About Me

My photo
Perth, Perthshire, United Kingdom
Welcome to my little corner of the World! I live in Perthshire Scotland with my wonderful husband Eric. We have a daughter, Corinne who is married to Rob and lives in New Zealand, with their boys Harrison and twins Hadley and Dylan. Marie who has a wee boy Jackson, and Greg and his wife Kim, their wee girl Freya, even smaller baby boy Freddie and dog Buddy. I am happy when I am in my craft room, and I love making cards for Charity and also for commissions. I love scrapbooking, and I get my inspiration from my Grandchildren. They are the subjects in most of my Scrapbooking layouts. I have just started to do Mixed Media work, and I am loving it!! I have just started a craft group at our local Church centre, aptly called Saints and Scissors Club! If you can't find me, I will be in my craft room, buried under tons of stash lol!

Crafty Catz Challenge 27th September 2024

 Hello again1

I'm back with another challenge from CraftyCatz  This time, there is no sponsor and it is just for fun.  The theme, however, is to use a stencil.


I have just sorted out my stencils and quickly picked one by Clarity Cards.  As it is Autumn, I used Autumn colours and added a man fighting to keep his umbrella under control, and a wee bird, watching him!!!




I used Distress Oxide Inks in the following colours - Ripe Persimmon, Bundled Sage, Shabby Shutters and Fossilized Amber


Very simple card, which looks darker in the photo than it is in real life, and I will add an appropriate sentiment when the time comes to use it.


Please join us over at Crafty Catz weekly challenge.blogspot.com/ 

I'm going now, but I'll be back soon!!

Hello once again, from a cold corner in Perthshire.   Oh I wish the winter was away!!  I hate this cold weather.  I love seeing the snowdrops and daffodils all popping up in the garden, promising that spring is on the way.

Becky has a real mixture of digital stamps.  Some are really amusing and others are beautiful, like the one I chose, and used on my card.




The theme this fortnight is to use more than one fold.  I made an Easel card, which has 2 folds!!

Why Don't you go to look at  beautiful array of stamps at Becky's Place?

Craftycatz Challenge February 9th 2024

Hello again from a sunny but cold Perthshire.  I wish the winter was over, I hate the cold.  

All the bulbs are coming through in the garden though, so Spring is on the way. 

This week, in Crafty Catz Blog world, we are sponsored by

The card I am using is called Valentine and I think it is super.  I have used it as a Valentine's card, but I can see myself using it for other things too.


I will be giving this card to my husband of 22 years. 
 We don't really do presents,  but we do swap cards.

Have you got a card for your nearest and dearest yet?  This digital download would be wonderful, don't you think?  I think the rest of the design team has made some wonderful cards too.  It is worth looking at the blog to see them
