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).

A while ago the talented Cobs suggested a crafting idea that I could make with my jewellery making findings and beads and I loved it. I felt this idea was a collaboration and wanted to send her some of the finished embellishments so she could see the results for herself. In return I got the most… Continue reading Happy Mail

During the 30 Day Colouring Challenge I coloured the same rose stamp once with Polychromos pencils and again with Promarkers with the intention to colour/paint it again with watercolours. I enjoy doing this as I’m always intrigued… Continue reading Color Throwdown – Watercolour Roses
