I have been absent a bit from my social media recently as I was distracted by my mum being very ill and then her death and our journey to the UK to say goodbye. I found it hard to be creative unless I really had to. However I am trying to get back into posting […]
This month we have been given the challenge to use the following colours: Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam and our choice of one of the new In Colours from the 2022-2023 Catalogue. I decided to use Sweet Sorbet and chose the Hues of Happiness Bundle, Natural Prints and Eden dies. I began with a Thick […]
This month for our Blog Hop, we had a sketch on which to base our card. This past weekend I was playing with the Waves of the Ocean suite. I had bought this several weeks ago but it arrived the day I was leaving to go overseas for a funeral, so the suite had to […]
This month we had a colour challenge using the colours Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee. These are the retiring colours for 2020 – 2022. I will miss these – especially Misty Moonlight – as it has been a softer colour of navy! I chose a stamp set that I hadn’t used for a while […]
