Granmargarets cards-n-stuff

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.

Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.

I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. You can buy the black and white version of Granmargaret Fairy at

I have used papers from Snap Click Supply Company O Holy Night Full collection and Rejoice scrapbook kit.
Elements from Rejoice scrapbook kit

Bonnie at We are 3 kindly gave me a gift voucher for Snap Click supplies and as everything is on special there now I was able to get both kits.

I hope that you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.

I followed one of the sketches from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 so I would like to add my card to that challenge. The challenge was to pick your favourite sketch from 2018. I picked one to fit my images. There are lots of great sketches to pick from.
