Hello! I'm still working on the illustration challenge on Facebook. Week 5 was peacock and it sounded so simple. I thought I would have fun with lots of bold colours and draw lots of feathers but the reality is that when I sat at my desk I came up with nothing. A poorly son may... Continue Reading →
A few recent card makes for family and friends birthday in January. I had 3 to make and not much time so I kept them simple but fun (I hope). The first two use one of my favourite stamp sets - Bold Pop Design stamp and die set from Hero Arts and Sizzix. The cards... Continue Reading →
I have fallen a bit behind with the Illustration Challenge this week mainly because I decided to tidy/re-organise my craft space (more on that another day - it turned out to be a huge job!) Week 4 theme was Ode to a favourite children's book. I went between 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle... Continue Reading →
Several days later than planned but here is my entry for this weeks 52 week illustration challenge on Facebook. This weeks prompt was Australiana and, oh boy, I struggled with this one. I had very few ideas and they all seemed a little predictable, throw in an under the weather 6 year old and a heap of... Continue Reading →
I intended to post my illustration on Saturday (as I have for the last two weeks) but I'm still working on it so I thought I'd share a simple birthday card that I made before Christmas. It's a great one for using up little bits of patterned paper from previous projects. If you can cut a... Continue Reading →
If you missed my post last week I am attempting to keep up with the 52 week illustration challenge on Facebook. This weeks word prompt was 'feathered animals'. It seems I am still stuck a little on the whimsy of last week (possibly 'whimsy' is just my style!) and opted for fanciful birds decorating a... Continue Reading →

About 6 months ago I came across the '52 week Illustration Challenge' on Facebook - A word prompt is given, one for each week of the year, and you interpret the word in any... Continue Reading →

Happy Wednesday. I thought I'd quickly share a bracelet I finished today. The truth of the matter is that this little bracelet sat unfinished on my self for a good few months. I fell out with it and I'm not sure why because once I finally sat to finish today it was easy and relaxing. It... Continue Reading →
We all have those cards to make that can be a bit tricky, usually it is 'With Sympathy' ones or 'Thinking of You' as the subject matter, in those cases, is difficult. Well, it is my Husband's Aunt's birthday in a few days but her birthday also marks the first anniversary of her husband's death. I... Continue Reading →
