Welcome to my Blog!

Hello Crafters! Crafting is my escape into my own little world full of ideas. Some of my best creations are produced in the early hours of the morning out of my craft cupboard …. hence ‘Open all hours’. Plus, as I have three lovely small children, often, evenings, weekends and late at night is the time when I can concentrate on making cards.

Penny Black Challenge - Something to eat...


Hi everyone,

The cards from the Design Team look fantastic this week. I have quite a collection of PB stamps thanks to a sale that was on at the Stevenage stamp show but only one that includes food! So here is my entry for the Penny Black Saturday challenge, coloured with my Promarkers and Copic Markers. Have a great weekend.

Papertake weekly challenge - Dawny's sketch #9


Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend. Lovely sketch from Dawny for the Papertake weekly challenge. Here is my entry with a gorgeous Penny Black stamp that I bought at the Stevenage Craft show. Image coloured with Promarkers and Copic markers. I'll probably re- take the photo in the day time as the colours will probably look nicer.



Hope you like it,

Penny Black saturday challenge No. 35



Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a good weekend. I've had a very busy weekend so far organising a party for my son who was 9 and my daughter who was two, but today I've managed to fit in a little time for crafting. Here is my card for the Penny Black saturday challenge. This challenge gave me the opportunity to use one of my new stamps and to practice using a combination of my new Copic markers and Promarker pens. I really love using them as they make it so quick and easy to colour an image, which is definitely good when you've got three children!

Hearts & Flowers - Papertake


Hi everyone,

I'm back posting after a long break! I've been trying to rest my hand to alleviate my RSI injury. I hope everyone is well and still enjoying crafting. Unfortunately I am still having problems with my hand/arm, therefore I'm still keeping my time on the computer to a minimum, so I won't be able to check out too many of your lovely blogs. It's really frustrating and I've really missed having a good old look, but once I start I don't want to stop!

Anyway here's my card for the Papertake weekly challenge. I made this card for my gorgeous little girl, Beth, who will be two years old tomorrow. Here she is having a rest and enjoying a cup of tea...


Bye for now,

Michele x
