I hope you all had a great Christmas and are looking forward to the new year. I had a good Christmas and definitely hope next year is good. My Mum's birthday was on the 20th of December and as it's so close to Christmas I nearly forgot all about it. We decided to buy her an apron for her birthday, as she had mentioned...

So Hollie has one week left at nursery and then she is off for two weeks. So I have been thinking of the things that she can make to keep her busy. We have some pom poms, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, beads etc, it could be interesting.  For this card I decided to do some layering of paper and card on this card as I think it shows off the patterned...

So it's December. I am gradually getting things ticked off my Christmas gift list and have been making gifts too. I figured that teenagers (and adults) tend to just get themselves what they want when they want and so I would make presents for a lot of the females on my list. This involves cards, gift tags, notebooks etc. I did this last year and decided to...

So we have put up our christmas tree already. It is early I know but my husband and daughter kept asking so it went up. I am beginning to think though that I will have had enough of it before christmas day but never mind. So this card is my attempt to make a card for a younger girl. Paper- Papermania Summer Bloom. Stamp- My Pink Stamper Fabulous...

There are some great printables around for all sorts of different organising, some of the I have used and still use but when it came to a shopping list and to do list I decided to do something different. I chose to create a list that I could use again and again and would cost any more. I decided to create some laminated lists that were pretty but functional. I...

I've never really gotten into scrapbooking mainly because I rarely print photos out these days.  So when My Memories contacted me to try out their digital scrapbook software and give one away, I thought it would be the opportunity to try out some scrapbooking. The software is called My Memories Suite and is very easy to use and I found...

So Halloween has gone, bonfire night has gone and the clocks have gone back, so are we ready for Christmas? he he. I have hardly started. I know it will come quickly enough though. The card today was made using simple washi tape. I love washi tape, all the different colours and patterns. I decided to make a banner card and use...

I decided to make this card for the Ribbon Girl challenge #12, which was to make a card using lilac and green. I have seen there is so many wonderful cards entered but I thought I would give it a go. For this card I used the Basic Grey Kioshi papers as it's full of subtle purples and greens. Paper - Basic Grey Kioshi. Stamp - American Crafts. Flower...

When I came across Wendy Mckee's blog post last year about how she would trace around butterflies from the Internet or die cuts to use in projects I thought was a great idea as you can get so many shapes of butterflies and would bring a bit of diversity to the cards.  I had some die cut butterflies from Jenni Bowlin and didn't want...

~ I have since updated this storage here. ~ Time and time again my daughter would take the DVD out of the case and leave the DVD sticky and with scratches, which can effect the DVD. I decided that I needed to store the DVDs differently, ultimately leaving the DVD covers available to view, as my daughter loves to look at them to chose a DVD, but to...

I like making sets of cards to give as presents and like to find different ways to present them. This time I chose to just make a small set of four cards with envelopes and make a little book to put them in. Paper - My Mind's Eye Bloom and Grow Flower - EK Sucess punch Butterfly - Martha Stewart punch Twine - Ribbon Reel Ribbon and button - Local...
