Second Quarter

Hello All - it has been a while since my last post. I believe that was back in February/March time.

What have I been upto? Well in April I was busy trying to finish the journalling in my December Daily. Also it was my one of my aunts birthday.

By this time I wasn't really in the mood to do any card making. But luckily I have a stash of cards made up already just in case anything like this happens.

My crafting mojo hadn't completely gone. I was and still are enjoying making notebooks. I decided to make one for her in her favourite colours Pink and rose gold, plus she love art deco.
Below is what I made her.

In May I have a few birthdays, the first one is in the first week of the month. I made him a F1 theme card.

The next four I made was for family.  The pink card below is for my another aunt who's birthday is on the 1st of June and the blue one is for her husband my uncle..

The giraffes below was made for my Godmother.

The card below was for a family friend he's more like family. 

I honestly can not take the credit for the card base design that is Sam from mixed up crafts..

Thank you for read my post.

Stay safe

Blessing to you all

Being Swamped

Oh no I was meant to post this on the 19th of February, better late than never..

~~~~~~~

I know in the past I have written about how I need to destash. Well I have literally got to the point where I need to destash. 

Since last year I have been shopping a lot online (like alot of us) for craft and planner stuff. I have been trying to work out why? 

I think I may know why - when I find I'm stressed out or feeling low, depressed. I shop when I'm depressed mainly. 

So I have decided to beat this addiction and beat the depression.. 

How am I doing to do this? 

Well I'm going to do and have started. Craft my way through my stash, if I come across anything I don't like or want anymore. I'll recycle it or see if any my crafty friends would like it. 

So today is 19th of February 2021 and my last order arrived. It was from hobbycraft and all was in my order was this.. 

Over the coming weeks I will post how I am getting on. 

Please wish me luck.

Until next time, stay Safe

New Sizzix Charity Dies

A few weeks ago I had a email from Sizzix, to say about they have new releases on their website.. 

I fought with myself to not have a look, and then I got a email about the new charity dies #donatetomake..

Oh my days I could not resist them. I have been also trying to organise a lockdown swap with a group of crafty friends. Another good reason to order them. Right?

So last week I ordered the two special charity dies and on Tuesday they arrived.. 

Also what comes they them is a Thank you card, I somehow received two of them. 

This is what the Thank you card says. 

So here in the UK the Sizzix charity dies are £10 each. £6 from the sale of each of the two dies will be spilt equally between two charities and they are, Action Against Hunger and  Trussell Trust . I'm thinking each country may have different charity's. I please don't hold me to it either. 

I will be sharing what I do with these dies very soon. Please watch this space.

Hello Everyone!

So sorry I have not posted anything in the last 12 months.

My ipad died in September of last year 2019 and my phone was slowly packing up also. 

I now still do not have a new ipad or laptop... But I do have a new phone, so hopefully I will be posting as and when. I need to get my blogging  mojo back. 

Xbox One Controller Birthday Card and others

In January there was a five birthday's and three of them were male. The first one was on the 8th, he loves video games - I knew he has a Xbox One. I decided to make him the card above. I did not use a die for the controller, instead I drawer and hand cut all the parts of the Xbox controller....

By the way there is a theme going on...

The day after was the next birthday and I totally missed it... I hope he can forgive me?

Next two birthdays was around the 11th and the 15th the first one was for a neighbour and the second one was for a friends teenage daughter. Both cards are below

Last but not lease my brother. He is also a gamer, loves video games, loves his Xbox One and he also loves travelling too. I just knew I had to make him a travel theme controller.

He also loves our dog. We have a Welsh Cardigan Corgi so I could not resist to put a corgi on the card too.


After that I had a few days free - well I thought I did. Then I learnt a friend was leaving were I work.   I just knew could not let him go without giving him a Good Luck card, could I now.  I was thinking black cat (because to me black cats are lucky) and clover's / shamrock. This is what I came up with.

I think it is nearly the same concept of card I did my brother a while back.. Oops, oh well I like it tho, I hope he does too.

I am going to leave you now until next time...

Please let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.

First of all I like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Secondly I would like to say sorry for the lack of post last year. It was partly to do with a family situation, and also the fact I had trouble with the tablet I use to write this on...

Hopefully I have sorted the problem out, so full steam ahead

New Friend

Hello all -  I'm still alive.....

If you are wondering where I have been. Well the answer is, I had trouble with my newish iPad (He was new to me anyhow ). I learnt I could write posts easy on the iPad. But couldn't upload photos, maybe my brother new of a way but didn't want to share and I couldn't go back to my old nexus7 as it was slowly dying. (Its still dying)


Until the other day when my Godmother said I could have her kindle fire.  Has she was upgrading to the latest version.  At first I was a little unsure about it, as I always thought the kindle is just for books. How wrong am I?


Today my Godmother pop around for coffee and a chat with my mum, she also dropped off the kindle.


I've decided from now on this is what I will be using from now on to blog...


See you soon
