Double Post



Our first challenge for 2026 over at
has started and the theme is
Beginning with B/anything goes.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs
so be sure and join us.

I went with a Bookmark for my B as
I had made two of these for my Grandsons
who are both avid readers.
I used stamps from Card-io called Biscuit Buddies
and the papers are from The Creepsville
Gazette, IndigoBlu.

I punched some tiny pages from my dictionary
to turn into mini books for the mice to read.
The bookmarkers are actually wooden ones
which I covered with the papers,
back and front then stamped directly
over the top.
The sentiment is from an old HD book
of quotes. I finished them off with
some wool.

ALL THINGS NEW/anything goes

I went with a Happy New Year card and have
used an old SU set called
Beautiful Balloons.

and also did some stamping in-between
the balloons.

from Itty Bitty Birthdays (SU).
layered onto matching card

Tag-along with us


It's time for a midway post over at
where the theme is red and green/anything goes.
And remember you can now enter with a tag,
an ATC or a bookmark!!

For my tag I started with a white background,
punched for the tag shape using my trio punch.
I then played around with my green and red inks,
spritzing with water and allowing it to
get it's groove on lol.
When dry, I dipped the lid of my wink of stella pen
into white ink and added the circles to the bottom
of the tag.
I then flicked some gold and white ink over the
whole tag. I die cut the snowflake (Tutti Designs)
and added to the centre and decorated with
a large red pearl.
I stamped the sentiment (SU) and added  to
the tag and then went in with some red
enamel effects for more texture.
I inked around the edge of the tag in green
and finished with some red and green ribbon
through the eyelet.

I would like to enter my tag into


******************************************************



For my ATC I started with a white background
to which I added red and green ink and spritzed
with water and allowed to dry.
I then went in with a stencil (SU) and added
some Tim Holtz crystal paste.
I then used a stamp/die set called  Dashing Deer
and die cut the reindeer in kraft card.
I stamped the little flower over the top of
him and added a tiny dot of enamel effects in red.
I added him to my ATC
and then drew around him in black to make him pop.
I finished with a sticker sentiment.

I hope you get time to join us as we have a lovely
prize up for grabs!!

Snow business!


I'm sharing some more of my Christmas cards
made recently.
For these two I used a set from
Card-io stamps called Christmas Companions.




The snowman has been stamped onto the white card
and then I masked it off to add some blue background
and some white ink splatters for snow.
I coloured him up with markers
and stamped the sentiment on top
and finished with some glamour dust for added
sparkle!

two boxes from one 12" x 12" paper.

Garden themed folio


I'm in the process of making a bunch of items for my
daughter to bring to her table at Q-Con,
which is a big comic/gamer con at Queen's University
in Belfast. Lots of kids are brought there by parents
so I thought these might be nice to give away to the suffering parents.
 Last year I did a load of worry worms
but this year I thought I would do some folios, miniature books
and needle felted monsters.

This is one of the folios with a garden theme.
Great for using up my stash!
The front has a pocket, metal corners and ties with a ribbon.



On the back I added some linen thread, torn papers
and a little watering can charm.
Inside I have created note books and the last book
has a few pages for each season in the garden.


You can watch a quick walk through video here
for the insides.



Items used
Stamp sets - Enjoy Life, Love this moment, tabs for everything,
poinsettia petals and Itty Bitty Christmas (all SU).
Papers - K & Co scrap pad.
Inks - distress inks - peeled paint, shaded spruce (SU)
sewing machine, eyelets, ribbon, pearls, vellum and
old diary pages.

Neglected stash used - eyelets, charms, paper pack, beads.

Snowy Christmas


Just popping on to share a card I made for one of my boys.
There is Mum, Dad and two boys so I used half
a snowman for each of the kids.
I used some wintery background paper from SU and added
some torn paper for the snow hills.
The snow people are from a Polkadoodles stamp and die set.
They have been coloured up with markers and
I stamped and coloured some parcels to set in front of the kids.
The snow has had some glamour dust sprinkled on
and I stamped the sentiment from
Itty Bitty Christmas (SU) and punched the layers out
using the double oval punch (SU).

stuck in the kitchen for a while lol!

Have a purrrrrfect Christmas!


I have been patiently waiting on this stamp arriving and was
nearly giving up hope but it came!!
I had ordered it specifically to make my daughter's Christmas card
as she has 3 cats she recently adopted (mad I know lol).
This set will be available to buy in January in the new mini catalogue
and it's called Love Cats.

I used picture this dies for the background,
stamped the  cats and cut them out so I could
slip them in where I thought would work.
One of them is hiding behind the others tail lol. Happy accident!!
I finished with two sentiments and a little
ribbon to give the stars somewhere to hang!


I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas day
with lots of  family and friends near you.
Thanks so much for all your generous support
throughout the year. It is sincerely appreciated!!
