About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Junk Journaling too. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Art Journaling, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing, but am plagued by a bad back. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I guess I am officially retired now. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

Carshalton Crafts - Demo

Carshalton Crafts hosted a demo session yesterday so I went along. They were showing the versatility of die cuts to create some great cards. I especially loved the geometric shaped background mat and how you can cut into the dies to use them differently.





These are the 2 cards from the demonstration and I just had to get the Marieanne flower die to add to my ever increasing collection.



I made this black and white card when I got home.

Curious thought is that the pieces of waste from each petal on this die look like teeth to me!! Another use already!

They were having a wood backed stamp sale too so I got the script background stamp too.






Oh and for the record, my son liked my red iris folded card I made the other week so requested a black version for his girlfriend. He chose how to add the gems too.
