I’ve been playing with (one of) the new Marie Antoinette sheets of stamps from Home Impressions. I was originally going to make this a little fabric book, but I changed my mind and created a wall-hanging or stamped fabric collage to send to Ria for her shop in The Netherlands. I really liked this sheet and chose [...]

Diane at Mixed Media Monday has challenged us to use “stitches” in our artwork this week. Lately that seems to be no issue for me, as I have been happily using my sewing machine again. Yesterday I found a small piece of fabric which inspired me to create this piece.

I had a bit of fun tonight scraping paint across cardstock for ATC backgrounds – ready for upcoming swaps and then put this little fabric arch together. I cannot remember where the image is [...]

It’s a good friend’s birthday tomorrow and I have been designing my head off and completing projects all over the place lately. I sat down to make her a card to send with her present last night and decided that I really wanted to make her a present instead. Bearing in mind it was past [...]

This is one of my favourite vintage images. I don’t know whether these girls are sisters, but they look as though they share a very strong bond and that’s what true friendship means to me. Diane picked this theme for MMM this week.

Dans ma maison, il y a… du blanc, which is white this week! I loved making this little fabric house – the image I used is from Crafty Individuals miniatures and the remainder is totally recycled fabric and flowers and buttons.

That’s this week’s Mixed Media Monday challenge. I started out sewing a pocket for a tea bag… to put on a card, but I liked the card background so much that I couldn’t cover it all up! So I ended up making a fabric and stuff collage diptych with stamping on the other side!! I [...]

That’s the Created by Hand theme this week, so I’m submitting this card. I made it for a lady in Virginia called Lennie – we don’t know each other, but she sounded such a fascinating character, I just wanted to send her a card! I know, I can be impulsive, but get this: Lennie is [...]
