I’ve actually finished these with enough time to get them up here to show you before I go away for the weekend.  These are little surprises for the girls on camp. If we see them doing something nice for another girl or helping out the leaders etc. we will leave a little chocolate on their […]


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

08Aug09

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 haven’t done a case of a “Janeybell” in a while so I thought I would because I love the simplistic elegance that she achieves in her cards.  I really like this layout that she used so I used here but changed it to include the new stamp set Great Friend which will be available to […]


The other 2 cards we made at the birthday Stamp-a-Stack were very simple.  I used one that I have previously shown.  If you want to see it then go to Birthday Boy.  The 3rd card was the easiest of all.  I kept saying it was easy but the girls kept laughing at me.  Maybe it […]


For the Bride

16Jul09

I absolutely fell in love with this set,For the Bride, the second I saw it.  I also thought ‘how many times am I going to use it, and is it worth buying it?’  Too practical!! So I didn’t end up buying it.  But I was lucky enough recently to achieve a new level as a […]


The new mini catalogue is a great friend (lol) but in the new Spring Mini Catalogue there is a beautiful stamp set called Great Friend.  I promised I’d put some samples up using mini catalogue items and here is the first one. For this card I have used Not Quite Navy, Old Olive and Baja […]


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 […]


I love the Trendy Trees stamp set but must admit that I was a little stumped (no pun intended) as to how to use it for different occasions and genders.  But there are so many different resources available to get inspiration from.  I got my inspiration from Sarah at Janeybell.  Actually, I pretty nearly copied these […]


Challenge Card

20May09

Well I have finally decided to play along with a couple of the challenges that are bouncing around cyberspace.  And to make it easier on myself I have combined them into 1 card.  The two challenges are – an inspiration colour challenge from Kristina Werner and these are the colours and a sketch challenge from Mojo Monday […]
