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.

A Pinch and A Punch

August, I wonder what this month will have in store?  Perhaps it will be a time to celebrate - or perhaps it will be a time for reflection.  Which ever it turns out to be here is a card to start the month with a bang.  

This image and backing paper come from an ancient Kanban Crafts kit, which I purchased from QVC way back in the Dawn Bibby days.  The papers in the set are some of the most stunning ones I have, very pretty designs printed on a variety of papers - different textures and thicknesses, and all printed with either gold or silver.  I got a little carried away with the Glossy Accents and highlighted all of the fizz exploding from the bottle.  The glitter card and sentiment came from ebay.


Wishing you a very happy August.

      Thank you Carol for your lovely comments. Dawn Bibby certainly has a lot to answer for. I have spent a fortune with QVC with her encouragement. Lol!

      Thank you. I am so pleased to read your comment as I did wonder whether I had gone a step too far with all of those Glassy Accents!
