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.

Welcome Georgie Giraffe

I hope you are well.

A few months ago I spotted this super cute image of Georgie Giraffe on my dear friend The Crafty Stamper's blog, the card Carol made with is image was breathtaking and very inspiring.  As my family were eagerly awaiting a new addition I headed to The Colour of Love's website to purchase a couple of their enchanting baby images.

My card is not anything like the one by The Crafty Stamper, but none-the-less I am very pleased with the result.


I coloured little 'Georgie' with Promarkers and picked out one or two places with Glossy Accents.  The hearts were made with a Sizzix Bigz die and the baby mobile die is by Transer.  The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the animal buttons are from my stash.


I made this card for the proud grandparents, in a day or two I shall share the one I made for the very happy new parents.

      Thank you Carol, that is high praise from the master. It's not as good as your Georgie card, you have some really neat dies (and I made the image a bit too big for my dies). But that mobile die is good and I must make more use of it.

      Thank you so much. I do have a lot of blue Promarkers, haha! And those The Colour of Love images are so sweet, it would be hard to make a bad card with them.
