- 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! ✨🧶✂️

Altenew Pine Tree
Hi all,
This card has been made using the Altenew pine tree stamp: Its quite a small stamp approx 2 inches, so I layered one stamp down and masked the tree and built it up to be a little taller, I did a second generation stamping in the background, then applied a circle mask and applied stormy sky and faded jeans distress inks using the brush technique, I going to do more of this design using other coloured dye inks and will add them to this post later.
Until my next post "Carry on Crafting folks!"

Altenew: Its a Beautiful day ! same but different
Hello everyone, Its another Bank Holiday here without the sunshine, Not very bright pictures but its getting quite late and dull here. Today I didn't have a chat and craft class so decided to have a play with my new favourite stamps Build a flower set by ALTENEW, I set myself a challenge to use the same ingredients and make 2 different cards! I'm quite happy with the end results and thought id share them with you for some inspiration.
I've used shades of brown dye ink for the sepia look to the flower and leaf images, leaf die, stitched triangle die, twine and background paper, finishing the card with "Just because" sentiment.
Enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend and Happy Crafting Folks!
