This is what I have made today, well I have made two for a friend. I just love altering these books. They are left blank down one side for the recipient to doodle on if they so wish.

This is another new card just made today. I have just discovered these on other forums/blogs. I got the design from one of Laurie Unger's blog. I think they are fabulous. I think it still needs a little something though, not sure what yet.

Altered notebook

Today I have been busy altering a notebook for my little girl, ok she is not so little now. I thought it would be nice for her to go back to school with as she will be in her final year at junior school. I have used a book that I bought from Morrison's and then decorated it with some scrummy papers from again Pink Petticoat. From this

Christmas Cards

Well I have been busy making Christmas cards. OK I know there is months to go before the BIG day but I really do need to start early. So I have been busy using Pink Petticoats new Christmas designs, I think they are FAB.

I just love these bold prints, never been a fan before until now. But boy are they gorgeous.

I didn't have any Christmas ribbon so thought I would make my own. I printed a strip of text and then cut it out. Placed my famous DST (double sided tape) onto the back and stuck two different coloured card onto the back and trimmed leaving a border. So simple really but effective.

First time blogging

Well my sister has been on at me for ages to create a blog or my space. Well I have finally took the plunge and started one. Don't know where to start really, should get some pics on here for you to see what I make. Well off to do just that.
Back soon.
