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.

Another peek at what to expect on the Stamp Addicts TV show on Monday....

Here's another peek at some of the cards I made for Monday's TV show. Again, I have used the rain girl, but this time she's wearing her rain hat. I added some ties on it with some thread. I used diamond glase on her raincoat and hat and wellies to add shine. The other one is the little football girl who also comes with assessories, drink bottle and football and whistle and text. I will post some more very soon. Bye for now, Michele

Another sneaky peek!




Hi everyone,

As promised here's another couple of cards I made for the Stamp Addicts TV show which is being shown on Monday on Ideal World 11.00am. I am entering these for the Cute Card Thursday challenge as the theme is citrus and they both include lime green. All images have been coloured with Copic and Promarkers. Hope you like them...

Stamp Addicts TV show - Sneaky peek! Plus Papertake Weekly Challenge



.
.

Hi everyone,

I've been a busy bee working on the cards for the next Stamp Addicts next TV show. It is being broadcast for the first time on Monday 6th April on Ideal World at 11.00am. They are brilliant stamps and I've had lots of fun working on these great designs by Judikins. Here's a couple of cards I made using some of the stamps. More of my cards with the other designs to follow shortly. Check out the other DT members, via the Purple Zone, who have made some great cards. The theme for this week's Papertake Weekly Challenge is circle, stamped image and ribbon, so I couldn't resist adding my first card in for this challenge as it fits the bill perfectly!

Cute Card Thursday Challenge 51


Hi everyone,

I love this week's sketch, and because it's a sketch it saves me having to think about the layout too much, which speeds things up a bit! Although my five year old little girl slowed things down as she wanted to make a card of her own. It takes her about five minutes to colour the image and then she wants lots of goodies out my craft cupboard! Anyway I got there in the end, so this is my entry for the weeks Cute Card Thursday Challenge...

Hello everyone,

Well, the weekend's nearly over and it's back to work tomorrow, so I shouldn't really be up late crafting, but you know what it's like once you start! Hope you all had a fun weekend.

Penny Black Challenge - Recipe 3,2,1


Hi everyone,

Wow, I couldn't believe it when I saw that I'd won the draw from last weeks challenge, I had to do a double take, lol! What a great start to the weekend. Thank you so much to everyone on the Penny Black Challenge Team.

I got up early this morning and did this week's challenge so I could get all the mess out the way early, I'm not a tidy crafter! So here's my entry for this week's Penny Black Challenge... Have a great weekend, and thanks for looking, from a very happy blogger, Michele x
