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.

Red, White and Blue

Happy Wednesday to everyone and a very special happy birthday to my oldest and dearest friend.  This is the card I made for her.

This adorable little madam is called 'Mariko is Mad' and she comes from Mo's Digital Pencil.


After colouring her with Promarkers I mounted the image on some gold mirri.  The polka dot papers are from a Dovecraft pack and the red card is from Stampin' Up.


The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards ad the red ballerina shoes are from my stash.

I coloured the image with my red, white and blue pens because the current challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges is to use red, white and or blue in your design.  The rest of the design Team have made some stunning projects, make sure you check them out when you link up your projects.
