Bio.
I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!


Many thanks to our generous Sponsors for their continued support!

Frames Series #21

 Welcome back to my frames series. I am almost finished for this year! Only 3 more frame cards to show. I made this frame by using my favorite Martha Stewart punch. I found this small piece of watercolor paper where I had randomly stamped small leaves using Distress inks and spritzed the inked stamps with water before stamping them. It was perfect to use for the frame size. 




Stamps:  Leaves - Inkadinkado
Embossing Folder:  Wood Grain - Recollections
Punch - Martha Stewart
Die:  Bird - Unknown
Distress Inks - Ranger (TH)
Alcohol Markers - Caliart
