Going round in circles


Our new theme over at
has been chosen by the lovely Wendy and she wants to
see us use CIRCLES!

For my tag I cut the base using Countryside Corners dies and then
using Timeless Arrangements stamp set I stamped the circles in
daffodil delight. I then cut the next size down in brights
daffodil delight spotty paper.
I cut three circles, one in white and two in daffodil delight.
Using die cuts from the Timeless Arrangements I matted
the leaves and flowers around the largest circle.
I finished with a sentiment and some ribbon added using a brad.

I hope you get time to join us.

More scrappy cards!


This is another video for my VIP Group to help use up those scraps.
These little pieces are only 3" x 3/4" so should be easy enough
to retrieve some from a matching paper pack.
I used scraps from Countryside Inn dsp pack and added some
boho blue card and ink.
Another quick and easy card to make.

Another hot day out there. Painting my daughter's decking
was not an easy task so had to give up and crawl into the shade lol.
Enjoy your weekend!

A day at the beach!






It's the second week of Sandie's nautical theme over at

I love a nautical theme but I don't have any nautical stamps
so best get them on my list!!
I did dig out this old Patchwork Pals set.
I inked up the background, stamped the pier and fish
and coloured them in. The little boy was stamped, coloured
and cut and popped in place.
I then gave him a fishing net.
That is as nautical as I can get lol.

Around the world!

Our June challenge theme over at
is AROUND THE WORLD.
It brought to mind the Jules Verne book Around the world in 80 days!

We have two lovely prizes up for grabs so get your
stamps out and come and join us!

For my card I dug out an very old stamp from Papermania called Chronology. 
I cut a piece of paper to fit my card, stamped some cogs and
matted onto black card.
On the base of the card I stamped more cogs, top and bottom.
I then stamped some cities using Alphabest stamp set.
The globe was stamped, coloured and cut and 3d'd
onto the centre of my card.
I finished with a sentiment from Easter Bunny stamp set.

It's an absolute scorcher out there!!
Hope you are all enjoying the weather.
Make hay while the sun shines for sure, could be snowing next week!!

Funfold Card


We got back from our trip yesterday afternoon.
Totally knackered as the journey takes 4 hours in the car.
But it was well worth it, we had a lovely time.
Weather was brilliant, hotel was perfect and we got lots of
walks in the sunshine. Bit of sight seeing around
Westport House and gardens.

This card was made for my daughter-in-law's birthday today.
Rachel loves all things green and has a great garden
with lots of vegetables and flowers growing right next door!!


There is a tutorial for this fold, free, when you sign up for my newsletter.
Link in top bar.
As you can see it folds perfectly flat for posting.


I stamped the flowers back and front and doubled them up
so the flower pots would look nice from the back too.

Another lovely day out there but unfortunately I have
a lot of orders to get sorted before I can enjoy the garden.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
