All things nautical


Our new challenge theme over at
has been chosen by the lovely Sandie and she wants to see
anything nautical!

My tag today is a digital one as I'm away for a few days.
I used Nitwits papers and embellishments to make
a round tag.

Timeless arrangements


This card was made for a video tutorial for my VIP group.
It is quick and easy to make and I love the boho blue
and night of navy colours together.
The night of navy rectangles have been dry embossed.

Beep beep!


It's the second week of Valerie's challenge
TRAVEL over at

I used the Driving By stamp set again,
this time using the car stamp.
I stamp a mirror image to get them going in two
directions. I also used the left over pieces from
my card on Friday to create the background.
The cars have been coloured using my blends.
The sentiments are all hand written 🙈.
As I keep my tags as dividers for my diary/journal
I decided to add an extra bit of width to this tag
so I could punch holes to add to my book.
I finished with a piece of stapled ribbon.

Hope you get time to play along!

Dragonfly Birthday


I did another video tutorial for my VIP group,
this time using up some card scraps.

It was a slow process but I really do like the finished look.
I went with my dragonfly punch to finish it off,
adding some sparkle card, coloured to match my card pieces.

I thought the wings were a bit flat in the black card
so added some wink of stella for extra sparkle.
I'd be happy to give this to a male or female.

Spent the morning in Ikea but didn't get nothing
other than our lunch lol but lovely day out.
It's our daughter-in-law's birthday tomorrow and maybe
a bit of gardening on Sunday.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Add some stencilling


This is my midway post for our stamp anything/option stencil
over at
We have two lovely prizes on offer so be sure and get
your entries in soon.


For my card I used a very small script stencil I had
lying in my stash for years. I think I bought it in the Works.
I stencilled my square in pumpkin pie ink then stamped
along the bottom using Timeless Arrangement stamps.
The flowers have been coloured to match.
The background papers are in pumpkin pie and daffodil delight
from the Brights paper pack which I am in love with!

I hope you get time to join us!
