About Me

Lincoln, United Kingdom
I'm a mum to a 14 yr old. i started cardmaking a good few years ago after watching QVC. I fell for the "It's much cheaper to make your own" line and have never had a penny to my name since. I've recently tried to steer away from my usual cut and stick technique and try to be a bit more adventurous.

Autumn Leaves Are Falling!


I've finally managed to make something decent using Stampbord which up until now has been an extremely difficult product for me to work with. I used my alcohol inks to colour the perspex ATC and the Stampbord and then stamped using my Lavinia Stamps bare tree. I finished off with a few buttons and added an eyelet using the amazing Crop-A-Dile. Et voila!

Walk like an Egyptian

I have recently discovered the wonders of Egypt and Tim Holtz's alcohol inks so I thought I'd try them both together. I made this fat book page using Adirondack ink dabbers on the background and added an Egyptian stamped image on alcohol inked gloss paper. For once I was quite impressed with my own efforts!!
