It was my wedding anniversary a week ago. My husband and I are not really the lovey dovey types but after both of us forgot our anniversary last year (we were totally baffled why my mother-in-law had sent us a card!) we decided to make a point of celebrating it. Yep, an excuse to spend endless... Continue Reading →
I'm afraid its another shaker card. For a special occasion its worth putting in the effort and time to make a special card. I think one of the best bits of making your own cards is being able to personalise them. This was made for my Cousin and her new hubby. Craft stash used: Anita's... Continue Reading →

Well, it has been a long week. My little boy has been unwell with an ear infection all week so all I've managed is to give medicine and lots of cuddles. My husband also had an upset stomach and, being totally phobic of anything sickness related, I spent the week armed with bleach. Towards the... Continue Reading →
I have a poorly 4 year old at the moment so thought I'd share a quick card I made for my Nephew's birthday. I love shaker cards but get irritated when the sequins get stuck to the acetate. I've tried using an anti static pad on it first but it still seems to happen so... Continue Reading →
I've been a little busy this last week. I hardly seem to have had any time to sit at my craft table so I thought I'd share something I made for my Mum last Christmas. My first attempt (and currently last) at making a figure out of fimo. Some sneaky red clay crept into the... Continue Reading →
