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.

Challenge 32 (Autumn)



Hi Everyone,

I haven't got a Magnolia Halloween stamp so I thought I would adapt this one to make the first of my Halloween cards. I've been meaning to make a start on them for a while now. I recently bought a set of 'Clearly Defined' Halloween stamps from Stamp Addicts, so they came in handy with this little project! If you look at a post I did in September using my Magnolia stamp you can see her in full before I cut off the bird she is holding and her wings and some of her hair (I sound so cruel!) So here she is for the 'Cute Card Thursday Challenge' & 'The Dinky Dots Den Challenge'....

Elephants never forget...


Hi Crafters,

Thanks so much to everyone who has followed my blog it's a real compliment.

I just love this cute little elephant. I have been looking forward to using him on a card since I coloured him in some time ago for the 'Cute Card Thursday Challenge'. So here he is...

Here’s my card

Here come the girls!

Hi Everyone,

I haven't posted anything for a while as I've been busy working on the latest assignment from 'Stamp Addicts' which was a range of lovely girly stamps called 'Mimi Girls' from DeNami. I quickly took a few pictures of the cards in my lunch hour on Monday and then posted them off to 'Stamp Addicts'. I didn't have the best background for taking the pictures, the car park floor! Oh well. Anyway here are a few of the cards I made.

Definitely Girly!



Hello Everyone,

I think you would agree that not many men would really want to receive this card, so it is definitely 'One for the girls'. So this is my entry for the 'Penny Black Saturday Challenge'. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend with lots of 'craft time'.

Little Pink Princess...


Hello Everyone,

Another stamped image that I took away with me to colour when I was in France. As this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge is 'Pretty in pink', it was lucky for me it was the colour I chose for her! So here is my 'Pink Princess', hope you like her.

A little birdie told me!


Hi Crafters,

I'm back crafting after my holiday in France. I say back crafting but I did actually take a few stamped images with me to watercolour, well what can I say, I am truely addicted! Anyway here's one of the images I coloured when I was away that I have used for the Papertake weekly challenge. Hope you all had good holidays. Bye for now, Michele x
