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!

I try to make Christmas cards throughout the year so that I will not be so crunched right before Christmas. This challenge is a good way to get some of those Christmas cards made early! I just love this sneaky little mouse gnawing on the candycane.  I added a hat sticker to the mouse to make him more festive.


Stamp:  Mini Stamp Set - Holiday - Stampendous
Dies:  Stitched Circle - Gina Marie   Multi-frame Circle - Nellie Snellon
Windswept Stems - Memory Box
Patterned Paper:  Christmas/Winter - DCWV
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you will join us over at the challenge.  Have a great day!
