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.

Sweet Blossom

Happy Friday, how has your week been?

At Crafty Boots Challenges we are still looking for your 'Spring' projects.  We have seen some amazing cards already but please keep them coming.

My card today features Sylvia Zet's 'Sweet Blossom', she is just sooo sweet.

 

After colouring the image with Promarkers I mounted it on some pearlescent card, the papers are from a Dovecraft Stack.


The dies are a Marianne Design Creatables Die called Branch Garden and one of the spell binder bird dies - I cannot remember which one.  The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the little butterfly charm came from ebay.

I hope you have a great weekend.
