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 <><

Merry Monday Berries Card Challenge


The Merry Monday challenge this week was berries. Well with a very busy week, two birthday cards, hubbies anniversary card and a 75th birthday cake to bake, ice and decorate before Saturday, I wasn't going to enter this week. But then I felt a bit mean not taking part and it all adds to my stash of Christmas cards so I made the quickest card I could think of.  Stamping holly, berries and mounting some of them onto card for a 3-D effect.  A simple stamp with Seasons Greetings and a touch of gold smudged around the edge of the card and done!

      Oh I am pleased you can see some merit in my card Chris, they wanted berries so I thought I would give them berries and plenty of them.... More berries than anything else.

      Thank you Sandee, there are some gold berries as well to link in with the edging but the photo didn't show them as gold
