This month our challenge was a layout. I decided to use a combination of three stamp sets – Magical Meadow, Go to Greetings and Irresistible Blooms. Magical Meadow, although marketed as a Christmas stamp set, could be used throughout the year. In fact I have set myself a challenge to create a Christmas card and […]
This year is flying past! I cannot believe it is August already! We had a colour challenge this month – we had to use Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Pecan Pie. I have had a little bit more time on my hands since I broke my wrist a few weeks ago, but it has been […]
This month we had a layout challenge. I used Circle Sayings and the accompanying circle punch and added Bright and Beautiful DSP. On one card, I cut a strip off the right hand side front and the other one just has the DSP turned over. I used Bubble Bath and Azure Afternoon as the bases […]

This month we have had a new challenge that I don’t think we have done before! It is called ‘Tic Tac Toe’. Like the game you need to get three in a row – horizontally, vertically or diagonally. I have used Heat Embossing, Designer Series Paper and Dies for my challenge. Two of my grandchildren […]
Welcome to 2023 and our first blog hop of 2023! Happy New Year to everyone! Our blog challenge this month was a sketch. As many of you know I grew up in Northern Ireland on a farm, and at times I miss the Friesian cows that my dad had on the farm. Somehow they made […]
