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.

Ribbon, Lace and Hearts

Can you think of a more romantic combination than ribbon, lace and hearts?  Last week it was our lots and lots of years wedding anniversary and this is the card I made for my OH.


I went totally OTT on the romantic stake, but I figured it was worth is as we were going away for 10 days .  We had a fantastic time staying at a seaside hotel in Suffolk, which was the perfect combination of old and new, with great food .... I really enjoyed sampling their  cocktails.


Back to the card, the gold hearts were cut with a Memory Box die and backed with pink glitter card.  the sentiment is by Kanban Crafts and everything else came from my stash.

This very pink creations would be just the ticket for the current Crafty Boots Challege, which is to use pink in your project.

      Thank you Jacee, this was mark II, the first version was on a smaller card and looked cramped.

    I hadn't realised it was your anniversary - congratulations. Fabulous card, the pink glitter card looks fabulous behind the gold heart die cuts and I love the vintagy paper with the lace. I hardly need to mention the cocktails xx

      Ah yes, two for the price of one, so to speak. I could really do with a couple of those cocktails now!
