About Me

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.

 Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge 618 - anything Christmas with optional theme Make Your Own Background
http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.com/


I coloured background with watercolour pencils and water - used Lavinia Acetate Hill masks to draw hills.  Painted stars through Fairy Hugs stencil Galazy.
