Welcome to my blog!

From x stitch I moved into card making - now I am playing around with mixed media! I am taking part in different workshops and with help from crafty pals, learning about different mediums and techniques. Hope you feel inspired to create after a visit to my blog - Happy Crafting!

Autumn Leaves and trying to be more organised!

I decided to tidy my craft room yesterday as there were piles of stuff everywhere and I couldn't find anything - there was no desk in sight because of all the stuff!

It took a while but finally it's looking ok!


I bought some storage ( 3 for 2! )


I put my sign up for the craft room :)


and put all my art journal stuff into the caddy I got at craftathon this year - now I can just take the whole thing into another room and work on it!

I made this card for a challenge on the crafting forum - I took it into work to sell for retired greyhounds and it sold the same day!


I used my stamp around the page set and my leaves I picked up in a bargain bucket!

Hope your weekend is starting off well!


I am entering this card into the following challenges;

Sweet Stampin Challenge -  Wood, Trees or Leaves
Sister Act Card Challenge -  Linky Party

Dog of the Week

Can anyone offer a home for the lovely Ricky?


Sadly Ricky has come back into Kennels after being homed for a short period of time - we would stress however that his return was not due to any problems caused by him - whilst Ricky was within a home he was clean - asked to go out to the toilet and was well behaved

Ricky is a boy with a quiet loving nature who last raced in December 2012 having had 114 races

Ricky has been castrated had his dental check etc and is ready to go to a new home - he has not been tested with domestic dogs or cats


If you can offer this lovely boy a home please visit here
