Bio.
I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!



Many thanks to our generous Sponsors for their continued support.  

I went with the "rainbow" theme for my card. Rainbow colors make me think of birthdays, so I decided to make a birthday card. I had this background in my stash where I used a numbers stencil and the Crayola marker pump to spray the colors over the stencil. 


Stamp:  Spring Mini Stamp Set - Stampendous
Dies:  Labels 18 - Spellbinders
Stencil:  Numbers - Unknown
Crayola Markers
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope to see you over at the challenge! Have a fun day!

Many Ways to Color #20 - Finger Daubers

Hi and welcome to my blog! I realized when getting ready to make my card that I did not have much to color with! We are in the process of moving and I have packed up a lot of my crafting stuff. If there is a will there's a way, right?  I saw that my finger daubers were still left out, so I decided to color with those! I stamped the pumpkin stamp and just used my finger daubers that had ink left on them. I did not use my ink pads. This was fast and easy and the colors blended so well. This method of coloring works best when using a stamp that is large and basically one color. I will color this way more often now!

A cloud stencil was used to make the sky and again I used finger daubers to color it and the leaves.


Stamps:  Pumpkins - Impression Obsession
               Saying - Sparkle N Sprinkle
Die:        Skeleton Leaves - Sizzix (Tim Holtz)
Stencil:   Cloud - My Favorite Things

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Happy Birthday

Hi and welcome to my blog. I am showing a card today that I made for the Penny Black Saturday challenge. The challenge is anything goes or choose 3 things from the bingo card. I chose sentiment, Penny Black stamped image and the color orange.


I pulled out a gelli background from my stash. I stamped the cute Penny black image, colored it with alcohol markers and fussy cut it to place on the background. The saying is a sticker.



Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
