12 Tags of 2015 – March
My French studies continue to consume most of my time, but I finally took time out over the weekend to get inky and create my March tag. I love love love the background of Tim’s March 12 tags of 2015. It’s so bright and the distress paint gives such a gorgeous deep colour. It inspired me to go bold with my colour palette and I…

B is for Balloon
Hello. Just a quick post to share a birthday card that I made for my Nephew’s first birthday. I meant to post this a week ago, but I went back to school to study French and the first week was a bit hectic. Excuse the poor lighting. Daylight saving time hasn’t begun in Europe yet and it had been a bit grey outside when I…

12 Tags of 2015 – February
Phew! I’m just in time with this months Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015! I’ve just spent 4 wonderfully restful days in the mountains with my DH celebrating 7 years since I moved to Switzerland, and I took some time out to make my tag. My love affair with my sewing machine continues, so I took Tim’s patchwork idea literally. Once I had prepared the…

Blueprint Cards
A really quick post to share some watercolour cards I’ve been making using the limited edition stamptember blueprint stamps by Tim Holtz. I LOVE the blueprint stamps! Not least of all because the designs are really cool, but also because they are just the best thing in the world to colour in. Who doesn’t like a bit of colouring in?! The blueprints are stamped onto…

Love Distress
Yesterday I sat down to work on a final Valentines project and I made this card while waiting for various parts of the other project to dry. I know the stitching is not going to win any awards, but given that this time last year I couldn’t use a sewing machine… it’s progress. I still haven’t mastered “tension” and I think my machine probably needs…

Be My Valentine?
Hello. Thanks very much for the kind comments on my blog. It’s so much fun connecting with such a fantastic community of shopaholics crafters! 😉 Today I wanted to share a Valentine’s card I made. I decided at the beginning of the year not to pack away my festive dies, but rather to alter them for use in projects throughout the year. This time I…

12 Months of Distress – January
Oh Cracked Pistachio… I think I love you… My postman arrived with the much anticipated first new distress colour of the “12 months of distress.” Having a new colour each month is so exciting, it’s like having a year long advent calendar. I could not wait to break into the cracked pistachio and try it out. I made a tag using various cracked pistachio distress…

Love is… my postman
Hello. Thank you for the lovely comments left on my blog, I really appreciate it. It has been an exciting week with new craft products arriving. I was just getting my new Windsor and Newton watercolour set wet when the postman knocked. I suspect our postman thinks I am a little bit nuts. The Swiss are quite conservative, so my running towards the postman waving,…
