Double pocket card
Thursday, July 24th, 2008I am having a class tomorrow making these double pocket cards and I wanted to use really bold colours that are out of my comfort zone.

Friday, July 18th, 2008I am a day late here, but our server was down yesterday so I couldn’t get on the blog to wish Martin (otherwise known as DH) a BIG happy 39th birthday!! 39 is such a big year, the last year of saying you are 30 something and of facing your 40’s. I remember going to my first 30th [...]
Ticket corner tutorial
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008I have received a few emails asking me how to create ticket corners so that they are nice an even in shape, even if you don’t have ticket corner punch (which I don’t). As it is really simple to do, I thought I would show you how!

So I thought I would scrap a layout [...]

Monday, July 7th, 2008Phew! That is a mouthful for a title isn’t it! When I first saw this set, I just could not make up my mind about it – but then this gorgeous card in choc chip and pumpkin pie, by Makeesha convinced me that I really did need it! (thanks Keesh!)
It has been however, one of those [...]
