Over the Easter weekend I held a card stall at a gaming convention, an alternative to running a game as I had been unwell and didn’t have time to write it. I didn’t do my usual range of cards, instead focusing on a range that reflected the themes of the games – fantasy, horror, historical, […]
Despite good intentions, I once again got behind with posts. This was due to a number of reasons, including: making cards for the crazy Christmas period making different cards for the New Year period going into hospital for major surgery on 23 December while I was recovering from surgery, my brother visited from the UK, […]
One of my colleagues had her birthday a while back, and I wanted to play around with some new papers and wooden embellishments I got around Christmas time. The papers are from Prima Marketing’s Epiphany collection (specifically the Striking Appearance design), which has distressed, watercolour-esque backgrounds with black doodle style images.

My brother’s birthday was in July, and he is a big fan of cats (like all my family). I have a tin of Cavallini & Co vintage cat poster stickers, and I found one that actually has July on it – a Harper’s cover from what I can tell. Because I am trying to use […]

We have a contractor at work who is getting married on Saturday, registry office as her ‘real’ wedding will be in Europe next year wit her family. We are going to have a morning tea for her on Friday, and I made this card for the team to sign. I was playing with sepia, blue […]
As I mentioned last year, I had some lovely artwork made by the daughters of a friend, which I now have on display on my wall at home. Recently one of these little girls has been very sick (the 2 year old), and so I decided to make her a card. And to avoid jealousy […]
I made this when I was messing around trying to come up with an alternate design to replace my Christmas cards. I wondered if I could use it as a New Year’s card design, but in the end felt that it didn’t work for me that way. However I do really like the images and […]
