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.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is almost over and the other day I realised that I had not made any cards to help awareness of Breast Cancer.

I am sure none of use really need telling how important it is to check ourselves for lumps and to get regular checkups once we reach that certain age ... and that includes the men too. Making cards could not be easier with these free McMahon Five Design digital images, sadly their on-line store has closed and the images are no longer available.


This little cupcake was designed to give hope - I know this because it said so on the ribbon, however, I covered the words with my fabulous pink glitter.  I then layered it on some gold mirri card.  I also cut a gold butterfly using one of my Marianne Creatable dies and added a few pink flat backed gems. The paper is from my stash.  Finally, I added a few appropriate words.

    Gorgeous card for one of the greatest causes! I just love it Dionne! That butterfly is fabulous and the pink gemstones were a great way to enhance it! The glittery sentiments are really eye catching, which is perfect for your theme! Well done my friend! hugs :)

    Great card - that cupcake looks scrumptious and of course the butterfly is just perfect. I'm so cross I didn't make some with that fabulous bee and good on you for getting on with it!
