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.

Christmas Card Club 8 - Humourous

I am posting this a day early.
It was Valery's turn to pick the the theme for the Christmas Card Club this fortnight and she has chosen humourous.
I hope my card is funny enough


I have used one paper from Lozzy's Christmas paper set and 2 papers from Bugaboo Purple Blue Winter Flowers paper set.Bugaboo digi stamp BugMCC005 Meowy Christmas cats (Bugaboo is in the process of changing to a new shop site so I don't think this stamp is there yet.  There are other cat stamps)

If you would like to see the cards made by the other members of the Christmas Card club, have a look tomorrow night.  Their blogs are listed down the left side of my blog.

I have used the sketch from the Stella Says Sketch challenge 507 so I would like to add this card to that challenge

I rotated the sketch

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