Hi, Welcome To My Blog

I love various different types of crafts and have had a dabble at most over the years, some with greater success than others. I believe that apart from loving and giving, being creative is the next most important thing to do. There is something about being creative that taps into something deep within us that makes us feel good with the world. But then we were made in the image of God, God The Creator... so I guess being creative will be second nature to us if we allow. The problem is that many people will not have a go because they make the mistake of measuring themselves against others... and that is just not a good thing to do. I create because I like to create, not because I have to impress anyone else or be better than anyone else. I created this blog with a lot of help from my son-in-law, as a personal scrap book that I am happy to share with others if they wish to take a look.... Enjoy <><

Mandy's Cowgirl Birthday Card

My daughter had been invited to Mandy's cowboy themed birthday party.

Mandy had had a caricature of herself drawn and I used a copy of this to make the card.

I printed off the drawing, and coloured it in using watercolour pencils and covered the hat in diamante.

The stripey background was created by getting a piece of white paper, putting it under the grill and then burning the edges using matches to create the old wanted type poster.

I was thrilled to hear she was so pleased with this card that she is having it framed.... I just hope the glue on the diamante is strong!
