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.

Creative Fingers challenge 37 - Thank you

Challenge 37 this week at Creative Fingers is thank you.
http://creativefingerschallengeblog.blogspot.com.au/

and our sponsor this week is Rick St Dennis who has given the design team an image each to use.



I have printed Rick St Dennis dig stamp "Alice in the garden of live flowers" onto white card and coloured with chalks and markers.  Stamped Stampin Up "Thank you".  Added punched flowers and butterflies.  I think I may have added too many flowers.

I hope you will go over to Creative Fingers and see all the lovely cards by the design team and join in the challenge.
