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.

Chrysanthemum

It is time for the mid challenge reminder at Crafty Boots Challenges, where the current challenge is a sketch challenge.


Last week I used the sketch as the basic layout for two twinchie canvasses.  Today I decided to use it for a card.


This glorious chrysanthemum was part of a paper by Tim Coffey, both it and the backing paper are from a K & Co paper stack. I mounted the paper on some gold miri and green card, I then decoupaged the chrysanthemum to the top of the sheet.  Because the chrysanthemum is domed I had to move the sentiment and ribbons over to one side.  Finally, I added a few flat backed pearls to the card.

Don't forget to enter your designs into this Crafty Boots Challenge.

Good luck.

      Have a good trip.
