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 47 glitters/shimmers

Challenge 47 at Creative Fingers this week is glitters/shimmers
http://creativefingerschallengeblog.blogspot.com.au/
and our sponsor this week is Delicious Doodles who kindly gave us some lovely digi stamps to use
http://deliciousdoodles.blogspot.com.au/


I printed Delicious Doodles digi stamp Angelique with snowflake onto white card and coloured her with markers and glitter pens.  Unfortuately the glitter on the snowflake, her wings, her bracelets and ear ring doesn't show up in the scan.  Layered her onto paper from Daydream Designs Elegant Snowflakes paper set.  Added sentiment from Daydream Designs Christmas Blessings sentiment set.  Added rhinestones and layered all onto green and then white card.

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

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN A GROUP OF LOVELY FRIENDLY LADIES ON THE DESIGN TEAM JUST PUT DT AFTER YOUR NAME ON YOUR ENTRY.    We work in two teams so even though the challenge is weekly you only have to make a card each fortnight.

I would like to enter this card into the challenges at

Unstampabelles challenge - Be Funny and the twist is to frame it

The challenge at Unstampabelles for September is Be funny and the twist is to frame it.
http://unstampabelleschallenges.blogspot.com.au/


I found this photo of my first grand daughter's partner with her sister Brianna (my fourth and youngest grand daughter) and two of Brianna's friends.  The photo was taken at my second grand daughter's 18th birthday.

I have layered the photo onto paper from Pininkie Abstract Shards paper set and typed heading and journalling.  Added sticker frame, sticker girl and sticker smiley face.  Added all onto blue card and then white card.

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

Remember DO NOT USE STAMPS
