About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

I had problems making this card today (Thursday), the printer ink is running out so the paper and sentiment did not print very well.  Also I had an eye operation on Tuesday and I have to put one lot of drops in four times a day and another lot every hour so I can't see very well.

I layered Alicia Bel digi stamp Maureen and her ice cream onto paper from Digital Scrapbooking Cool Summer by Cindy Ritter and Aimee Harrison,  Added ice cream and sentiment from the same bundle.
Coloured digi with water colour pencils, water and gel pen.
