Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. I was thrilled to see this challenge across at Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge: Creating scenes is a major challenge for me... there are so many talented people out in card blogland that create amazing scenes... me I really find them difficult. However, I decided it was time to have some fun with Spring Gnomes and a background stamp from Stamping Bella. And, oh what fun I had :-) Here's the front of the card - I had to hold it together and you'll see why when you see the inside! When you pop it open... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you and your families are all staying safe! It's not often that I get to play along with three challenges at once - but these three challenges came together to remind me to pull out a stamp set that I got for free! The sketch from AAA: The theme from Daring Cardmakers: Umbrella And the colors fro Just Add Ink: I just love this little bunny in in sou-wester jumping in puddles. I paired him with an umbrella from the same set. I paper pieced the umbrella and colored the rest of him with... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. I have a profusion of Forever Blossoms for you tonight! It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's clean and simple theme week.

In fact, I made two cards -... Read more →
Hi Everyone I don't believe I have ever made a card on a Friday afternoon, but after this week I desperately needed to escape to my craft room and do something to help calm me down! I went looking for some inspiration across at Festive Friday and they have a fabulous inspo list this week and, coincidentally, one that fit into one of my favorite all-time stories about what a difference a single person can make. So, although I made the card for the Festive Friday challenge - I dedicate this card to Captain Tom Moore. If you have missed... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you are all staying safe and well. This one is under the wire! I hadn't realized the festivefriday challenge finished today! I made today's card using this inspo list: I'm also playing along with the JAI challenge: I chose insects, yellow and alpha dies. Here's my card: I know you can't see it on the main photo - but I added some shimmer on the wings and on the letters: It was a great challenge and I had fun making my bee card. Another one that is going off to the seniors! I'll be... Read more →
