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.

Peace on Earth

The snow is still hanging around here but it only got to around two inches deep, it still managed to create havoc all day yesterday, with roads and schools closed. That's all it takes, two inches of snow!

Six more cards today from the from the Hunkydory Adorable Scorable kit called 'Contemporary Christmas'.


I felt that this pretty dove needed something a little bit special.  So I raised the main image with Pinflair Glue Gel and then mounted all of it on Stampin' Ups Wisteria Wonder card and silver mirri card.  I added a few flat backed gems and a sentiment from my stash.


I die cut a silver stepper card blank for this card.  Adding some trim, a lavender bow and some flat backed gems. 


I took a second photo so you could see the layers.


This one was mounted on both silver and gold mirri card and placed it on some of the backing card the kit and added a few of the kits decorations.


I gave this card a very similar treatment - mounted on gold mirri card and added some of the decorations from the kit and a sentiment.


Another of the die cut blanks, this one in gold mirri card.  Everything else came from the kit although I did add Glossy Accents to the Christmas Bauble.


Last card for today, I popped the central image and raised it up with Pinflare Glue Gel and added some of the decorations and backing card from the kit along with a sentiment.

I do not know what has happened to our little elves today, perhaps it has something to do with all of the snow we have had.  Hopefully they will be back tomorrow.

      Our snow is slowly melting but as soon as the sun goes the temp drops between 0 and -3. It even feels cold inside.

      Thank you, I rather like these card as well, it is such a shame that I cannot really show them at there best - between light bouncing off all of the metalic elements and the shiny surfaces. I end up switching off the flash and turning to the side!

    These are beautiful.The images with the metallic mats and layers is a stunning combination. Sorry not to see the elves, I do hope they're okay. We have very little snow compared to many areas of the country, but what we have got is hanging around as it is so cold. xxx

      Thank you for your lovely comments. Funnily, I was just telling Carol that all the metallic parts are so hard to photograph and you really do not get to see them at their best.

      I have elf news. Two sets of photos turned up today, so there will be elves tomorrow!
