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.

Bonnie of We are 3 is sponsoring the June progressive freebie challenge.
https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/Weare3

Because I am on Bonnie's design team I received the black and white image early.
Bonnie was colouring the image for me but I went ahead and coloured it before I saw the image she coloured.
I printed the black and white color me garden, floral delight large and coloured with chalk, markers and glitter gel pens. I then scanned it and reduced it down to fit on the card.
 Layered onto We are 3 paper from Garden Dance paper collection
Added We are 3 sentiment from Early Bird sentiment set
