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.

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.

My Card for Feeling Sketchy No 22

I made this birthday card today to the Feeling Sketchy No 22 Sketch
http://feeling-sketchy.blogspot.com.au/
This was the sketch
It was for a scrapbook page but we could do a card instead and could change the stars for something else.

I used Martha Stewart punch "Doily Lace Trim", pattern paper from Sweet Fairy collection 6x6 paper stack,
Stampin Up sentiment, Bild Malarna Stamp Little Winged Friends - "Together", butterfly punch and butterfly brads.

I am so slow now.  Took ages just to make one birthday card. Arthritis is worse this week.
Have a good week everyone

Sarah's birthday

My eldest grand daughter (Sarah) turned 18 on Monday.  We had a party for her on Saturday.  Everyone (except Tony and I) dressed up as Vampires and Werewolves.  I looked on google for a vampire picture for her birthday card.  This is the card I made using the picture I found

Her mother (Angela) made the cake

My youngest grand daughter Brianna turned 4 on 12 August.  Angela also made her cake.  Brianna loves horses.  Angela is very clever at making cakes and is a good cook.

My card for Sunny Challenges 053/12

This is my card for Sunny Challenges 053/12
http://sunnychallenges.blogspot.com.au/


We had to make a birthday card to the following sketch
I made the card this afternoon to post to a friend who likes red

I used Roses cuttlebug, Stampin Up Stamps and a piece of rose paper.  The happy birthday was stamped with red but the colour is not right on the scan.

I am having problems with my computer every time I look at other blogs.  I have had to come to my grand daughter's lap top to add the card to my blog as it just kept coming up error on my computer.
