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.

A Bunch of Poinsettias

I have the last of my monochrome poinsettia cards to show you today.  There just are not enough days in the week to post one colour a day and I should warn you that there are quite a few photographs in this post.

I have been experimenting with single coloured cards because the current theme at Crafty Boots Challenges is 'Monochrome'.






The poinsettia die is from Susan's Garden by Sizzix.  The card, ribbon and snowflake charm are all from my stash.

I mentioned the other day that I based these cards on a design I saw on Pinterest by Debby Yates.

There is still time to enter your monochrome project in the Crafty Boots challenge.

    A truly fabulous set. Your layering and embossing pairings are superb - something I would never have thought of. I especially like the red with the spotty ribbon x

      I think the flowers work best with the dark leaves on top and I was lucky to have such an extensive ribbon collection, so I was able to match any colour card. Talk about a mis-spent youth!

      I recently treated myself to a couple of new A4 embossing boards, well worth the money.
