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 Sponsor for their continued support.  

 Our Second prize donated by the design team is

this super cute clear set of

 Birthday stamps SSCM5007 by Stampendous 

For one lucky winner.

I wanted to use this fun new stamp so I chose the Anything Goes theme for my card today. I already had this background in my stash that I made awhile back. I thought it went perfectly with this stamp. These meeces are so cute soaping up under the tap.

I love making all sorts of backgrounds. I must have over a thousand! I will never use all of them. For this background I just splattered oxide inks across the card using my water pen. I used a brand new stamp! Don't you love this little mousey's lovely "boat"?

Book Binding Card

Hi and welcome to my blog. I want to show you a book binding card I made using a background I made with an embossing folder, inks and water. First you sponge on colors of dye ink, spritz the debossed side of the embossing folder with water then place the inked side of the card stock on the spritzed surface and fold over the embossing folder. Just hold down the folder for a bit to let the water soak in. There will be a pretty pattern as the water dries. I am entering this card into the Butterfly Challenge and I used 2 of the 4 colors - Bondi Blue and Bougainvillea. I am also entering this card into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Add A Die Cut and Dare 2B Artzy - Anything Goes

Stamp:  Butterfly Kisses - BoBunny

Die:  Wildflower Stems - Tim Holtz

Embossing Folder:  3D Flower Swirls - Tim Holtz
