Hi, welcome to my little crafty place on the web! I,ve been crafting one way or another all my life, and card making for the last 8 years and am now totally hooked! I live with my husband of 32 years, Robert and two children, Claire, 24 and Andy, 21. I am a primary school teacher and currently teach 6 year olds.

A Glamorous Birthday

Loved this image and thought it was perfect for a girlie 50th Birthday!
Been really busy this week getting ready for a Fayre last Saturday, but whether it was because of the weather or tennis, whatever, it wasn't busy, a bit of a disappointment.
Andy's Graduation was yesterday, we had a great day even though the weather was awful. I'll post pictures when I'm more organised.
Off to Canada tomorrow, can't wait!
See you all soon! x

Film Buff Cards

Today's cards are commissions for Phantom and Twilight fans. I cut out the piano keys and stuck them on individually, but next time I'd just cut one piece of card and draw thin black lines down it for the keys!
I cannot believe how hard the rain is coming down just now - June? More like February!

Silver Wedding Card

Today's card is a commission for a couple who like cats and work with figures, hence the numbers tumbling downthe sides! Thought I'd make some bunting as it's very "in" just now! The lady also plays the piano, so inside I printed some music from the number 1 song when they got married!

Oskar's Naming Day

A card for my friend's little grandson, Oskar's naming day in Sweden next week. She cried when she read the verse inside!

May beauty delight you and happiness uplift you,



May wonder fulfill you and love surround you.


May your step be steady and your arm be strong,


May your heart be peaceful and your word be true.


May you seek to learn, may you learn to live.


May you live to love, and may you love - always.
