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. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

Tuesday Morning Sketches 697

 It is my husband's birthday on Monday so I have used sketch 697 at Tuesday Morning Sketches to make him a birthday card,  He had a very big heart operation and he is hoping to be able to leave hospital on Monday.


I used papers and coloured element from Digital Scrapbooking Studio Road Tripper by Cindy Ritter.
We are 3 sentiment from Happy Birthday sentiment set

I rotated sketch 697

I would also like to add my card to the following:
