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.

Fair and Square

Another Monday and another challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges, the theme of this challenge is 'Fair and Square'.

My first challenge was how to interpret this challenge, I decided to go with squares, if you look closely you will see that I have manged to work 5 squares into this card.  How you interpret the theme is up to you.


This adorable little cutie is from Tiddly Inks and is called 'Happy Bee Day'.  As soon as I saw her I knew she was perfect for Mrs Beez birthday - Mrs Beez is crazy for all things bees.  I may have gone a little OTT with the bees in this design but under the circumstances I think I can be forgiven.


I coloured the image with Promarkers and mounted it on gold mirri, I also cut out the dentiment and mounted it on some of the gold mirri.  The backing paper if from the Forever Friends New Baby stack - I really love this stack, so many gorgeous papers.  The big bees are from a peel off set and the daisies are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The est of the Crafty Boots Challenges Design Team have come up with some amazing takes on the Fair and Square theme, make sure you take a look when you enter your project.

Good Luck.

    As you already know, I absolutely adore this! Every single element is just perfect. I especially like the arrangement around the sentiment. Am very lucky to have been the recipient of this and will cherish it always xx

      I am so very pleased that you liked your birthday card, I think that discovering Tiddly Inks and this image was such a find. I then just used all the bee things I have been collecting all year - going totally OTT was so much fun!

      Do you mean the rub off bees? The photo really does not show how sparkly they are, a real find.
