Over the Easter weekend I held a card stall at a gaming convention, an alternative to running a game as I had been unwell and didn’t have time to write it. I didn’t do my usual range of cards, instead focusing on a range that reflected the themes of the games – fantasy, horror, historical, […]
Despite good intentions, I once again got behind with posts. This was due to a number of reasons, including: making cards for the crazy Christmas period making different cards for the New Year period going into hospital for major surgery on 23 December while I was recovering from surgery, my brother visited from the UK, […]
My former director left my workplace recently, and this is the card I made for her from those in my team who used to be in her area. Cream cardstock folded to a square card, edged in blue ink. Strip of blue, white and gold chiyogami paper mounted on blue metallic paper, and then placed […]
Recently two of my friends had a joint birthday party, fancy dress theme. (ok the theme was Game of thrones but I wasn’t feeling it). I had these gorgeous papers by KaiserCraft from their ‘Through the Looking-Glass’ paper set. They are very floral and vibrant, but there are also the classic illustrations by Tenniel throughout […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
