Look, look! A challenge card to start the week. I had planed to get a lot of challenge cards done over the weekend but of course time just vanished before me eyes. But I did manage to get this one done for the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog which has a fab sketch to follow. I was dreaming of the seaside when…
Another summer card for you today but one perhaps not quite as bright as this week's makes have been :) Details: I've used the beautiful Shy Willow from Whiff of Joy, coloured with copics and promarkers, the flowery background paper is from DCWV and the circles were made with my copics and nesties. The ribbon was also coloured with copics. Little bit…
Can you believe that it is Friday already? It is a quite dreary Friday, too; the sun seems to have gone and it is very overcast here in London. Hey ho, I'm keeping summer going with this card for the Whiff of Joy Blog Hop Call. Katharina is launching some new stamps on the 25th July and she is looking for volunteers…
Strawberries, anybody? Hope you are all having a good weekend and that the weather is better with you than it is here in London. I have some news for you: Claire and Jo over at Making Handmade Cards have launched the New Club for subscribers today and you can find it here. There are a few fabby benefits for early subscribers: -…

Hey everyone, hope that if you are lucky enough to be having a three-day weekend that it is a fun one for you. At the moment my other half is scraping glue and bits of wood off of the bathroom floor, I've had a bit of reprieve to post this card, good excuse I thought :) Bank holiday weekends are for DIY,…
Spoiler alert for my Mum: If you are my Mum then look away now :) (this might be your Mother's day card!) No peeking! I've had a vintage look card rattling around in my head for a while now but couldn't seem to bring it into being. But then I saw the guest designer call and the sketch by Katharina over at…
The Christmas cards are coming along slowly... I've made one or two – is it cheating to use leftovers from last year? I'm loving distressing papers at the moment. I don't have a specialised tool such as the Tim Holtz widgit or the Heidi Swapp Pac-Man (don't you think it looks just like a pink Pac-Man?) but I do sew and my…
Oh bless me. I am, as my friends would say, being special :) I looked at the Papertake Challenge on Monday (yesterday) and saw that it had an autumn theme and went off and made this card using the Tweet Kit from Designs by Krista and my favourite stamp at the moment which is from Whiff of Joy. Only to go back…
I was naughty and bought some Core'dination papers recently. Couldn't wait to try them out so I used them for this week's Friday Sketchers Challenge, which has a fab sketch from Carole. Materials: Stamp - Whiff of Joy, HOTP Colouring - Letraset Promarkers Inks - Versafine black, Versacolor White, blue and purple Card - Blue cardstock; Core'dinations Equipment - printed sentiment; Cuttlebug…
