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.

Happy Anniversary to Me!

I have several cards and cardigans which I made during the past year but just never got around to posting them.  This is one of those cards.  Earlier this year I shared with you a couple of anniversary cards and then along came my own wedding anniversary.  Which is when I had realised that I virtually used up all of the beautiful paper and card I had been using to make the other anniversary cards!

I went back into my pack of very old Kanban Crafts papers and card to see if I could find any other designs which I could use.  The papers in this kit are all fabulous and I have been squirreling them away for a long, long time.

Most of these paper and cards are embossed with silver or gold foil but this sheet is embossed with black paint.  I folded a sheet of plain A4 card and cut three panels from the pretty card.  These panels were attached to the backing card, I added a couple of sentiments and a few flat backed gems from my stash.


You might be able to make out the fold a little better from this view.

I apologise for the poor photography, the gold foiling is very reflective, making the card hard to photograph.
