With a haul like this.... It must mean it's exhibition day! 💜💜

It's been more than a year since I've posted on this page... Oops! We've had a VERY busy year and my feet haven't really touched the ground. But today's been lovely just being able to wander in my happy place - even if the bank account was creaking!

I'm rubbish as keeping up with social media and throw a new baby into that, with a 5 year old and two other 'jobs' amongst many other things it's a balancing act! That said I haven't been doing nothing and I'll be sharing some of the fabulous makes and commissions I've done over the last few months!

Now to find a home for this little lot!
Mission ''Christmas'' is GO!

Simple yet effective

This is my first go with stencilling and using distress oxide.... and I'm quite pleased

It's not perfect but that just means an excuse to practice more!

This was one of the new techniques I decided to delve into after the craft show last weekend! I've still got lots of glitter and fabric projects to try out too!!

Any sentiment can be added to any card so if you've got something in mind just let me know your ideas and we can come up with the perfect card for you!

I have a confession.... my summer did not go to plan!!

I severely overestimated my ability to keep 2 business going, and another unpaid role, at the same time as keeping a lively 4 year old entertained!

But now school has started I'm back to it!

The website is now up and running ... woop! I just need to add more products before I reveal it, and although I didn't get much done this past 8 weeks I have had a go at working with vinyl and I'm now stuck between Papercraft and vinyl as being my favourite!

But Papercraft will win for now as look at the first of my Christmas deliveries! I'm not the traditional red gold and green type or person... I love modern colours for seasonal things and this is just some of this week's arrivals!

I'm thinking more purples and maybe a pink glitter will really make some beautiful snowflakes this winter!

Spring may be long behind us, but in our garden we lack summer flowers so it's lovely to go back to photos of the spring!

Weve got black, purple and pink tulips in our garden - and of course the black are my favourites but I also love this little pink layered tulip!!

This is in a 10x10 frame but can be made bigger and I also like the idea of using multiple blooms for a bigger image!

Simple yet so effective!!
(And it's a bit more technical to put together then it looks!)

I'd never normally choose a colour palette like this but it think it works beautifully! (And of course I snuck in the gold shimmer paper I'm in love with!)

I think it would also look stunning in pastels or even brights!! What do you think??

If you like any of my products but think ''ooo I'd just change that'' or ''id like to add ...'' then just drop me a message - anyhting can be adapted to suit your preference!

Another set of thank you cards that went to my little ones Pre-School this week!

I made them in various colour themes and he chose which member of staff would like which!

These are so simple, yet really effective and can be made in any colour theme you choose!

We're celebrating my Grans 94th birthday today!

Sadly her memory now means she would never remember to water fresh flowers but she's always loved her garden so these paper wild roses are perfect!!

A simple card will be perfect for her as well in her favourite colours!

Cards like this can be done for any age in any colour scheme starting from as little as a £1!!

I'm still developing the paper flowers but lots of designs are coming .... And this will extend into event decor as well!!

The good news is I've sorted the website gremlins and as soon as ive got the products loaded we will be ready to launch! It will be THIS WEEK!!!

Today we say thank you!

It's my little ones last day at preschool and here's a sneak peak at another couple of makes!

Once all the cards and gifts have been received I'll be sharing all my makes from this week and yes, they will all be available on the website!

(Which is nearly there I promise!)

As busy as a bee this morning!!

I've been making end of year gifts for my little ones pre school leaders and these are just two of my makes!

(I know the recipients don't follow me yet so it's safe to share in advance!)

These will be going on the website as well as bigger versions too! I usually avoid this colour pallete but I've actually really enjoyed putting these together .... A perfect opportunity for glitter and shimmer papers!

My little friends from last week have made some new friends of their own!

These will be avaialable in various colour theme packs that you can choose from or opt for a multipak if you can't decide!

A few more teething problems with the sales platform but the website will be up and running soon!
