- About me…. After forty years of the daily hustle, I officially traded my briefcase for a crochet hook in September 2025! My life is a colourful tapestry woven with love, family, and a lifelong obsession with making things by hand. When I'm not lost in a sea of paper (my favourite obsession since 2008!), you’ll find me adventuring with my husband, John, and our big, fluffy shadow, Moosh—an 8-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog with a heart as big as his paws. My greatest treasures are my daughter, Lauren, and the three little stars who call me Nana: Harper, Callie, and Casey. I’ve been crafting stories and keepsakes since childhood, and now I finally have all the time in the world to let my imagination run wild! ✨🧶✂️

Do you enjoy making fun fold cards? This week I created this different fold which is A2 in size, i cut from corner to corner on the front flap and added in love with Autumn paper pack you can find HERE, next I added a square piece of card and glued it in on the right hand side, I placed another piece from the autumn paper pack and coloured up a flower stamp, butterfly and added a sentiment stamp taken from big-birthday-surprise-stamp. Finally I embossed the wood grain stencil and coloured with distress ink, I coloured up Having -a-giraffe-clear-stamp-set-for-card-making-craft-scrapbooking/ the leafy-fronds-die cuts was coloured also with green distress inks and the big-hello-sentiment-die-was added to finish this card off

Graduation day!
Hi everyone! Challenge day today so this means it’s Saturday yeah!
The inspiration for this card came from my Granddaughter, she’s just turned 4 and graduates from nursery this year. So with her in mind, i chose to go cute. Using distress ink I stencilled the background in frayed burlap, and abc123-stencil I coloured up this image taken from the graduation bundle found here cute-girl-with-glasses-books--bag, other elements, pencils, sentiment, bunting and balloon was taken from the big bundle which you can find HERE you will find so much inspiration from this bundle.
Right I’m signing off now to pack a small bag as I’m having an operation on Wednesday, but I’ll be back soon.
