I love a challenge, and the team from the Helping Hudson set a good one.  It’s Challenge 9 – Colour, and the task is to use only one colour.  You can add one neutral colour, I chose white, and use your main colour in varying shades to make your project.  I set myself an even […]


Over at Helping Hudson, they have been running challenges and offering great tutorial packages (at a small cost) to help raise money for a special chair for little Hudson.  I have been meaning to play along with a challenge all month and now that there is only 2 hours left to join in, I have […]


For those of you that didn’t make it to my birthday card class yesterday, this is one of the cards you missed out on making. Isn’t it so cute.  I love everything about it, especially the button flower of course.  You all know how much I love to make flowers 😉 But I also love […]


I bought this stamp set recently (non Stampin’ Up!) and used it to put on a CD pocket that I gave to the girls in the church group. The CD was a present from the youth leaders to the girls and had all the photos we had taken throughout the last year and a slide […]


Paper Tole

08Aug09

I have a confession to make, I secretly love paper tole.  Paper Tole is the technique of layering multiple copies of an image together to form a 3 dimensional version of the picture.  Sometimes it can be a bit cluttered and too grandma-ish (no offense to any Grandma’s reading this) but the time and skill […]


Get Whale Soon

This is another card for someone special.  It needed to be bright and cheery as the illness is not 😦 I haven’t really used these colours before as I’m not a ‘bright colours’ person.  But I think this card look greats.  I don’t even have the inks to match but Not Quite Navy has worked […]


I had my first class at home yesterday.  I think it went quite well apart from the fact that it took 3 1/2 hours!  I didn’t realize how long it would take.  I guess the fact that my tape runners ran out and we had to cut double sided tape off the roll really chewed […]


I caved in recently and bought the much sort after Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set.  This is my first attempt at using it.  I have seen so many lovely designs but thought I’d keep this one simple and come up with my own. I have used Pink Pirouette cardstock for the base and also the […]


Ears to you

26Jun09

“Ears” the last card in my ‘made to order’ range.  This one was by far the easiest.  There were absolutely no requirements other than for it to be a birthday card.  I just got the Animal Crackers stamp set and has to use my favourite image.  This bunny is so cute and he’s saying “Ears […]


Country Chick

24Jun09

I am really stepping out of my comfort zone here.  I have been asked to make a few cards with specific interests in mind.  This is the first one.  The criteria for this one was that it needed to be for a birthday and the recipient likes the ‘Country Style’ and the colour maroon.  I […]
