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

Reminder for Digitally Sweet challenge - use pink a little or a lot

You still have a few more days to enter the challenge at Digitally Sweet.  As October is Breast Cancer Awareness month our challenge this month is use pink a little or a lot
http://digitallysweetchallenges.blogspot.com.au/2016/10/dsc-155-with-digistamps4joy.html
Our wonderful sponsor this month is Digistamps4Joy who has some lovely images suitable for this theme.   http://www.digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/
I have used one of her precoloured digi stamps by Jen which was released on the blog last Sunday
http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com.au/2016/10/new-digistamps-sunday-16-october-2016.html

I made this quick simple card today to send to a friend who is very ill.


I have layered Digistamps4Joy precoloured digi stamp Raggedy Lil Angel onto paper from Lozzy's mixed media paper set.  Added ribbon bow from Digital Scrapbooking Studio and typed sentiment.
(You can also buy this stamp in black and white for you to colour.)

Lozzy is in the process of setting up her new blog where you will be able to buy her papers.  But if you would like any of them before then have a look under the Paper Pick tab on the A Bit More Time to Craft challenge blog and send an email to Lozzy at the address there.  She is off line for the next couple days so don't send until after 22 October.

My eldest daughter is a breast cancer survivor (5 years) still on treatment but sadly we have lost some friends over the past couple years.

I hope you will go over to Digitally Sweet and join in the challenge.   You can enter 3 times but all entries must be 100% digital.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:
