Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

Bridge over the River Spey

I have made this card as a birthday card for a male friend, but in fact, this image would make a very good general purpose card.


I have become rather fascinated by these Delicious Doodles scenic images and have been trying to find out whether they are actual places.  I think this view of  The Craigellachie Bridge is on the River Spey in Scotland.  Isn't it a pretty place?


After colouring the bridge with F&C polychromos pencils and mounted it on silver mirri and some Stampin' Up Garden Green card. The backing paper and strips are also from Stampin' Up.  I made the sentiment on my PC and the card candy is from Craftwork Cards.

A very quick reminder about the current Crafty Boots Challenge - 'Masculine Cards'.
