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.

What? Another Anniversay Card!

I realise that I have made several wedding anniversary cards this year which look very similar.  I confess this is because I rediscovered an old Kanban pack of papers I bought way, way back from QVC.  They are so lovely that I squirreled them away and never used them, but I recently re-discovered them!

I posted a card I made for my husband for our anniversary a few days ago.  The other two cards are posted here and here.  Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to find Wedding Anniversary sentiments and stamps?  I wonder whether this is due to the influence of other countries and perhaps they do not celebrate wedding anniversaries?

This card is very similar to the one I made for my husband.  Sadly, by the time I was making a card for him, this one was in the post, opened, sat on the side for a while and, no doubt, put in the bin!


These lovely cards and embossed with gold foil or black paint and, for once, the anniversary sentiment came with the card pack.  I added a few tiny flat backed gems to the design.

I think I only have a few scrapes of this heart design left so you are unlikely to see any more anniversary cards made from it.

    1. Thank you Faith, that is so kind of you. I managed to squeeze four cards out of the heart sheets, they were perfect for anniversary's - but sadly it is all gone now .... although some may say not before time! Lol.
