Red Shoes

Hi there, I am taking a little detour from sharing Christmas cards and showing the card that I made for my daughter's birthday.
My daughter loves her shoes, I am pretty sure she has a red pair and lots of heels, so when I found the stamp set I knew I wanted it for her card.


On the inside I have used the Karen Burniston gift pivot panel, crosshatch rectangles and the Paper Rose Happy Birthday dies.

Blue Christmas

Here is another Christmas card that I have sent out. It had the Karen Burniston Merry Christmas, trees from the evergreen pivot panel set.


On the inside I have used the evergreen pivot panel and the cross hatch rectangles.
I have added some deer from a deer border from Crafts4U.

I have to say it wasn't until I was glued this card together that I noticed a mistake. I have my dies in plastic sleeves and while I had the evergreen pivot picture on the front I didn't notice that inside was 2 pivot dies, I obviously put one away incorrectly last time. So the pivot panels on this card and the one other day are made from the house pivot panel. Just incase you are wondering which one works best, well I found out that they are interchangeable and they both work.

Follow the Golden Star

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope everyone has had a great day of celebrations.



While I Santa seems to be the star these days, I am having thoughts of my childhood lessons of the reason we celebrate Christmas. Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. My card today is my with die cuts from Crafts4U.

For whatever reason you celebrate today or even other day, remember your loved ones, family and friends.

Take Care

I spy Santa

Today is the last 2019 challenge with for the CCEE Stampers. As part of the design team I would like to thank everyone for their support. We are taking a short break and will be back January 2nd 2020.

For this last challenge, we are asked to create a card which has a window. It will then be our choice on whether you want to be peeking IN on Santa or peeking OUT at Santa.



For my card I have used the windows to the world stamps and dies from Art Impressions, and have used a few other dies to create a stone cottage wall.

Christmas Holidays


Today is the second last challenge for 2019 with the Crazy4Challenges design team.
Being that it is a busy time of the year, Hostess Frances is keeping our challenge today fairly simple.

 Use your favorite holiday stamps/dies on your creations. If you don't celebrate Christmas, then use one of your favorite stamps/dies.


I love Penny Black images and always use a few each year, I also love this pull card die designed by Karen Burniston (retired from her ECD days) My sentiment and banner are from Lawn Fawn one of my favourite companies this year.
