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.

Bugs and Kisses

I was a little remiss with my posting last week and have therefore got behind with sharing my summer time cards for the current Crafty Boots Challenge.


This cute little couple is from Tiddly Inks - 'Bugs and Kisses'.  I coloured the image with Promarkers and mounted it on some gold and red card.


The backing paper are Stampin' Up and the daisies are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The large butterfly die is from Memory Box and the small one Stampin' Up.  The sentiment and little dragonflies are from my stash.

There is still time for you to enter your summer time projects in this Crafty Boots Challenge.

Good luck.

  1. Awwww, so sweet Dionne! As I scrolled through the posts I missed, I saw your comment about the markers drying out. If you add a couple drops of rubbing alcohol inside the marker, would that help at all? Just curious, seems a shame to have to start from scratch. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. hugs :)

    1. Thank you, it is so nice to 'hear' you say that. As you would have worked out, I have several favourite artists ... Saturated Canary, Mo's Digital Pencil, Tiddly Inks, A Day for Daisies, TeddyBo & Co and of course Delicious Doodles.

      The digital stamps are so much cheaper than the rubber ones and you can change the size to suit your card, oh and they take a lot less space to store!
