Bio.
I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.  This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous sponsor, Di's Digi Stamps  for
their continued support.

Plus the design team are offering this super unmounted   
 Gruffie stamp set  to one lucky winner..

Snowman and Friends



Hello friends.

I pulled another snowman stamp, from a big drawer full of snowmen. I do love a snowman.
This beautiful stamp is from Northwoods Rubber Stamp and I have had it
for many years.




This was such a fun image to color with all the wonderful
animal friends this Jolly Snowman has.

We are still buried in snow.  Our city has done a great
job of clearing the roads and the sun is out today so 
hopefully the snow piles will start melting away.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a great day.
Until later.......

LET IT SNOW

Hello friends.  We had 22-25 inches of snow on Wednesday and it
is still piled high because it is so cold here.  So thankful we have
a snow blower, as it took us 3 hours to dig our cars out and do the sidewalks. We live on a corner so we have sidewalks on two sides of our house.

So, I decided to dip into my large drawer full of snowmen stamps
this week and post one each day.  I love snowmen, and have a large
collection of beautiful stamps, so this should be fun.

It has been a long stressful week.
Our precious dog, Keeya got sick last weekend.  We ended up
taking her to our Vet two days and the next day to an Emergency 
Veterinary Hospital, where she ended up spending the night.

So sad to leave her there, she looked at us when we were leaving
like your children do when they are scared.  Heartbreaking.

We picked her up the next day late afternoon.  She wasn't eating
and all the tests came back normal.  So off we went to a specialist
to do a sonogram of her stomach.  That also showed no
signs of anything major.  Meds were prescribed for infection
in her gut.  She has finally started to eat and today was a good
day, she was more like herself.  Scary, like when your children
were little and they couldn't tell you where it hurt.



On to my snowman card.







The snowman stamps are a very old set from Darcies.  
Papers are from Paper Wishes (Hot off the Press)
Colored with Copics
Added various snowflakes from punches. 
The sentiment is from the same set.

Hope I didn't bore you with our doggie saga, but it has
consumed us for the past week.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a great Sunday.
Until later...........
