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.

Spring into Easter at Ooh La La Creations

Hello everyone out there in blog land.
Once again we had some wonderful entries for the 'She's in Fashion Challenge' to see if you made the top three check out the Ooh La La Creations Challenge Blog

The challenge for the next fortnight has the focus firmly on the season as it is 

Spring or Easter

I have used the Shoes in Bloom CD to create this seasonal card.


Nothing heralds the arrival of Spring quite like Daffodils so when I found this gorgeous waterfall mechanism on the CD I just had to use it. I used the matching backing papers from the CD and added a pretty yellow and bright green satin ribbon.

I finished off by cutting the word 'Spring' out of a metallic satin card, and added some paper clay flowers and pearl stick pins.


Any of you are fans of Ooh La La CD's will be pleased to know that there will be a new one out very soon. It will be launched on Create and Craft TV on Tuesday 7th of April but you can pre order yours now by clicking on the image below

Latest CD out 7 April

Having had the CD to work with to prepare samples for the launch show I have to say the images from Paula Oakley are amazing and there is something for everyone and every occasion on the CD.
