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.

Rosa Rosaceae Anniversary Card

The weather here at the moment is absolutely dreadful, I cannot remember the last day it did not rain and the last few days it seems none stop.  Such a long way from those endlessly hot days of summer.  The leaves have fallen from the trees and when it stops raining I really must get into the garden and clear at least the paths of the wet, slippery leaves.

My card today is in memory of those hot summer days, with the bees buzzing and the light scent of roses in the air.


My stamp today is another of my PSX floral stamps, this one is Rosa Rosaceae.  I coloured it with Promarkers and mounted it on some mirri card as well as some green card.  I made the tag with a scrape of Stampin' Up paper and some ribbon from my stash.  The busy bee paper is also from Stampin' Up.


Thank you for stopping by, I look forward to your visits.  Have a good week.

    1. You're too kind Carol - hands up, the paper would not be my first choice of paper for this stamp but I made the card for the Crafty Boots 'Things with Wings' Challenge (I am a littl late with my posting).
