Grid

I love these colors. I don't use yellow enough, but with Spring coming I will.


Another little puzzle finished.

Puzzling the Spring inchies together for this card.


The stamps are mostly Hero Arts.

A different inchie design

My design is inspired by a lovely inchie card I saw on Pinterest. It was so inspirational.



I love making these little puzzles.

Inchies - in different sizes

Here I have an inchie and a grid project. I like the grid projects because they are not so rigid and give a little expansion to the creative process.



I used wine labels which didn't end up on a card for both of these cards.


These have been scanned, so I didn't use any bulky embellishments.

Wine label grid

I have been playing with wine labels that my son found in a bin where he was working in the 'Cave' near where we live in the South of France. I have been having so much fun with them and it is as if the stamps and colors give such a new dimension on these little canvasses.



This card is a result of the labels that didn't work out, I just put the punch into them.

Pastel colors

Spring is here.... well it isn't yet but it soon will be! The sun is shining today so it makes the cold a little bit more bearable especially if it shines through the windows.



I have one regret with this card and that is that the stamping of the sentiment at the top of the card should not have been upside down.

Inchies - Botanical theme

These was made for a botanical theme a while ago. I used alcohol inks for the background and embossed different stamp images from Butterfly Garden. I love using this technique.


It gives a different look to and use of your stamps.

Rusty hinge and Broken china

I used some new color distress inks on projects that didn't work out. So I make a grid in that case.


I love these colors at the moment.

Christmas Grids with alcohol inks

These have already been featured on my other blog, but they haven't been added to this blog yet, so I'm just catching up.


I used alchol inks on glossy cardstock for my background. Stamped with versamark and embossed the Holly Stamp from Hero Arts in white and gold. Punched out squares and assembled them to give a different look to a card, and also the chance to use stamps that I don't have much inspiration with in any other way.


This card was featured on this blog today. Here I used white and silver embossing using a Decorative Ornament stamp from Hero Arts and Cranberry and Ginger alcohol inks on glossy paper.

Sketch design

A different lay-out - this time inspired by a sketch found here. As it does not follow the sketch completely I'm going to give this one another try.



Most of the images are Hero Arts and from my scrap basket. Thanks Sue, I am really enjoying this sentiment stamp. I don't usually use these colors but once in a while I don't mind them.

A grid in blue

This time I didn't leave any space between the squares and picked out all the blues I had which were in the minority, but still enough to puzzle together another grid.



This was my little Sunday entertainment.

Mix and match and added sewing

Another way to use up all the snippets and cut-outs which need to find a home. The added feature to this card is sewing, which I love to do ...
