  • Bloomin’ with Beauty

    It’s been awhile since I’ve made a card just for me, not part of a class or Linc n Learn. I stamped and coloured the image last night whilst watching TV, then this morning it took about 10mins to put together. I’ve cased the card from the latest US Idea Book & Catalogue, so it…

  • Tree Trimmings

    Tree Trimmings is a really great value for money stamp set {well i think so anyway} I also think it’s going to be a favourite. Fits noicely into the oval punches don’t you think? I’m keeping the Tree Trimmings Bundle open for a little longer, but now because of the Gift with Purchase you’ll also…

  • Sense of Time

    I do believe that it’s Father’s Day next weekend. Most people struggle with masculine cards, a colour combo that I love for mens cards is Always Artichoke, Mellow Moss and Very Vanilla – very muted and classic. We made this card at Linc n Learn, and I had special guests this week too! One of…

  • Great Friends

  • Pun Fun

    So I finally used another of the Pun Fun stamps – I really only got it for the rocket ship, but all the images are cute. The card is one we made at Linc n Learn this week and is also a sketch from The Sweetest Thing. I had Karen make me a watermark for…

  • A Rose is a Rose

    I forgot to post this one last week, it was our second Linc n Learn card. My favourite set was always Roses in Winter from the first Catalogue, last years set Wild Roses didn’t really do it for me, but yay, I’ve another nice rose set.  It looks great in so many different colours, I’ll…

  • More Circle Circus

    Hubby had a birthday party to go to last night (I was on babysitting duties), no presents were required but it’s always nice to take a token gift. Chocolate is always a nice gift to receive, but the presentation can really set it off. So I had a quick crafting session yesterday afternoon to create…

  • Circle Circus

    Today I found a new sketch challenge from The Sweetest Thing. It’s not an ‘Alisa Card’ but I really love the way it turned out, and it came together so quickly. I’ve used some of the new Parisian Breeze Designer Paper.  You will have to get some of this in August.  It’s not paper at…
