Happy Friday and greetings from Hong Kong! It's another INSPO challenge across at Festive Friday for you and this week we are celebrating Easter. As usual, you don't have to follow our theme - you just need to choose at least three of the items from our INSPO list to include on your creation. I decided it was time to pull out an old set from The Greetery featuring lilies. After all - they are just perfect for Easter themed cards. Mind you, I didn't follow the theme and made this a happy you day card. Here's a sneak peek:... Read more →

Happy Sunday and greetings from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia! Well, considering the turquoise beaches, warm sunshine and almost cloudless sky here on the Great Barrier Reef, it seems a little odd writing a blog post about rainy days! However, that is the theme from the fabulous Claire this week. I used a VERY old set to crate this card. It's one that Lou got for free in a British card making magazine that he bought on sale at an airport kiosk somewhere he had been visiting in the world. I honestly can't remember where anymore. However, it's one... Read more →
