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.

Winter Wonderland

Today sees the start of the final challenge of the year for Crafty Boots Challenges, the theme of this challenge is 'Winter Wonderland'.

I have lost count of the number of  Design Team projects I have made this year but this is my one for today.


I coloured this image some time ago and mounted it on the polka dot paper but then I did nothing more with it, so today I have turned it into a Christmas card for a good friend.  I am sure there is a term for this but I cannot think what it is. 


The stamp is a Gorgeous Girl one called Winter Friend, I coloured it with Promarkers. The polka dot paper is from Dovecraft, the evergreen paper is from First Edition (this paper really isn't this acidic in real life).  The pine branch die is a Marianne Creatable die but I am not sure of the make of the trees, it is a new one and all the pack says is 'made in China'.  The sentiment is from Anita's, everything else is from my stash.

The rest of the Crafty Boots Design Team have been busy, please pop over to the blog and take a look at their fabulous work for yourself.
