About Me

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.

Bundle of Joy

This week at CD Sunday the challenge theme is Bundle of Joy. I came up with this.


I used two different Ooh La La Creations CDs to create this one. The image and the building blocks panel are from the 'Kidiwinks' and the spots and stripes backing papers and the bunting, tiny bows and 'little one' tag are from the 'Everyday Occasions' CD.

I added a doily, congratulations backing paper, die cut flourishes, silver peel off borders and corners, a teddy bear button ( actually it's two buttons I snipped the shank off the back of the teddy bear button and stuck him to a flat blue button), card candi, ribbon and lots of pearls - flat backed strings and painted ones- 


I decorated the inside of the card using the spots and stripes papers and I even made up a verse before adding a little wooden comforter which I had coloured with stickles distress glitter in baby blue - well what other colour could I have possibly used?

I am entering this card in the following challenges
