About Me

I have been crafting since May 2008, when in desperation to find an unusual birthday card for my Mum, I gave up looking in the shops and decided to have a go at making my own. I soon realised that crafting is addictive and I haven't brought a card since. I am slowly starting to sell my cards now to friends, family and work colleagues. As my confidence has grown I have started to enter Challenges on line and in magazines, and I love having to think outside of my comfort zone to come up with something different. I really like the current trend for vintage and shabby chic. I really enjoy using die cutting in my designs and am just starting to poke my toe in the water with regards to stamping and colouring my own images.

P is for Pussy cats and Puppy dogs


Over at http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ the theme for this weeks Christmas card is P is for penguins or anything else beginning with P. So far I have done penguins, polar bears, puddings, poinsettias and post boxes, now I turn my attention to the cute factor with pussy cats and puppy dogs.


Again the cards are part of my charity recycling project and have been made from pre loved Christmas cards donated by work colleagues with the addition of some freebie backing papers and bits from my scrap box.

I love the combination of red with grey and silver so when I saw the DL card with these four adorable characters on I knew that I could trim the card front to just the image to create this cute and cuddly topper for a card. Again the backing is the printed inside of another card and the sentiment is silver on white so doesn't show to it's best advantage in the picture. I added some lines of stickles to make the snow sparkle and here we are P is for Pussy cats.


Moving on this little fellow had the perfect sentiment already printed with 'Santa Paws is coming to town' I created a background by cutting hexagons from scraps of paper and mirror card using sizzix dies and my bigshot.

I am entering both cards into the following challenges
