Avengers Assemble

I wanted this set when it was first released but it kept selling out so imagine my surprise to find it in the clearance section, I don't think I have ever checked out so fast lol.

Astronaut Revisited

I made this design a few years ago and I know I sound like a broken record but all the energy I have had for crafting is to recreate an existing design, trying to come up with an original idea in amongst the chaos would be a step too far at the moment, although the recent heatwaves have made me want to start christmas making lol

Shoes again version 2

Last of these for a while, not permanently though cos I made a few lol. I tried to make these look different by changing the inside colour but I am not a fan, so the next ones I went back to the original colours. 

Gone but not forgotten again

Can you see a theme lol. I had the stamp in my misti so I stamped a few more, as usual I tried to match the hair colour of the recipient and I know this card was really liked and they commented that they wished they had a cardi like the one here lol.

Shoes Again

Recently I showed a lady with this very background and this is the card that the background was left over from. I do love a two for one deal lol. And again you might recognise this stamp set but not this colour combo. I have a large group of friends from bingo and as they have never seen any of my prvious cards it makes it easier to recreate a favourite and of course I get to make a card that makes me smile.

Gone but not forgotten

Another nod to a classic design and even a classic stamp too, I went with very different colours this time and the design panel was already on my desk so kit seemed a shame not to use it.

I think everyone has had this lady stamp now, it was a firm favourite in 2020 thats a fact lol. when I stamped the image out I was reminded that the card magazine it came with is no longer in circulation and that made me sad, I can't believe how many magazines have come and gone since I started this hobby back in 2005.

Aubrey Sheet Load

Another sheetload card, when I find a design I really like I use it a lot, this design is one of those and the image was already coloured and all i needed to do was create a design that worked around it, the clearly besotted papers were still on my desk and they worked perfectly. 

Lately I have been struggling with both card making and life in general. Ive had a few things that I have needed to deal with medically and they take a toll on your mental health. When i am struggling new designs are beyond the scope for me so I revisit ideas, images, colour combos that I know worked before, there will be a lot of those going forward and I hope that I find my mojo soon.

Get Well for a Friend

 A friend of mine was recently unwell so what better way to let her know I was thinking of her. It’s a simple card but sometimes that’s the best type

Bee Happy

I love the bees from clearly besotted, I have so many of them but the coffee set was a must have, so now I’m asking myself why I haven’t made more of them lol.

Mini Make-up

This is the first version of this card I made, of course it’s the perfect set for girlie girls so I have made more and as usual I tweaked it as I went.

I do love that clearly besotted sets have the background image included as standard, makes it so simple to turn into a card.

I’m back baby

I can not believe it’s February and I haven’t posted since New Year’s Eve!!! I wish there was a reason but it’s just been an incredibly busy month and so far February doesn’t feel any quieter lol.

I have been making, quietly and with less mojo than I hoped so you will notice a theme, lots of revisited designs and batch making. 

This card however is not a direct revisit more a variation on a theme, I used the Kristina Werner merry for Christmas cards so I thought what if I did the same but different with the birthday set. I had to use an older clearly besotted image too and there you have it my first card of 2026.

Blender brushes the final one…..for now

You might recognise this design from much earlier in the year and that is because I was showing my friend the cards during a video chat and she asked for her birthday card to be a teal version lol.

Blender Brushes the return of the rainbow

Another blending brushes card and one made in the sections of the rainbow theme, as I’m writing this post I can feel the urge to make more returning but the million dollar question is monochrome or rainbow lol

New Baby Girl

A good friend of mine was expecting her second baby girl and I wasn't sure what to make when I spotted the Clearly Besotted Baby bees on sale and thought I have an idea, it turned out exactly as I envisioned too.

That stencil again

Another outing for this water stencil from altenew, do you ever start a project and then can’t stop and you are looking for images to make more, this stencil did that to me, I might have made quite a few and only stopped because I didn’t know who they were for lol

I like you axolotl

A different style for me but I will say I like the effect, I used a new to me stencil from altenew and it looks like water. It’s another of the creative fabrica images and I am so happy with how it turned out.

Crafty Bee

When I saw this stamp set in the clearance section of clearly besotted it literally jumped in my basket and I’ve used it already, shock, horror and disbelief lol.

The splat stencil is out again and this time in rainbow, I have no idea how many times I’ve used this stencil but I know it’s a lot.

Super Day

Not quite how I wanted or expected it to turn out but it still works, I should have masked a bit better but there is always next time. I used an older set from clearly besotted and as I bought the new super hero set I might have to make more lol

Cake Splat

The last of these for a while, not the stencil of course that never leaves my desk but the already coloured images lol. Not that I’ve reached the end of them of course I have a lot and I mean a lot still to use up. Maybe that should be my mission what I haven’t used by the end of next year I throw away!!!!

Honey Splat

This is a newer to me stencil from Clearly Besotted, I do love their stencils and have quite the collection, another of the already coloured images and a simple stencil just makes it pop.
