on a roll

Recently I have been making more cards - especially following the arrival of new stamps etc. Special card was needed for my Mum's 70th birthday which was friday. So I set to work with Lily of the Valley stamps, basic grey papers and copic ciao markers. The above is the front...then i went to work to create something rather nice when it was opened up. All enjoyable and pleased with the finished result. Oh and have just found a really nice stamp up for grabs on Janes Lovely cards Blog *fingers crossed*.

new arrivals

No not babies ! The arrival of some new crafty things...today a couple of Tim Holtz swirly dies and some new copics in pastel shades. Now to find the right stamps to experiment with. The dies work wonderfully well with the cuttlebug, though when I first saw them I did have my doubts.

Randomness

It felt the right time - not a new years resolution, just a place to put down my thoughts whenever I feel the urge. Having an odd mixed bag of interests, expect posts on archaeology, crafting (I just love all sorts of coloured bits of paper, ribbons and glitter) and gaming - yes gaming! The online variety...for in my spare time I am an elven leader of a warband that goes smiting across the lands of Middle Earth. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings online has much to answer for!
