Recently I went through a bag with all sorts of matching papers. I decided to take it apart and file the papers according to colour into my stash. However it also had a lot of pretty pattern scrap coming with it: just strips, squares and circles. I can’t bring...

It’s been a while that I have been blogging, but my plans to be finished with creating and writing all my Christmas cards by 1.12.2014 as well as having all gifts wrapped and ready to go was simply not happening. I can’t say that I was lazy, the opposite,...

Gee, I can’t believe it’s almost a month since my last post! Well, a big change and socializing have taken it’s toll on writing blog posts. So, the big change is, that I have gone back into full-time employment. I have made the decision to get more...

In the last two weeks I have used my prints from my colour session. I used up all the prints except the music notes, which just didn’t turn out. I think I have surprised myself – usually I am getting bored after a couple of cards and the rest gets stored...
