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!

Plus the design team is offering this super unmounted   

 Gruffie stamp set  to one lucky winner..

Many thanks to our Generous Sponsors for their continued support.

I followed the get well theme for my card today since this is the time of year we need to have get well cards on hand. I am hoping that I do not need them though. I paper pieced the blanket on this poor little mousey.

Stamp:  Chewable Asprin - Stampendous

Paper:  Bloom Street - American Crafts

Tri Point Card

Hi and welcome to my blog. I have been on a roll this week making cards. I saw this fun fold card and wanted to make it right away. It looks hard to make but it is really easy! I am entering this into the Butterfly Challenge. Here is the link to their challenge and how to make the card. I used all the colors for the challenge. I could not find any patterned paper in ALL the paper I have that had the colors so I made my own. I took a piece of floral resist watercolor paper from a paper pad and brushed the different colors over it. (tickle me pink. tea green, thistle and tan) I really enjoyed making this type card.

Stamp:  Butterfly Kisses - BoBunny

Dies:  Layered Ovals - Sizzix

Paper:  Resist Paper - Recollections

Punches Series #2

Welcome to my blog and to my punches series! This year I am focusing on using my many punches that I have not used in a long time.

I used a pretty Fiskars punch for the border on my card.

Winter Wonderland

Hi and welcome to my blog! We had 6 inches of snow the weekend before last! That is very unusual for us here in SC. So we had a winter wonderland for a few days. I love this cute little polar bear looking at the snowflakes. For the background on my card, I swiped some yupo paper through three different colors of blue alcohol inks to make the sky. The snowflakes were punched from white glitter card stock. I added glitter glue to the snowbank and around the bear. Over at Double D Challenge the theme is Blue and White Winter with an inspiratipn board.

Here is my card for the challenge.

Stamps:  Polar Bear - Stampendous

Punches Series #1

Hi and welcome to my blog. Each year I have a series on my blog where I try twice a month to use things in my stash or use things that I have not crafted with for a long time. This year I want to bring out my punches and actually use them! They have been neglected for way too long! What in your stash have you not used in forever? Here is my first punch card for this year. I am always in need of birthday cards, so that is what I started with for this year's series. I punched each color of card stock diagonally and layered them. I used some of the punched out stars to add interest. This fun cat image from Penny Black just makes me happy!

Stamp:  Good Day Stamp Set - Penny Black

Punch:  Martha Stewart
