2010 In Review

I’m sure most of you share my feeling that 2010 whizzed by far too quickly!  It’s all too easy to focus on all the things that didn’t get done, the projects we didn’t find time for, the stash that didn’t get used.  So, it’s nice to take a look back and enjoy what we did [...]

I’m Back! Plus, My Last Christmas Card of 2010!

Friends

I’m in no way finished with Christmas cards for this year…as usual I’m very last minute and disorganised.  BUT I still couldn’t resist inking up this adorable new stamp by Victoria Case for SCACD Stamps!

Bellariffic Friday – Gift or Gift Card!

Happy Bellariffic Friday!  I decided to create a gift – an altered Moleskine notebook!  Love doing these, they are so simple and quick to do, and I love the Moleskine notebooks.  I used Christy Croll’s EVERYDAY PRINCESS from Stamping Bella. Fabulous, isn’t she?  I coloured carefully with Copics, as they can bleed on the kraft [...]

Bellariffic Friday – I’m SNOW Jazzed!

The snow is still with us here in the UK.  It’s pretty cold out there, and we haven’t had any post for a couple of days.  Ho-hum!  It’s very pretty out there though, and I definitely feel more festive than I did last December. Anyway, it’s Bellariffic Friday time!  This week the theme is SNOW!  [...]
