Hi All well just a few more days left in Cyprus the weather has really warmed up now,

I have been crafting and making tutorials for my YouTube channel, whilst here although my craft supplies have been limited and I've had to think out of the box a few times. I have really enjoyed going back to basics.

I have been creating a journal cover for a dragon journal the process is on my YouTube channel

 Hi Everyone,

I have been away from this page for a while, the truth is I lost access and the process was too long to get back, enough of the excuses,

What have I been up to well I'm still passionate about crafting I've upgrade my scan n cut to a DX model and still  use it as much as I did my old one. by the way I still have my CM900 and use both, I did think about selling it but my concern is it may stop working there is no guarantees with second hand products so Ill just keep it.

I have been creating memory Albums  and recently found Junk Journals my new addiction.

I have also started a YouTube channel about Junk Journaling mainly tutorials its so exciting building an audience.

I have been creating my own digital paper kits A4 size and sell these in my Etsy store again I'm building up my customer base there too.

I will update my be visiting this blog every time I upload a video to my YouTube channel.

Scan n Cut

I have had my Scan n cut over a year now, believe me it is the most used piece of equipment in my craft room! Even more used than my beloved Pazzel and Robo.

I love using the scan n cut canvas software to design new projects and working on some shaped trellises which I will show more of.

I have also purchased some of the brilliant USBs available these really enhance my creativity no end

Scan n Cut CM900

I am now the proud owner of a Scan N Cut CM900  and learning new things every day.
I have been using some old cutting files from my craft robo days as you can see from the picture posted
I will post my makes here and also add some tutorials.

Birthdays Galore

April is a month full of birthdays for me in fact most months I have a birthday card to produce for a family member. these are a few of the cards I have produced this month

Docrafts Demo May

Some samples for my next demonstration at The Range in Perth. I used :

• Filigree Tea set Dies and Geometric papers
• Santoro Stamps and papers
• Circle nest dies and Geometric paper
• Mr Smiths Workshop Paper pack. tool and brad embellishments.

These were all inspirations from our design team at docrafts

Fathers Day

Father's Day Jars I have been making also some small facecloth cakes containing men's shaving, hair and shower products.
I used Docrafts products to decorate the Jars glass paint and Mr Smiths workshop papers they are great for these projects

Fairies in a jar

Ta busy day today playing with fairies and glitter! My house, let's say is a little sparkly even my little yorkie Dora did not escape the fairy dust. I cut fairies with my Pazzles stuck them to the inside of the jar with ova glue then covered the outside with tissue paper added some iridescent glitter and finished with ribbon and embellishments. Then add a battery tea lite and It looks like you have a fairy in your jar.

Wedding Stationery

This is my Passion and the reason I started Paper crafting over 20 years ago.

Back in those days the crafting supplies where not as freely available there was no online buying But we managed. My first craft items where do crafts and I have never stopped buying them the stamp I used for this is Anita's

Mothers Day

This cards I made from Spellbinder and Do craft Dies. I just love the fancy folds you can achieve with the dies

Flowers in a box



My first attempt at the little fold flat box cards they are quite easy to make. I think they are a brilliant concept for a card. I got the inspiration from blog hopping and Pinterest

Wedding Stationery designs

Docrafts demonstration

well that's my first demonstration done. Although it was snowing when I travelled up to Perth this morning, there were plenty of Crafter's about buying lots of crafting goodies.

I did lots of stamping using the time capsule stamps and designed a couple of love birds from one of the shapes which most commented on. One gentlemen asked if he could buy it for his wife's birthday as she loved birds.

There were lots of people out for crafty goods to start wedding stationery.
