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.

The Little Blue Dragon

Once upon a time there was a little blue dragon who wanted nothing more that to make someone smile when they opened their birthday card!

Umm, the older I get, the worse I seem to be at popping cards in the post with sufficient time to arrive on the day.  I therefore found myself, once again, in need of a quick birthday card.  So, I got out my go to for quickie cards, metal dies.  This little guy is part of a set of four dragon dies, which I found on Amazon. I cut the dragon from some blue metallic card.  I then mounted the whole thing on some more of the blue card.  I cut the sentiment, which also came from Amazon, from a scrap of card I had left over.

Just off to the post box.

      Thank you Carol. To be honest, I think I would have trouble doing anything other than CAS with these dragons, they just want a nice plain background to 'pop' against.

      Have a great week.

    This looks stunning, much more than the sum of its parts.The metallic is a gorgeous colour and I'm guessing even more so in real life xx

      You are so right MrsBeez, I was disappointed with the photograph, the card looked so much better with all the glitz and glimmer.
