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.

Tournée du Chat Noir

Two similar cards today, both with a topper based on the poster Tournée du Chat Noir de Rodolphe Salis by Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, I just love this spiky little cat.

I used elements from a very old Kanban Crafts kit to make these cards.  I have a great stash of these kits from QVC, which have just been stacked upstairs gathering dust since I moved on to using digi stamps and Promarkers.  However, with the demise of my old desktop PC, I have dug out some of these old kits and started to give them my own design twists.  The Card Candy, silver mirri and glitter card are from my crafty stash.



Have a good day.


Dionne

      Thank you Carol, I hope you are having a good week? I just adore those dishevelled cats and they seemed to go so well with that, what looked to me to be, Japanese styled papers.
