Another scrapbook page after a couple of years....


Its a reflection of my life and living conditions (because of work my husband who is my best friend) and I live apart. It is a tale of how you just make the most of what you have and the time we have together.

more flamingoes!


I couldn't resist making another flamingo card (especially as I'd already coloured the flamingos), and so i combined with a lot of scraps from my desk to make this. It also fits the 'Anything Goes' Wednesday challenge on Simon Says Stamp (well anything would!)

flamingoes!!!


I love birds... all birds... and so this cute flamingo set from Lawn Fawn was an absolute must! The puns are pretty good too! The feathers from 'dream' have the most subtle colouring in R0000

sun, sea and grass skirts


I have learnt that die cutting then stamping an image is not the way around I can naturally work... I've also learnt that RV04 is much brighter than I think.

I've coloured my polynesian dancer inspired by Sandy Allnock's #thehumanrainbow colourings

felt like a cupcake


Both the Monday and Wednesday Challenges on Simon Says Stamp this week were all about felt... and so I sewed myself a lavender bag, decorating my cute paper smooches cupcake with plenty of pretty pink posh sequins.

reduce, reuse, recycle


I was always taught to never throw anything away that could be reused. This lavender bag is made from a pillow case that was passed its best, but now it is pretty and useful!

case this sketch #171


So I finally managed to get my hands on issue 149 of Simply Cards and Papercrafts with the free gift of Altenew roses. I've looked at this style of stamp for a while and this was a way for me to play with them, and I have to say the full set is now on my wish list for when it is back in stock.


I finished my roses by using the Case this Sketch #171 as inspiration. Simple card.

the birds of sympathy


I hate making sympathy cards, but following on from this idea, this card came together really easily, and now I have one ready should I unfortunately need it.
