I made these little pockets. I got the pattern from the internet and then made my own version. It is sometimes called the nappy fold ... used old text for the flowers and vintage buttons again.Imagination is your only limit to what can be achieved with this. xx
An 18th card..glitzy... and glorious.
I made this card for my mum. I wanted something different. um loved it. The colour combination was bold and beautiful xx
I don't duplicate cards but this is a variation of the theme. i loved the pink ribbon and the wooden Eiffel tower which I covered in Distress embossing powder...the lace I dyed with Distress stain. The corset is a stamp . This card took a while to make but I enjoyed the result.
this card was fun to make. this stamp was a present ..a friend bought it off e-bay and thought it was "just me" lol. the clip is a suspender belt clip ...very french
this card is very elegant. it is actually not in the collage theme which i usually do . i was pleased with the result .
this card was made to match the invite to the wedding that was received by my friend. she wanted the reply to  match ....this is a tim holtz die and it is a very versatile one. i use it often but always in a different colour scheme and try to vary what i do with it.
i really loved making this card. the gentleman was retiring from the agriculture area....it was rustic and the cardboard and hession was a great embellishment.
these flowers were made from the pages of old text..very delicate to work with but fashioned with vintage buttons ..this came up very well.
these colours work well for a masculine card ...
Hi there Bloggers, 

i am lucky enough to sell my cards to my friends to cover my costs. I have a few people who regularly  support me. This card is an engagement card for a friend. I hope she is happy with it. Let me know what you think xx

This is a picture of myself taken by my clever teenager Tom, I said take a good one and well i am very happy with the result. I would love if Tom became savvy behind the lens and saw things from a creative perspective. Tom is very scientific but it seems he is quite good with the camera..maybe he could combine the both xx love you babe. (Tom is my strict censor.. very honest and has a keen eye. ) xx
I love the earthy elements I have included in this card. The tissue, jute, old penny and all the distressed look of a bygone era. This is another of my cards I have published.

My son turned 15 recently. I wanted to try adhesive metal foil...i am pleased with this for my first attempt. I have lots of ideas how to use this marvelous , versatile product. My cards always have a metal element of some sort on them. I am inspired by the silver balls in Adelaide's Rundle Mall...Ii researched this sculpture in Art at school...a long time ago.. Metal  rocks my world xx
