50th Birthday

 Hi

Today is my wonderful Husband’s 50th Birthday, so I wanted to share the card I made for him.

I used a Chloe’s Creative Cards background stamp, and The Stamp Market’s ‘Happy Birthday’ die. The stamped sentiments are also from The Stamp Market. The 50 die cuts are from a Memory Box alphabet set, and the stars from my stash.

Happy Birthday Hubby ❤️


Thanks for stopping by.

Starting Something New - Art Journal

 Hi

I’ve been thinking about starting an art journal for quite a while now, but have been putting it off as I wasn’t sure where to start! So when Sandra of Cotswold Crafter blog asked us if we’d like to start a journal, I knew it was time to bite the bullet and give it a go and enjoy experimenting.

I found an MDF album I bought at a craft show a few years ago, and decided to use this so that I can add my own pages of different card stock.

I started by decorating the cover, and although it took me a few days to decide what to do, and the uncertainty of the colour combo I’d chosen, once I put it all together I was really pleased with how it turned out. I particularly like the sentiment, which seems very apt for the project.

I hope you will stick with me and follow me on my art journal journey.




Thank you for stopping by.

Christmas Shaker Card

 Hi

I wanted this card to have its day on the blog as I was so pleased with how it turned out. I haven’t made a shaker card for a long time, but wanted something special for my Mum and Dad’s card.

The slimline aperture dies from Heffy Doodle are perfect for the shaker part of the card. I had the snowflake acetate in my stash and with the die cut snowflakes and ice blue sequins, I think it looks very classy.


I hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by.

First Christmas card for 2022

 Hi

I’m back today to share my first Christmas card for the year - it’s never to early to start! 😉

I was inspired to make it from a beautiful card by Debby Hughes of Lime Doodle Design. She has some gorgeous creations on her blog, so be sure to pop over and take a look.

I’ve used Milled Lavender distress oxide spray for the background with some glitter texture paste through an AALL and Create stencil. The snowflakes from Memory Box are cut in mirror card from Chloe’s Creative Crafts. I heat embossed the sentiment on a piece of vellum. The sequins and enamel dots finish it off perfectly. 

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Thanks for stopping by.
