About Me

My photo
Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom
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. In 2011 I completed my certificate in papercrafting as a result of the work I did as part of the course I started entering challenges on line and in magazines. I applied for design teams and also started making samples for Ooh La La Creations for their shows on Create and Craft. I have now completed my Diploma in professional crafting and most recently been runner up in the Papercrafter of the Year 2013 a competition run by Papercraft essentials magazine, I don't have a particular style I like to use elements from lots of styles and techniques, although I do love all things vintage. In 2014 I started to move more towards scrapbooking to take care of the huge family archive of photographs that were stored in my attic. I have continued cardmaking and Scrapbooking through 2015 and 2016 but have also become interested in off the page projects. I hope to be able focus on these in the future.

Let it Snow

I know I was really glad to see the back of the snow outside my front door but the white stuff is still very much a feature in my charity card project. Here's one I cam up with last night it everything is recycled from the cards donated by work colleagues, except the die cut snowflake at the top left, which was from my stash I have a box full which have been cut from scraps of white card left over from other projects and when I want one I just grab it and glitter it as required.


I am entering this into the following challenges

    You made a very nice Christmas card. Love the details and how they all work together so well. I had no idea until I read that it was a recycle job. Way to recycle!
