Completely fell in love with this kit when I first saw it.  So happy with the finished project.  Excellent quality kit   

My second Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap. Our theme was to make a card from a Sketch we were given. I used papers and die cuts from my stash .   

This month theme for the Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap  was an easel card .  This was the card I made for my partner using Uniquely Creative  papers and die cuts.  

 We had the same theme for our second card in the  January Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap.  I matched the colours as close as I could from what I had available in my stash Loved the result. 

Our Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap for January was to make  a card colours from a paint sample card. I collected some colour strips from our local hardware shop and  created a row of cats using the actual strips

I think you could use this card for many different occasions  but I chose to use it as an engagement for a family member. Love these die cuts, so pretty.    

A male birthday card to share today   Made for another neighbour  and once again using Uniquely Creative papers and die cuts.      

Another birthday card to share today. Made for another neighbour  and once again using Uniquely Creative papers and die cuts.    

One of our neighbours recently celebrated his 80th  so a special card was the order of the day.  As he is often seen cycling around the village,  I decided to use this pastime as a theme for his card.   

Sharing a birthday card today .   I recently made this for a friend and   from memory I think it was from the   Uniquely Creative range of papers and accessories.  

I was given this Notre Dame Cathedral kit as a Christmas gift. It certainly looked a bit daunting to start with, so many tiny pieces,  but it was an absolute joy to construct. I have purchased a clear case display it in and save it from the dust.   

Quite a while  since I have posted. Life just got in the way for a bit there with lots happening in the background but still managing a bit of card making and other craft. Over the next little while I would like to share some of my projects. For a few years now I have been sending my craft work out west to a tourist shop so I will share some of the finished items. I am also working on a craft fair in a neighbouring village in a couple of months and a fair here in my own village which I am helping to organise as well as the usual monthly card swap I am involved with and of course a few birthday cards. Thank you for looking and I hope you enjoy them.  I will start with this miniature Garden Gazebo. I built this for my friend for her birthday earlier this month. It was a pleasure to build and I loved the finished project I bought another kit  to make for myself....and yes, my friend loved it.  Lots of photos in this post.    

Just going back a little while here. Our Craft Mad Group decided to join in World Cardmaking Day  late last year. We all hooked up online and made a  Pop Up Diamond Tiara Card. It was very interesting, a bit hard to keep up at times as I am a very visual crafter  and it was a Mystery card, so we had no idea what we were doing. However, we all got there, and it was a lot of fun.  I wasn't very happy with my first attempt, so I made the Christmas card next day  and it turned out so much better.  

Sharing some more beaded book marks I have made  to sell in the outlet shop. Getting a head start for next years consignment.   

I beaded this note pad box for my friend Elva  who is celebrating her 88th Birthday today. Loves horse so fits I am sure she will love it.  Happy Birthday Elva

I always seem to be short of men's cards so I made up a Uniquely Creative kit  I had in my stash. I did modify them slightly to suit the people I was making them for but  I was happy with the results.

I beaded this serviette holder as a gift for my friend. They are double sided and look very pretty on the table.   I added some very pretty serviettes with some spares.  All pink of course 😉    

 Very best wishes to my family and friends  for a happy and healthy New Year . I hope 2026 is a wonderful year for everyone.
