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.

Christmas Tree Lights

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate your visit and love it when you leave a comment.

I have another Christmas card to share with you today, it is one of my Design Team projects for Crafty Boots Challenges.  This adorable image is from A Day for Daisies and is called 'Christmas Light Fairy'.


I coloured the image with Promarkers and covered the Christmas lights and the fairy wings clear Wink of Stella to give them a twinkle.


I mounted the image on some gold mirri card and baby pink glitter card.  The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.

Thank you for stopping by.

    1. Thank you, this was one of those nice quick and simple cards. However, I think I may have over done the WoS brush pen as it has left a dirty looking mark on all of the lights.

  2. I love this image and bought it after another fab card that you made with it. Love the addition of the sparkle and the gold mirri is fab. xx

    1. It is a little cutie, I rather like the slim card it lends itself too.

    1. Thank you. I used Wink of Stella clear Brush Pen on the bulbs. It is a finer glitter than Stickles but is has a similar glue medium and it marked the bulbs - you can see the dark smudges in the photos. You can only see the marks at certain angles but the flash seems to have emphasised them.
