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.

Imagine That July Digi of the month challenge

 Imagine That July Digi of the month challenge
https://imaginethatdigistamp.blogspot.com/2021/07/july-dotm-challenge-we-3-mice.html

Each month Imagine That gives a free digi set to join the digi of the month challenge and if you make a project and join the challenge you will receive the free digi again next month.

If you didn't join in last month you can buy this month's digi set at a special price until the end of the month We Three Mice


I still can't see very well so I have used the coloured digi stamp.  I printed the digi tamp and sentiment onto white card and painted the background with Twinkling H2O watercolour paints. 
Stamped stars
