It has been a while since I posted here, my christmas cards didn’t happen. I had a design all worked out, and then the stamps I ordered to make it didn’t arrive in time. I played around to see if I could modify them as New Years cards but alas I could not. So that […]

I made this card for my manager’s birthday in September. She keeps all the cards I give her -birthday, Christmas and her wedding card too – and has them on display in her office, so I need to make sure I do something different for her each year. I know she likes vintage style, shabby […]
This was for my friend Emma, as part of a package of crafting materials I sent her. I have held of posting it til I know she got the package, but now I can put the card up 🙂 Emma is a card maker and mixed media artist too, so I wanted to play around […]
