What is a One Sheet Wonder?

Happy Wednesday folks Today, I’m sharing 9 cards made from one 12″ x 12″ sheet of retired Whole Lots of Lovely Designer Series Paper from my stash. Sadly we had a death in the family over the weekend (my hubby’s uncle) so needed sympathy cards. I find them tough to make and decided to use […]

Masculine cards!

Hi folks Today I’m sharing a few recent makes for two of the special men in my life. I often struggle with ideas for masculine cards (female cards are much easier) so I’m pleased with these. The first is the birthday card I made for my lovely Dad, who celebrated his birthday earlier in the […]
