card I made for my personal trainer. I wasn’t really sure where to go with colour schemes and designs, mostly she wears black. But I decided to try a more feminine design as I love these paper design. Butterfly filligree chipboard layered on gold paper. Gold paper edged in aged mahogany ink, […]
I have been really busy with work, but also doing a lot of cards. I will put them up over the next few days. This first one was for my manager’s baby shower, Forget-Me-Not Flower Fairy. It is one of a set of Flower Fairy images I have, but the first time I have used […]
