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.

Scrapper's Delights challenge 18 - Luck of the Irish/St Patrick's Day

Challenge 18 at Scrapper's Delights is Luck of the Irish/St Patrick's Day
http://scrappers-delights-challenge-blog.blogspot.co.uk/


I have layered Scrapper's Delights precoloured digital image Leprechaun 4 and sentiment from Scrapper's Delights St Patrick's word art set onto papers from Imagine That's Luck of the Irish papers.   Layered all onto green card.

Having problems with my eyes so I used precoloured image.  Went to the Eye Specialist again today and the drops that he gave me last week for the infection in my right eye had a bad reaction and made the pressure go up sky high to 31.  Normal is 12.    My eyes are usually a bit above as I have glucoma but they were only 16 last week.
