Anime???

So after boring everyone, I thought I'd show a quick card that I made for a lovely lady recently, whose son was turning 21!!

An age I didn't want to leave behind me!! ;) But it's true what they say, the older you get the faster the years go by! lol...and I'm still only in my 20's

Past present and Future!!


Here is an example of past present and future. As a child what was your dream ambition??

 Of course they are never realistic, but he wanted to be a superhero!! 

All these are digis from kenny k!! So I coloured the superhero red blue and yellow like superman..and the green is supposed to be the incredible hulk lol!! Of course this digi had a cape, so rather than delete it, (which can be seen as tampering with an image) I simply coloured the background yellow to make it look like he was going at speed!!

Then going on along the future theme, he is now a lover of ice hockey, so this is where the anime character comes in to context!

The papers are my minds eye. bright and vibrant. They are actually from the stomp (dinosaur range). 

I have then  used a Tim Holtz embossing folder with clocks along the background to indicate time..

Let me know what you think!! 

I hope to post another blog in the next few days..but please don't hold your breath!! hahaa 

Take care for now xx




Failure- is giving up!! keep trying and you can't fail!!

Evening everyone!!

I'm sure many of you had given up on me even posting on here again! lol..I nearly never did! It's taken me over half an hour just to remember my logon!! oopsiessss! ha

Thought I would just quickly pop on and give you an update in the life of me. And show a quick card that I made for an order recently. I also need to visit the docrafts site more often!! Just everyone keeps me busy! ;) lol.

Anyways, what's been going on with me just lately?? :-

I feel I should take more pics of step by step this will happen!! Just be patient with me..as many of you know me and technology are not the best of friends! So, a lot has happened recently, and some not so recent. I split with my partner of 3 years 5 months ago (yes that's how long ago, I haven't visited)! At the time, it was the worst feeling ever, the real feeling of rejection and the fact that his family was a huge part of my life. We agreed to stay friends, but unfortunately, things don't always work out the way you planned! Anyway, I've not popped on to give anyone a bad name. Things happen for a reason, he is incredibly happy with his new partner and I am enjoying being on my own for now!

Things have happened, that I do not need to go into detail about which has made me realise how incredibly short and precious life is. I posted a while back about doing driving lessons. I was hoping I'd have passed by now, but me being me lacking in confidence and 8 months in only just booked my theory test for fear of failure. But guess what??? I passed first time!! The sense of relief was so overwhelming!...Now the practical is booked, but of course I'm keeping the date to myself in case I do fail..But as the heading suggests, (you never really fail until you give up), so if I do, I'll just book again until I do pass.

My skin condition has not flared up for a while either. It's been brought on by stress, but so far so good fingers crossed!

Staying along the positive, my cards have now grown even more. Customers are recommending me to friends, so it is all going well! I hope to put some in a local shop, and I am taking on big orders of wedding invitations.  I love it!!!


Hope everyone is well! xx
