I have been asked many times from where do I get the inspiration for my scrapbooking. My reply is “from Everywhere”, but I do gain a lot of crafting inspiration from other peoples work and I find most of that by browsing the internet!
The next question is usually something like “how do you remember the [...]
Well, it’s official… ScrapBuddies, my Scrapbooking group, at which I give demos and workshops and generally help members with their own Scrapbooking projects, is moving home!
The venue for the last three years has been at the Village Hall at Ditchingham, but as of April this year it is moving into my Tearooms on Tuesday evenings.
So Every [...]
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been playing with the papers and stamps from the Nook & Pantry collection by Basic Grey.
In the stamp set for the cupcakes, you build the cupcake with separate stamps. For instance the image on this card is made up from a cupcake case, then I added [...]
I realise I took the picture of this in it cellophane wrapper, but I thought I’d share one of the first cards I have made with the Nook and Pantry Basic Grey) set of stamps my mumbought me for Christmas.
No, I haven’t taken this long to get them out, I only received the gift mid [...]
I reaslise that it’s a week later, but here is the photograph of the Valentines card I made for my husband.
As my other half likes chocolate so much (but is currently trying to abstain) I tend to go for a chocolate theme for valentines day and hence the colours here.

I am often asked how I achieve the “distressed” look to paper edges on my scrapbook layouts and cards… something I do quite a bit, especially on Vintage style things, (layouts and cards).
So I thought it would be a good idea to make a video for you, showing exactly how I crumple, fold and rip [...]
Here is the latest card I made using the free downloable/printable vintage style pictures from Heidi.
It’s a quick Birthday Card and was simply made using the card base, a piece of Laura Ashley paper (crumpled at the edges), a piece of lace ribbon tied in the middle with sheer ribbon and a little metal fancy [...]
I made this card as a Thank You Card for a lady that doesn’t really do lacy and fru-fru! Tried to keep it simple with the image (lovely soft mood to the picture don’t you think?) doing most of the work.
I have found making cards “around” a photographic image much easier than creating something from [...]
As promised here is the set of four more traditional Christmas cards. They are the usual red and green style.
Again I’ve used flocked paper from Laura Ashley (Dovecraft sell the range) ton the two outer cards, the background paper on the third from left is Basic Grey “Boxer” 6×6 pad, hence the need for a [...]
