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.

Cheerful Sketches 141

 I was invited to be a guest designer at Cheerful Sketches this month
https://cheerfulsketcheschallenge.blogspot.com/2025/02/februari-2025-no-141.html

and was given a lovely coloured digi from The Paper Shelter
I already had this digi set as I am on The Paper Shelter design team so I was able to include some of the background.

I used The Paper Shelter precoloured digi A Beautiful Day
The Paper Shelter papers from Spring Swing paper set and We are 3 sentiments
plus extra butterflies

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.
