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 Little Romance

It was recently our wedding anniversary and I wanted to make a sophisticated card to give to my husband.  I have been playing with a really lovely Indigoblu heart shaped stamp, which I thought fitted the bill beautifully.


I stamped the heart using Midnight Muse ink and mounted it on silver mirri and Midnight Muse card.  As you can see, I then mounted it on white card, leaving enough space along two sides to wrap navy blue organza ribbon around the card twice.  I then made some loops from the ribbon and placed a small navy blue rose at the centre.

The sentiment came on and off the card so many times I lost count and at the very last minute I took it off again!

      Thank you. It is a fabulous stamp and I have another project in mind for it, should do it whilst it is in my head.

      Thank you so much, I love this stamp. I want to use it more but you know me, once I get a design stuck in my head I have trouble breaking away from, it but I must try harder, so I can use it again.
