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.

Our extra sponsor this month is Limited Runs stamps who has given us some lovely digi stamps to use
http://limitedrunsstamps.blogspot.com/

I have made two cards  I am so fuzzy headed I forgot to use Lisa's papers on the first card so made a second card using one of her papers



I have used Limited Runs precoloured digi stamp Kitty in Stocking (you can also buy this as a black and white digi stamp for you to colour).

Card 1 - I embossed white card with Crafts-Too Christmas Trees frame embossing folder.
Coloured it with markers and glitter pens.  Printed Kitty in Stocking, cut out and layered on top.  Added twine and layered all onto red card.

Card 2 - I layered Kitty in Stocking onto paper from Lisa's Gifts galore paper set.  Added ribbon.
Sentiment from We are 3 Christmas sentiment set

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.
Everyone who links up a minimum of two cards will receive a special paper from Lisa.
If you follow the theme add FT after your name and you will go in the draw to win the prize from Limited Runs.
