This month's Lindy's Stamp Gang Color Challenge was so much fun, I had no real plan, just a blank page and some brand new sprays! Brand New I hear you ask - yes BRAND NEW - both in colour and kind!!! These are some of the fabulous new Flat Fabio colours designed by Limor Webber, they are gorgeous. The set is called Tres Chic and the colour is suspended in an opaque base, so you can spray them over all... Read more →

The moment that I saw these gorgeous tissue papers from Hazel and Ruby I knew I wanted to use them on a page, so I sat down to play with a few of the newer items in my stash and this is the result - I think it would also make for an excellent 12 x 12 layout. It's only recently that I've 'found' my scrapbooking or photo page 'style' and I owe that all to Louise Nelson! I've mentioned... Read more →

This will be a little unusual for me in that this is a simple idea and it's not just that I think it's a simple idea, but it's actually really easy.

So today I will show you how to make a gorgeous background that I've chosen to use on a... Read more →

So I thought I'd share my library with you all. For the moment this is just a list of the books I... Read more →

The colour palette for the April Lindy's Stamp Gang Color Challenge is very fresh and reminds me of spring, so what better theme than blue birds! While I sometimes find these challenge palettes, well challenging! - this time I had a ball and I used the entire colour palette on this one card and I do love how it looks - let me know what you think about it! This card turned out pretty darn cute if I say so... Read more →

OK so this was one of those faces I drew while watching TV (I do this quite a bit as I'm easily bored and much better entertained while multi-tasking!). This face had several morphs on it's journey, I kept messing with the mouth, hair and nose - but I finally settled on using this for my class with Jane Davenport - Express Yourself and felt brave enough to give my girl a sneer - well that's what I was aiming...
