About Me

I have been crafting since May 2008, when in desperation to find an unusual birthday card for my Mum, I gave up looking in the shops and decided to have a go at making my own. I soon realised that crafting is addictive and I haven't brought a card since. I am slowly starting to sell my cards now to friends, family and work colleagues. As my confidence has grown I have started to enter Challenges on line and in magazines, and I love having to think outside of my comfort zone to come up with something different. I really like the current trend for vintage and shabby chic. I really enjoy using die cutting in my designs and am just starting to poke my toe in the water with regards to stamping and colouring my own images.

Santa's Little Helpers

Well actually not so little, I guess that the biggest help that Santa gets during the festive season is from his team of reindeer because he'd never manage to get to everyne on foot. So when sorting through my recycling bag I came across these two cards they just cried out to be recycled into a pair of matching cards.



I added some glitter to the hats and coats and tied gingham bows round the gold backing card to balance the designs.

As Crafty Hazelnut is featuring Santa and/or his helpers this week I decided to enter them into her challenge and also into her challenge for March where anything goes as long as it's Christmas.
