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.

Halloween Fancy Dress

I hope you week is going well.  The current challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges is the ever so popular Halloween.

My card today features the kitchen maid from the big house, the one the baron owns, she is all dressed up as The Bride of Frankenstein to go Trick or Treating with her friends.


I coloured this old Saturated Canary image with Promarkers, I then mounted it on some holographic silver mirri card and some pumpkin coloured glitter paper.  Althugh I have had this image some time I do not think I have ever used it before. I am pleased I bought it when I did because the shop is closed now.


I cut the string of crows and black cat from a Sizzix Thinlet die using black glitter card.  The backing paper is from my stash.

Don't forget to enter your Halloween projects to the Crafty Boots Challenge.

Good luck.

    Pretty cool card. The image is great! Now the cats and crows definitely add a little spook. Like 15 years ago my mom picked me up from school and we came home to a yard full of crows! We were freaked out and wonder why they chose our yard lol.

      How odd, I can see why you have never forgotten that. I think I would be pretty freaked out too.

      Thank you. It was a fun card to make, expecially coming up with the fancy dress costume idea.
