Mountain air


Happy Monday!

I made this card for a video tutorial over in my
VIP Customer group on facebook.
It's one of those stamp sets you just get out and have a play with.
There is no right or wrong way and I think
each card comes out differently, depending on your colour
choices and set up.
I have stamped, ink blended and water coloured.

I thought this would be a great card for someone
going through a tough time and I have a person in mind
and know that it will be appreciated.

It's so cold and damp here today after such a lovely day yesterday.
We went bowling with my son Milo and daughter in law Baiba.
Such great fun but felt like the golden oldies!!

Oh Christmas Tree!


Our new challenge has started over at
and our theme is
Christmas Celebrations!

We have two lovely stamps sets up for grabs so come and join us
and get some of those Christmas cards made.

For my card today I have used Trimming the Tree stamp set
with poppy parade colours and an old die set for the
ornate frame.
The background has been stamped in the matching colour
and I added a few chalk pen dots to brighten it up.

I've spent the weekend making up 20 coin boxes for a customer.
They have a Thanksgiving/Irish theme and will be heading
to USA on Monday!
My eyes need a rest now lol so will catch up on my
commenting soon. I will share them tomorrow.

Shake things up!


I have a shaker card to share today using the brand new
Framed Florets bundle and Fitting Florets dsp.
This was the 3rd card in my October customers kit
and I can tell you it was fun trying to get some sequins into
little bags 😂

I cut the frame and added some vellum for my shaker
and popped in some sequins.
The colours are balmy blue and evening evergreen.
The sentiment was stamped onto the vellum.

Out shopping all morning so glad to retreat to my
craft room for a while!
Cold but sunny outside, warm but busy inside!!
Have a lovely weekend everyone.

It's a horrible day out there, wind and rain.
And who turns up only the tree cutters!
They trimmed a bit around the estate then headed off.
Not a day for tree climbing!

Anything goes!


It's time for a new theme over at
and this fortnight Sandie has gone with
anything goes theme!!
So no excuses, come and join in.

For my tag I have used Framed Florets
at the bottom of my tag, watercoloured using my pencils and
blender pen. I stamped the flowers twice so I could 3d them.
The background has been coloured with pencils and wink of stella.
I add a piece of the dsp from Fitting Florets and then stamped
the sentiment in black.
I finished with some pool party ribbon.

We had a lovely day with the family dropping in for dessert.
The youngest Grandson was Count Dracula,
cutest one ever lol.
Lots of fireworks going off throughout the evening
but other than that it was thankfully quiet!!
