I love participating in different card making challenges, I find they push me to try things I wouldn’t think of. Today is another example of that with a colour challenge. So Saffron, Rococco Rose and Mint Macaron. I love all three of these colours, but probably would not put them together in a card if someone didn’t tell me to!

As adults, it can be difficult to make new friends, and to find someone new that you really ‘click’ with, is very special. This summer I have been blessed to find a new girlfriend.

A smile, a kind word, a small gesture, can all make a big difference in someone’s day, so let’s all get out there and shine.
Read MoreWhat a wonderful, inspirational message - Be Strong, Be Happy, Be You. I have loved this stamp since I first saw it, and today I used it for a Clean and Simple card.
Read MoreWhat female doesn’t like diamonds? Not too many I don’t think. To be told we are like a diamond, resilient, strong and beautiful is truly a compliment. That is the message for my card.
