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.

Feeling Sketchy inspiration post

It was my turn to do the inspiration post for today at Feeling Sketchy.  I am a bit late it is 11.45 pm here in Sydney.  I didn't have a chance to do a different card technique so I have done a digital scrapbook page.    I don't normally do digital layouts but I am so far behind I thought I would have a go at doing some.  I have used Microsoft publisher.

I have layered photos of two different visits to Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia onto Create with TLC Jungle digi paper 2 and typed heading with WordArt and typed journalling in text box.

Having a bad pain week with the Fibromyalgia and spent this morning at the dentist so I am just getting this done now.  Have to go to bed soon as I have my visit to the chiropractor tomorrow.

I hope you will go over to Feeling Sketchy and see all the inspiration posts by the other members of the design team and join in our card or scrapbook challenge.
