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.

Digistamps4Joy closing down 31 January - 50% off all images sale

Sad news today - Digistamps4Joy is closing down on 31 January

http://www.digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/

I hope you will go over to the blog and join in the last challenge and say goodbye - anything goes with the optional twist seasons
https://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com/2019/01/challenge-156-anything-goes-optional.html



I am really sad.  I have enjoyed being on the design team since 2014 and I thank Margy and Jen for all their lovely digi stamps

You can read Margy's reason for closing on the shop and on the blog.

Unfortunately people still don't understand that sharing images or downloading from Pinterest etc is wrong and is causing so many digi artists to close.
