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. 
 

I have been seeing this paper ribbon technique on line, so I decided to try it on this card. I enjoyed making it for the background of my card. This is a good way to use up some paper scraps!

Punches Series #11

Hi and welcome to my blog. Here is card number 11 in my punches series! The background of this card was made by using a Martha Stewart wide border punch. I covered the card front with the punched strips to make a textured background.


I have also been  trying to use up a lot of things in my stash. I found these flowers and leaves that I had stamped and cut out from backgrounds that I had made. The saying is made from 3D stickers from a saying book. 

Stamps:  Flowers - Rubbernecker
               Leaves -  Spellbinders
Punch:    Martha Stewart

Punches Series #10

Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you are having a good day! Here is another card for my punches series. This is my favorite border punch. It is so elegant looking. It was nice to use some patterned paper since lately I have been using backgrounds that I have made. The bird was stamped on an alcohol inked marbled background that was in my stash. I fussy cut it and adhered it onto the card. I was happy to use the flower that we made in one of my small stamping groups!


Stamp:  Scribbly Bird - Dina Wakely
Flower - Heartfelt Creations
Punch - Martha Stewart
Paper:  Summer Flowers - Craft O'Clock

I would like to enter this card into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes and Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a blessed day!
