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.

I used Dance, Love, Sing Live from Stampart by Kathryne


I kept the design really simple and printed off this pretty backing paper from the music and dreams CD from their recent Anniversary Collection. I mounted this onto black mirror card and then  I used Tattered Lace dies to cut the oval frame, the flowers and the tiny butterflies from teh left over black mirror card. I added a Pearl Swirl, and pearl centres to the flowers.

I am entering this into the following challenge

    Such an elegant card and one of my favourite inspirational quotes, I have it on a very old Penny Black stamp and use it over and again.
