Tower Flap Card






Sorry for the photo overload but there are so many angles
to see with this fold I felt they needed to be seen.
When I saw the challenge over at
I had to have a go at the fold Valery-Anne was using.
It's called a Tower Flap Card
and it truly was a labour of love!
I spent the whole day on it, seriously.
But I was well pleased with the finished card
and as it's for my Mother-in-law's birthday this month,
I think it was worth it. She will be 82 this month and still loves
her make up and lipstick and goes to the hairdresser weekly!

We are decorating our small front room which
my hubby used as an office. He's now in my old craft room
at the back of the house and I have moved to a brighter room
at the front of the house which is also the utility room lol.
I think I lucked out there!!
But we thought the small room would be easier to heat in the winter
with all these price rises coming!!
So we will just have the couch and a tv and our books.
Think I should call our house CHANGING ROOMS!
But it does help to keep everything fresh. You would not
believe where you would find cobwebs like Irish lace!

Colour challenge at Tag Tuesday




It's my turn to pick the theme over at
and I have gone with purple and orange, both or either!

For my tag I have gone with a splattered background.
I then stamped some of the foliage in rich razzleberry ink.
I stamped more of the same, as well as some in pumpkin pie ink,
die cut them and layered them together with a little bakers twine bow.
The tag has been finished with matching ribbon
stapled to the top!

My son's whole family came down with Covid last week.
My youngest Grandson was first to show symptoms and
then it quickly passed around the whole family.
Grandson Sean had to be rushed to A&E as it
went straight for his lungs and he has asthma.
Luckily within 10 minutes they had him hooked up to oxygen
and medication pumped into him
He was kept overnight and they were happy to
let him go home.
Scary time for us all but thankfully they are all on the mend.

Animals, birds and bugs!!


Our new theme for October over at
Animals, Birds and Bugs!

We are sponsored by


For my card I have used a variety of stamps and created
a snowy scene with my trees and brushes.
The animals have been stamped separately,
coloured with blends and added to my card.
I finished it off with some linen thread.
