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.

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.

The challenge was Aniseed rings and black and white.   
My glitter was white but it looks coloured in the scan.  I used Queen Kat Designs stamp "Twilight Fairies" and Stamp World "Best Wishes".  Cuttlebug "Spots and dots" embossing folder.  The clear glitter on the fairy wings doesn't show on the scan.
