This month we had a colour challenge using the colours Blackberry Bliss, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive. They are very reminiscent of Autumn , but my card has a touch of late Summer about it!! I used the Dainty Delight stamp set. I do love this set and the versatility of it and have used […]
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 our challenge was to use a layout to create a card. I decided to make a sympathy card as a friend lost his mother this week. I used the ‘By the Bay’ suite again for this card. You might notice that I love this suite. I’m sad that it will soon be retired. […]
