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.

It is time for the mid challenge reminder for Crafty Boots Challenges, where the current Challenge is 'Fair and Square'.  There have been some amazing entries so far and the DT have had great fun looking at your entries.

I have a card to share with you today, which features a Bugaboo digital stamp called Mouse - Candle - isn't he cute?


I coloured the image with Promarkers and mounted it on some silver mirri.  I then added some polka dot papers from my stash and a sentiment.  In theory, cutting those backing papers should have been a simple matter, but I really struggled to get then just how I wanted them.  It was getting a little late so I am choosing to blame tiredness!

As always there are some fabulous inspirational pieces from the Crafty Boots Challenges Design Team but this week there are also a couple of outstanding cards from our Guest Designers, so why not take a look for yourself.

    I love that image but it is the border you have created is stunning. So perfectly done and so pretty (it reminds me of ice cream but that's another story!). xx

      I am intrigued as to why pink and lemon polka dot paper reminds you of ice cream, you must tell me some time.

      Thank you Lisa, I got there in the end but this was about my third attempt at those angles.

    I like the way you created a bevelled edge - so clever!
