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.

2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

My Time to Craft Christmas 113 - Smooshing

My Time to Craft Christmas 113 - smooshing
https://mytimetocraftchristmas.blogspot.com/

I used to sometimes use smooshing with inks or paints when I was making handmade cards, but unfortunately I can no longer make handmade cards due to my sore hands and bad eyes so I have used a digital paper that looks a bit like it.

I have used WondersArtist paper from Colorful Snowflakes paper set 
WondersArtist coloured clip art from Snowflakes and Ice Crystals and Christmas Landscapes part 2 
Mini clip art sets.  Added ribbon and We are 3 sentiment

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

Margaret, you background "smooshed" paper is so pretty! I also like your idea of putting different village scenes in your round elements to carry on with the snow theme!! Thank you for sharing your card with us at TSOT!! -Donna
