Magic in the air!


I have another tag for Michele's theme
Gothic Arches/Gothic theme over at

This is another AI image I created.
I cut around the shape and layered up the gold circle and the owl.
I added some gold around the edges and finished with
the two words which I think work well with the wizard image.

Totally out of my happy space here but really enjoyed the theme!
I hope some of you have a go, stretch that knicker elastic!!

It's lovely and sunny outside but there is a bitter cold wind blowing.
We have had so much rain lately the garden is a soggy mess.

Gothic arch/theme


Our new challenge theme over at
has been chosen by the lovely Michele and she wants us to go with
Gothic Arches or Gothic theme.

I was a bit stumped at first as this is not my style at all
and I definitely have nothing gothic related in any of my stamps.
So, I turned to AI and created a gothic arch with a man and an owl!

I printed it off and cut round the arch shape and used that as a guide
for my tag base. I have stamped some script to the base
using Gorgeously Made stamp set,
stuck the arch in place and then used some gold metallic rub-on around
the edges. I found the adventure sentiment in my stash
and added some gold rub-on to it too.

If you need better inspiration than this be sure to check out
Michele's gorgeous examples here!

Spring Tulips!


Happy Monday.
Today I am sharing my midway post for our challenge over at
where the theme is Spring!

We have some great prizes too so great incentive to join us!!


For my card I went with a daffodil delight base.
I matted it with a piece of white card which I ran through
with an embossing folder.
The tulips where stamped using daffodil delight and granny apple green inks
and the tulip heads where raised up.
The sentiment was stamped and fussy cut.

I hope you can come and join us!

We had a dry morning so took a quick drive to Omeath for
a bit of sea air.
Back home by 3 to pouring rain AGAIN!!

Scrappy Friday


My Scrappy Friday video shows how to use up some scraps
by following a sketch with lots of layers.

I found this sketch over at Cheerful Sketches and thought it
would be a great beginner look into using sketches
to use up your lovely designer papers.

You can watch my video here.

I made a St. Patrick's Day card with my scraps
and retired stash.
The stamp set is called Lucky Clover (R).

Have a great weekend everyone ☘

St. Patrick's Day hat!


My tutorial today is an oldie but a goodie.
I had been putting off making these for a few years but
finally caved.
I started off with four for the Grandkids and stupidly left
them on the hall table with their other goodies.



Someone spied them and requested 13!!
So I had to get a little factory line going to get them done lol.
The shamrock punch I have had for years and it is from Woodware.

Rabbit or hare


It's the second week of my theme
bunny or hare
over at

I had a piece of card lying on my desk with that lovely
cut curve at the end so I decided to use it for my tag.
I punched two holes down the length then ran it through
with an embossing folder for some texture.
I raised it up and stuck to the lovely gingham paper.
The bunnies, carrot and butterfly were stamped, coloured
and cut then tucked in to each of the circles.
I finished with a chopped sentiment and a bit of ribbon.

I hope you get time to join in the challenge.
