About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like Walking/Geocaching. I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Evangelical Church.

December Club - Poinsettia

The December Club was somewhat a select gathering with just the 2 of us, but we had a good time chatting and making up some Christmas Cards using a poinsettia die.














One card was inspired by a Tim Holtz tag I did last year and subsequently made into a card. The flower is made with vellum coloured with distress inks and is very delicate.










The other card was inspired by a journal page I made last year too. It uses a traditional red and green poinsettia with a painted and stenciled background.

The cards are rather involved so it was probably a good job there were only 2 of us!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All.
