Hi there & today I'm posting a card I made for the Just Magnolia challenge which is to use green. It's not  one of my more common colour schemes, which is why I love challenges so much cause it makes you come up with things you never would have on your own, & often with better results! So here's what I did... ...Anyhow after finishing & contemplating I decided it probably just wasn't

Hi all & today I have a Mothers Day card that I've made & am so chuffed with - think it may be my fave make yet! I've been obsessed with 'finding my style' for the nest part of last year & was really getting miffed that I coundn't seem to put ym finger on it.

Morning crafters! & I must start with a quick appology about this post as its late. First of all I got my dates mixed up, but then I found out my laptops got loads of viruses so am now on a really slow old computer which is not only driving me mad, but won't post or comment most of the time. So I'm trying to work through it - but just being a total nightmare! -I don't know if its not one thing -

Morning all! Todays post is my second post for the Card Makin Mamas design team. The challenge this time was a recipe; 1 image, 2 papers & 3 embellishments. To be really honest I found this soooo difficult. I never realised just how much I like to embellish my cards,so when reetricted to just 3 - I was stumped! So I have to confess I kinda cheated a little bit, but as its in the name of

Hi All, hope you's all ok! Today I've got another easel card. I didn't really used to be into these all that much, but now since I've been doing my blog, for some reason - I'm well into them! - That extra little bit gives you so much more scope for extra space to add to the design. Usually I only do easel cards for special makes & in a shabby, vintage or pretty style/look. But this is completely
