I know chickens aren’t particularly synonymous with Autumn but I came across an old die that I hadn’t used in ages, and thought him soooo very cute that I just had to use him!  I also thought I could get away with using the colours for our September Fiskarette Focus and add an Autumnal theme [...]

Remember I am making ATC’s to put together on a canvas?  Its been a while since I did an ATC and thought that the September Fiskarette Focus of the Everywhere Window Punch, and the theme of Autumnal was an ideal combination for a little ATC.  Love that little Tree Lever Punch too… Fiskars Products Used: [...]

I’ve made a card today using some Cath Kidston card that I have had for ages.  Thought it was about time I started using it!   The ‘Celebrate’ theme ties in with our July/August theme of  ‘Celebration’ and ‘Summer’.  Last day of the month today though so tomorrow we will be onto a new theme and [...]

I had great fun making this tag and using Distress Inks and a clear embossing resist technique.  Using the Distress Inks to watercolour gives a great effect and you can create many different shades from the one pad. Using the clear embossing powder on a stamped image isn’t a new technique at all, but its [...]

Guess where I have been the past few days??  By the sea!  And with our July/August Fiskarette Theme of  ‘Summer’ in mind here, I have made a summery tag! Lovely Distress Ink was used to colour the manilla tag to give the effect of a bead and sea/sky.  I actually coloured the whole tag in [...]

This is a large ring binder, slightly bigger than 12×12, so quite daunting to decorate!  And equally as awkward to photograph! I had originally decorated this in a very simple style for Scrapbook Inspirations magazine (remember that one?!), so the paper on the cover was already there but I took off some dangly bits on [...]
