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.

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

Christmas Card Club - Christmas night sky

 The theme for the Christmas Card Club this fortnight is Christmas night sky

I made a very simple card as my eyes were really sore the day I made it,  Unfortunately they are sore all the time but I am trying to keep going.

I layered TLC Creations Night before Christmas silhouette onto TLC Creations paper Starry Christmas night.

If you would like to see the cards by the other members of the Christmas Club there  blogs are listed down the side of my blog.

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

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge 482 - Inspired by a song or carol

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge 482 - Inspired by a song or carol
http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.com/

I was looking for some vellum paper for another card in a box and found some images and cards  I had printed out ages ago but never coloured and I found this card which was perfect for this challenge.  I hadn't used it because it was crooked, so I cut off the card front to use.



Unfortunately it was so long ago I can't remember where the paper came from.  If anyone knows please tell me in the comments.
The Merry Christmas song sentiment is from Create with TLC.
I coloured the Art by Miran digi stamp Pop Stars Suzie 119 with markers and Gel pen
Layered all onto white card.

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

Outlawz Sunday Songs & Rhymes - Rockin' Around the Christmas tree

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes 1 December - 28 December


Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling (pumpkin pie anyone?)
You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear, voices singing
Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday (this is so corny)
Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way




I have used paper from We are 3 Tones of Grey paper set
Sentiment from We are 3 Christmas sentiment set
Create with TLC silhouette digi stamp from Christmas club 2013 collection

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