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.

Pink Lorry, Blue Lorry, Too Much Pink?

This is one of those cards which looks better in the flesh .... well, at least I hope so.

I have been playing with my new metal dies and bling metallic card, lots of layers and bright colours.

I made the card for my brother-in-law, who drives a lorry for living.  However, I did not send it to him this year, I think there is a perhaps a little something missing so I thought I would find out what you think.  Should I take it apart and mount the pink layer on to some black card?  Or was the pink a bad ideal all round?  What do you think?

    I think it's a great card, but, not sure about the pink?

      See, I had a feeling that there was something wrong with this card. I'll go back to basics and try again.

      Thanks for telling me what you think.

      Seems you may be the odd one out here MrsBeez. The rest of us think that the pink is out!

      I had a gut feeling about this card, which is why my b-i-l never received his card. Back to the drawing board. Good to know though!
