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.

LeAnn's World 101 Facebook group challenge.

LeAnn kindly gave us a free digi stamp to use in the first challenge at LeAnn's World 101 Facebook group.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1836531013324656/

I have made a journal page and unfortunately my scanner won't work again today.  (It worked yesterday) so I have had to take a photo again which is not very good.

I painted journal page with  purple ink and drew squiggles through the paint.
Mixed moulding paste and white paint together and painted through a stencil.
When dry sponged with purple distress ink pad.
Printed sentiment, cut out and layered on top.
Printed the free stamp "Kitty" from LeAnn, coloured with markers, cut out and layered on top.
Added paper lace.

Whoopsi Daisy Facebook Group progressive challenge

I made a mistake a few posts ago and said the elephant was the digi stamp for the Whoopsi Daisy facebook progressive challenge.  I was wrong.  I have now made a card with the correct image.
Go to the group to find out how you can get this lovely image.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/294035750770262/

My eyes are bad so I printed the digi stamp large and coloured it with markers and then scanned it and reduced it to go on my card.
I layered papers from Whoopsi Daisy. The back paper is from Cute as a button CD and and the others from Sweet Daisy May CD.

I followed March challenge sketch at Cheerful Sketches so I would like to add my card to that challenge.
