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.

Poppy Tag

There is just time to squeeze in another post before the deadline for the current Crafty Boots Challenge.

This time it is a tag featuring part of a Delicious Doodles image .  I coloured the image with F&C pencils before fussy cutting it out.


I used a Sizzix Bigz die to cut the tag, I then used distress inks to create the background.


The poppy silhouette die is from Memory Box and the ribbon is from my stash.

    1. Thank you so much, that is high praise indeed and greatly appreciated. I do not make many tags, perhaps I should do more.

  2. Love the image and the way you colored the blue sky is amazing. This is a great gift tag! I normally don't make a lot of gift tags either, but sometimes they are fun to do to switch things up!

    1. Thank you. I never actually put gift tags on presents, unless it is Christmas, so I do not automatically think tag but it is nice to get away from cards from time to time.
