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.

Bingo

Good morning to all of my blogging friends and, as ever, a very special welcome to anyone who has found themselves here via the Crafty Boots Challenges site.

Time is flying by and today sees another new challenge start at Crafty Boots Challenges.  The theme for this challenge has been set by the very talented Denise and she has set us a bingo challenge.

If you are unfamiliar with bingo challenges, the dea is to use the 'elements' that are in a line: either vertical (ie Green, Pearls and Yellow) horizontal (ie Yellow, Dots and Lace) or diagonal (ie Ribbons, Stripes and Yellow). You can also choose to use the 4 corners or go for the 'full house' which would mean using all the 'elements' on the project.


I chose to use the bottom line of Yellow, Dots, Lace for my card.


This gorgeous image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and is called Ragged Romeo.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and mounted it on silver mirri before adding the lace and backed it all with yellow glitter card.  Sadly my photograph does not show how lovely this lace is.


The lace and flowers came from Wild Orchid Crafts and the backing paper is by Dovecraft.  I also added a few yellow pearls up in one corner.

Please spend some time looking at the fabulous creations the other Crafty Boots Challenge  Design Team Members have made and don't forget to enter the challenge yourself.

Have a great week.
