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.

Birthday Girl

I was recently tidying my crafting space and came across several boxes of kit cards.  They have probably been stacked in that corner for something like ten years.  About that time I joined a design team and stopped using kit cards.  It seems such a waste to leave them in the corner, so I pulled a handful of sheets out and made a couple of cards.


I have these sheets so long I cannot really remember where I got them from but , if I had to guess, I would probably say that I bought them from C&C .... or QVC.

After pressing out the components from the sheet, and putting my design together, I added some flat backed gems, ribbon and a sentiment from my stash.  Quick and easy to make - and the person I sent it to actually argued with me because she was convinced that it was a shop bought card.  Sometimes I wonder why I bother!

      Thank you Carol. My cousin was actually 'complaining' that I had not made her a card this year and would not believe me when I said that I had made it. The oddest thing was that her clincher was that the card had an insert saying Happy Birthday .... but I always add an insert!

      It was fun doing an decoupage element, it's been a long time. I think I am going enjoy making some more of these kit cards.

    Such a pretty card. As always with your cards it's the finishing touches that take them to a whole different level. X
