Well 2015 is almost done – and what a year it has been!
I started 2015 much like everyone else – with a bucket full of hope that 2015 was going to be a better year than 2014.
As 2016 is set to appear tomorrow morning, I thought that now would be a good time to see whether that bucket managed to provide what it promised…
I’ve been a little quiet on the All Counties Craft challenge for the last week or so because I have been working my way through various exciting developments however I wanted to take a moment to share a little update with you that really warmed my heart.Read More »
Managed to squeeze in another in Scan N Cut tutorial series today. This time around I show you how to create a shaped word card from scratch using the tools and fonts found in Scan N Cut Canvas.
Here is the final in the mini series of four Artist Trading Cards featuring the elements of earth, air, fire and water.
This creation features ‘water’ as it’s theme.

Fire is the theme for the third in this mini series of Artist Trading Cards and it uses a new addition to my craft stash.
Well hello again. Here is the second of four artist trading cards themed around the elements. This one represents ‘air’.
Odlly, given that I usually slap on loads of stuff, it was relatively easy to do this one.
So, I haven’t forgotten the little challenge that I set myself at the start of the year and so, whilst I don’t think that I’ll make it to 365 ATCs, I’ve still got quite a few that I need to share with you before the year is out.
Today will see four themed Artist Trading Cards depicting the elements, earth, air, fire and water.
Today’s post concludes the trio of canvases that I created with the same materials.
It’s difficult to say for sure but I think this might just be my favourite.
Now, I have to say that I don’t know a huge amount about the new Brother Scan N Cut CM700 model however if the machine is something that you have been curious about then today is the day that you can find out more.
Also a new software release has been announced for CM600 users – it really is all going on in the world of Brother today.

Thankfully another of the canvas creations dried in time for me to share it with you this evening.
This one uses the same materials as yesterday’s ‘Mountains Of Venus’ but I ended up with a very different feel.Read More »
I’ve been having a little play with some (lots) of paints and inks over the last few evenings as a sort of way to unwind from thinking about all of things that I’ve been trying to achieve.
I’m very pleased with the results and I think that when you find out some of the techniques, you may be a little surprised…
Some time ago (over a year ago in fact) I created a blog post about how to create half cut cards in Scan N Cut Canvas. As part of my little series of Scan N Cut tutorials I though that it would be great if I could make a little video to accompany that.
So here it is!
By now, you’ve probably heard me talk about this ‘little’ thing that I am doing in 2016 called the All Counties Craft Challenge, well, the response has been ridonculously overwhelming so I just wanted to give you a little bit of an update if I may.
Managed to sneak in a little playtime again today and have been working again with the range of products sent to me by Georgina Ford of Designs By Georgina.
I also have a little giveaway too!
I have been having a go at making gifts bags this week. Something I’ve not really tried before but with the big ‘C’ coming up I thought that I’d like to have a go this year.
This project started out with the Poinsettia Gift Tag Stamp from Designs by Georgina. I stamped this out onto Kraft card using an Archival Inkpad; this was then cut out around the outer edge.
