Quilling challenge over at Trimmies




Hi guys,


Rozzy over at Trimmies is doing a quilling challenge. She has given us a pattern to follow just to get the feel for it. Quite a few of us said that we had quilling papers hidden in the cupboards and that we had given it a go but then put it all away. So the challenge was born. I really enjoyed doing this card and it was great to put old techniques back into practise.
Thanks for looking!

Left over nesties

HI guys,


Yes.......still playing with the nesties. I was looking at the outsides left over from my mad cutting session and wondered what I could do them. I didn't want any waste. So I made the below card. Nice and simple.

Flower Pot Pocket Card



Hi guys,
I found a wonderful site for the splitcoaststampers. I found the instructions for the Flower Pot Pocket card and this is my attempt. I am very happy with it and just have to make the envelope for it. I am going to give this to my future mother in law for her birthday next week.

New nesties


Well I got around to play with my new nesties and I love them. I used autumn colours which to me is different shades of browns. I did embossed the thank you with copper embossing powder. It is a simple thank you and I really like it.

Another crafting day

Hi guys,


Had another brilliant crafting day at Paperlace, Katie and Glassman's house. I had my second lesson in parchment and did some gridwork. I think the project should have taken me just over an hour but with all the chatting it turned into an all day thing. I got some new nesties which are brilliant and Paperlace played with these while I did my parchment.


Thanks for looking.

Crafty Pad sketch challenge

Hi guys,
There is a wonderful challenge on Crafty pad. It is a sketch and this is my offering. I did something a little bit different with cutting the fancy edge and putting paper on the inside of the card so that it showed through. I have enjoyed making this card.
