I've been feeling rather uninspired when it comes to making cards this year. I've enjoyed colouring images, but coming up with layouts that I like has been a struggle, and it's doubly hard when it's a birthday card for a fifteen-year-old boy... Originally I was going to do a card with a footballer on it… Continue reading Ratty Birthday
I occasionally enter giveaways — though not the ones on Instagram because of the insistence on tagging other people to enter — but I never really expect to win anything. I've bought a few bits and pieces from Cooksongold over the last year; their main focus is jewellery making, but that covers a wide range… Continue reading Cooksongold Hamper
After posting the cards made from the Winter Wonderland class images, I realised that I had missed one. When I did the class, I made a second, portrait, version of the scene from the first lesson.

I did consider doing that but — looks around — my priority right now is to tidy up my craft room. In theory, a month of mostly Copic colouring shouldn't create much of a mess but... somehow...… Continue reading The Daily Marker Challenge #12 day 25–28
The twelfth thirty-day colouring challenge is actually a twenty-eight-day colouring challenge to avoid overrunning the end of February. And that means that the last couple of round-up posts will be four days each... I've just worked on a couple of images this time: I paused on the first one because I couldn't decide what colour… Continue reading The Daily Marker Challenge #12 day 21–24
