Kicking off a series of blog posts that I hope will offer some mojo butt-kicking inspiration during times when it has nipped off down the shops.
I included a few of these card sketch layouts with my Couture Creations DT blog posts just before Christmas but these will feature a range of papers and embellishments of my own choosing.
The plan is to do a couple per week and include videos too to make them a little more lively so I hope that you will remember to pop back every now and then.
Ok, shall we crack on with the first?
Here is todays layout along with the card that I made.




Hope you like it.

Great! I need to get the dining table cleared off and back to crafting again, this is just the inspiration I needed. 😊
I’ve been looking through the Christmas cards we got this year, and noticing there are missing ones from people we always exchange cards with, so a little “Hi” card to check they are ok is very timely…
