I made a word book for my mum for Mother's Day, so now she has got it, I can blog it!! I used a Funky Hands CD for the letters and some papers, and others were from Funky Fairys Papercrafts, plus an assortment of my cute stamps which I know she likes and embellishments.
The challenge on Christmas Cards All Year Round this month is to make 5 cards using mostly green and to include leaves. I used Elusive Images stamps for the top 3 cards, and a Personal Impressions holly leaf stamp for the bottom two. So that's another 5 to add to the pile ready for Christmas!

I also used my Slice to cut the black flowers and little leafy bits and Heidi Grace stamps for the swirls.
The challenge on Penny Black Saturday this week is to use a sketch, and the theme on Colour Create is to use Red and Green.

I am married with 3 grown up children ,4 grandchildren and 2 dogs! I have always done crafting of some sort, originally knitting, cross stitching and tapestry, then I began paper crafting some years ago and haven't looked back!
I like to take photos of my garden for scrapbooking and the one on here is a sunflower that the birds kindly planted for me!
P.S. - Now I have gone back to doing a lot of knitting, crocheting and sewing too!
