And following quickly on the heels of my brother's birthday comes an easier birthday to make for. Easier because this is one birthday — my other half's sister — where I can repeat the general theme without worrying that it won't be appreciated. Bunnies! And this is a particularly cute bunny. I did the colouring… Continue reading Cute bunny

Dino birthday
Another birthday card and once again my inspiration for card-making has deserted me. And it's for a guy so, of course, absolutely nothing in my stash is suitable. Luckily I have my secondary stash of coloured images to fall back on. A quick sort through and I settled on this cute dinosaur and his stack… Continue reading Dino birthday
Ridiculous robins
I make nearly all of my cards A6 size (14.8cm × 10.5cm): it's a nice manageable size and is the most efficient use of A4 card. But once in a while, I decide to scale things up a bit. I've made a couple of larger cards already this Christmas for family, and this one for… Continue reading Ridiculous robins
The spirit of Christmas
Yet another image from the printed digi stamp pile. I wasn't planning on putting this on a card — I was just doing it for the Daily Marker colouring challenge — but then my other half spotted it, declared it to be the spirit of Christmas and claimed it as perfect for a friend. I… Continue reading The spirit of Christmas
Holly berries
Another one from the digi pile. Even relatively simple designs from Power Poppy have such a lot of gorgeous detail; they are a joy to colour. I kept the colouring simple and added highlights on the berries with a gold gel pen. Glossy accents gives a bit of dimension and a lot of shine. I… Continue reading Holly berries
Reindeer pair
One of the nice things about taking part in the Daily Marker colouring challenge is that I get to make my pile of printed digi stamps a bit smaller. Or at least I do on those occasions when I remember to check how many I have before printing a whole load of extras just in… Continue reading Reindeer pair
The Daily Marker Challenge #11 day 6-10
Another five days and more progress on getting the Christmas cards done. If I'm not careful I'll actually start feeling optimistic about finishing them! Of course, that now means that I have a backlog of cards that need photographing and writing up for the blog. I've gone from having nothing scheduled and just one thing… Continue reading The Daily Marker Challenge #11 day 6-10
The Daily Marker Challenge #11 day 1–5
Well, five days in and I haven't given up yet 🙂 And I've completed one card and done the colouring for another so that's definite progress on the Christmas card list. I say that like I actually have a final finished list of cards I have to make, whereas, in practice, I actually have a… Continue reading The Daily Marker Challenge #11 day 1–5
Pumpkin freebies
Every now and again I come up with an idea for a card design but then I can't find a suitable image, either in my stash or even as a downloadable digi stamp. So, not wanting to give up on the idea, I end up making my own digi stamps or cut files to use.… Continue reading Pumpkin freebies
Gnome wedding
I nearly didn't make this card. I'm really not a fan of gnomes — I've only ever made one other card with gnomes on it and that was done with a particular person in mind — and I didn't want to make a card I am unlikely to use (my card stash is big enough… Continue reading Gnome wedding
