For anyone who doesn't visit my facebook card page and see what I do, I thought I would really quickly post a few pictures of my latest card orders. I will revisit and blog about each one individually when I get the chance. I just have the rather fun task of plucking my eyebrows, so I will look like a tearful snotty mess when I have finished. Does plucking your eyebrows make your eyes water and give you the serious snuffles, or is it just me?! lol

Bet with comments like that, you are all wondering why you joined my blog hehe!...Lets just say, I'm not the most prude person of all and I will say what I am thinking at the time. Which you will either find funny or irritating?! You decide! ********

Anyways here are the pics:- feel free to take a peek and maybe place an order via my email address or my facebook page. Any orders welcome. EYEBROWS THEN FIFTY AWAITS! ;)


sorry peeps, My blog won't let me for some reason. Will try again tomorrow xx

Digi stamps have always been a horror for me. As i have previously mentioned me and technology is not great at the best of times.

For those of you who don't know digi stamps are an innovative new way of crafting. Rather than stamping using rubber, clear or wooden stamps you can order an image online pay like you would any other product, then print out from your printer. There are several advantages to digital stamping:-


  1. you can save money by only having to buy the image rather than inks and acrylic blocks,- obviously just purchasing the colour medium to fill the image in. My item of choice being promarkers
  2. you don't have to wait for an image to be delivered, If you want a design for a last minute order they email you the link and you download the image immediately.
  3. Meaning no postage costs.
  4. If storage is an issue digital images are a fab alternative. They are stored on your hard drive so taking no space in your room whatsoever.

The only disadvantage is that I enjoy stamping with inks its the feel of the stamps, getting really inky fingers-that's the fun of crafting. So I just have a variety of both digi, rubber and clear stamps.


Here is my first attempt using a digi stamp:-

I got an order for a lady at work who was celebrating, her life begins at 40, birthday. I was looking for an interesting image with a cocktail glass and stumbled across this:



This digi was perfect. The only downside to the image is that I coloured it in on 160gsm card which wasn't thick enough for the promarkers to be used so the promarkers bled a little, lesson learnt! x I added a quote and printed it off. Tearing one of the papers added another dimension. This torn paper is made using cosmic shimmers spritzed onto white card stock. This adds a glitter effect as well. 














Unsuccessful day

Evening folks,

Yet again, I haven't been updating my blog lately. I just can't seem to get the hang of it. How do I put links at the side to go to other pages I visit, challenges I take part in?! I'm lost haha!!!

Yesterday was a gorgeous day, the sun was shining and the birds singing, was way too hot and I took my coat to work, typical!! Today has been the exact opposite, miserable, wet and windy. Was stuck indoors doing absolutely nothing, my own fault, but just felt so tired, so I have been napping on and off lazy I know-But we all have days like that! don't we :). Otherwise I have been engrossed in the fifty shades series, I only had 3 chapters to finish on the second book, so I was on a mission to finish it. I don' think it's worth all the hype but now I've started I have to finish all the books. Oh my ;).

I apologise for the lack of blogs but I have all of a sudden been bombarded with card orders, which is fab, means all my hard work is finally paying off. Only trouble is I can't stop spending! My order from create and craft arrived today holographic black and silver card it was on offer, so I defeated the object and ordered two. It is stunning. I have also ordered some pinwheel bows, card stock and christmas stamps. That's right the dreaded "C" word is finally here! I am determined to get ahead this year as I have always been asked to make my friends wedding invitations. I am so pleased they have faith in me to give them what they want and it's an honour to be doing them. Just can't wait to get all the details and get started. xx

That's all for now Much love xx
