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.

Yellow Chrysanthemums

Our good weather has taken a temporary leave of absence, so I am hoping that the current Crafty Boots Challenge will generate enough sunniness to compensate the drop in temperature ..... and even inspire the sun to return.

My Design Team card today features one of my favourite vintage stamps by PSX (Personal Stamp Exchange).  They produced a fabulous range of floral stamps but this one is definitely one of my favourites, it has been in my collection for about 25 years.


I coloured the stamped image with Promarkers and mounted it on gold mirri and yellow card.  The backing paper is by Stampin' Up.  The sentiment is from my stash.


We have two wonderful Guest Designers this week Deanne Clarke-Saunders and Carole Jones, they have made two spectacular cards for this challenge, pop over to the Crafty Boots Challenges blog and take a look at all of the Design Team cards.

Have a great week.

    Loving all your sunshine projects (shame there is no sign of the sun now I am out of jail!). This is super stylish with the yellow bloom and the gold mats interspersed with yellow. xx

      You certainly know how to pick a topic, this one has been great to work with, of course the scorching hot weather helped, but I have no idea where it went to this weekend!

      I hope you are having a restful week.

      Dionne xx

    Love this card. You definitely nailed the yellow theme. I am impressed. Love all the shine, happy birthday sign, and yellow flowers! I'm glad I can spell Chrysanthemum! :) (haha just a silly joke)

      Thank you, not such a silly joke. Despite it being on the card I kept spelling Chrysanthemum wrong, it drove me mad writing the blog.
