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.

Punched white card with Martha Stewart snowflake border punch.  Stamped Hero Arts "Heaven & Nature".  Stamped Bildmalarna stamp Little Winged Friends "Christmas Gift" and two stamps from Annabelle Stamps "Christmas Scene baubles" onto white card and attached to red card.  Used snowflakes cut out from the border to decorate the side.
