Farewell 2016



I thought it might be interesting as 2016 comes to a close to have a bit of a review of what my blog has brought me in 2016 (since it was new this year around March-ish) and have a look back at at some of my most popular posts!

Christmas 2016



I am not usually one for Christmas cards and we don't generally receive any either but one year ago we moved from our little home of 15 years to a whole new area leaving some dear friends behind. This year I wanted to make a little something for them to show them that they are not forgotten :)





I forgot in my haste to take a photograph of the inside before I wrote on them but I used the large sentiment from the Bright & Beautiful (case 2) stamp set in Crumb Cake and placed a strip of the same DSP down the side.

Just Add Ink #329 - Inspiration



I was playing around with watercolouring today, not much else I want to do when it's raining outside, and I came up with this card for the latest Just Add Ink Challenge #329. It didn't quite turn out the way I had planned but I'm putting that down to not being able to see stamp placement very well when stamping in Versamark.

I received a lot of interest for the card I posted a little while ago featuring the Cheshire Cat so I'm posting here the steps on how to put him together.
