It's ok .....



We have another week of Wendy's theme
blue and green over at

This week I have used blue and green background papers
and stamped one of the cute cats directly onto the paper.
The sentiment is from one of the free Sale-a-bration! sets
called Sending Support.
I used the very best trio punch to shape the tops
and finished with a piece of green ribbon.

Hope you get time to join us this week.

I honestly don't think I have ever felt a January go this fast!
It's so crazy that it's February tomorrow!
Not long till Spring lol.
My daughter and her partner now have the dreaded flu bug!
Seriously trying to bring us all down but thankfully
not at the same time!
Stay healthy and thanks for dropping by!

Gift Wallet for cards


Happy Monday!
Today I thought I would share two of my wallets.
Tutorial available via newsletter in sidebar.



This is an inside view showing how you can add
two notecards and envelopes to either side.



This is the second colour I went with.
It's so easy to make these, no glue, no cutting,
just a quick fold and burnish!

I would like to enter the wallet on the left into

Bright and sunny today.
I have the shopping done and will be heading out for
short walk with Squirt.
That's all he can manage now, he will 16 in February!
Have a great week!

Just wanted to say...


I followed another great sketch over at
Try Stampin' on Tuesday.
Loved the layout and it worked perfectly for another card
for my second wallet fill.

I was very good again and finished the insides off.

Bitter cold here again!
Poor Squirt had a job getting across the decking this morning.
He honestly looked like Bambi lol but
he made it in the end!
I, on the other hand, nearly pulled the railings
down trying to keep on my two feet!!
Have a lovely weekend.

Labour of love!


I had a request from a customer for a funfold card for a
70th birthday.
So I decided to make an a5 version of this.
Nearly blew my brain trying to work out the cuts and folds lol
but I got there in the end.


This is the back, with lots of space for a long verse.

I am heading out today with my beautiful daughter for coffee
and a bit of shopping. Always get excited when we get
time together!!
Enjoy your day.
