About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

My eyes and hands are bad so I have just made 2 very simple tags to go on boxes of chocolates  to give to the eye hospital staff where I have my eye injections.  They have been so good to me.
I stamped on both and added star rhinestones and ribbon.

I would like to add my tags to the following:

Not Just Cards - anything goes - last challenge

 Not Just Cards (cards also welcome) - anything goes
http://notjustcardschallenges.blogspot.com/

Sadly this is the last challenge for Not Just Cards
I have enjoyed being on the design team since June 2015 and have seen members come and go and I wish them all well.

I wanted to make a special journal page for this last challenge but my eyes have been worse and I am having problems seeing.   Also I a ran out of time.  I had a day out with my eldest daughter yesterday (Wednesday).  It is the first time I have been out this year except for medical appointments and eye operations.  I really enjoyed it but I am worn out today (Thursday).


I printed out Ching-Chou Kuik digi stamp grey scale Winter Warmth which is part of the Winter Spirit Grey scale Set coloured it with chalks and markers, added We are 3 sentiment from Happy Christmas sentiment set then scanned it and reduced it down to print to fit on my card.
Layered onto green card which I embossed with Cuttlebug folder from the Winter Wonderland set
Added ribbon and layered all onto red card.

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in our last challenge.

I would like to add my card to the following:

Outlawz progressive freebie challenge for October

Each month a different designer gives a free digi stamp for us to use for the Outlawz Progressive Freebie challenge.
http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/freebie-progressive-challenge/forum/topics/progressive-challenge-october-2020

If you haven't already joined in you can join the challenge and send an email requesting the image, make a project for the challenge and then you will receive the free image next month.

This month Oddball Art has provided two images one cute and one creepy - Sugar the Zombie

I have embossed a bright orange card with Sissex embossing folder (my scanner didn't scan the colour correctly, the card is a similar colour to the ribbon, but brighter)
Added strips of orange paper from My Minds Eye - Stella Rose Mabel papers 6x6 pad
Added orange ribbon
Embossed another piece of orange card with the Sissex embossing folder
Printed Oddball Art digi stamp Sugar the Zombie (cute version), coloured with orange and yellow markers and cut out and layered on top.  Coloured heart from stamp with orange marker and punched out with circle punch.
Stamped Best wishes with orange stamp pad and punched out with circle punch.  Layered circles on top.

I followed the sketch at Cuttlebug Mania so I would like to add my card to that challenge
