This little bundle of joy turned 1 this week, isn’t she a cutie? I know I’m might be a little biased about my youngest niece 💖

It was fun getting creative making her a sweet birthday card. The alphabet a la mode dies are perfect for milestone birthdays and adding numbers to your handmade cards 🥳

Today I got to create with some of my fellow demonstrators - I even did some scrapbooking which was more fun than I remember. Will share the completed layouts once I’ve added photos !

This was a local meet up in Lincoln and we made cards to swap with one another and gave us chance to catch up with familiar faces and make new friends. It’s not just a business it’s a community that loves to share creativity 🥰

PS I forgot to take a photo of my swap so I’ll make some more up so you can see them !

It’s been a rollercoaster ride this week but today my Crafty Cuppa class was just what I needed to switch off and quieten my mind 🥰

Plus my ladies were very happy with their card making today. This in person class runs every 3rd Friday of the month and can be booked directly on my website

How do you switch off at the end of a rollercoaster week?

Love making and sending a birthday card 🥳

Happy Valentine’s and Galentine’s to you all - a day for thinking about those you love ❤️

This is a great little tip for your cardmaking. I think it would be fun to do for someone’s name on a card.

What else might you use it for instead of butterflies?

It was a very special little girl’s 1st birthday today so with 2 other friends organising the presents and wrapping them. I was tasked with making the card and gift tags.

The numbers represent a present for each month starting today and lasting through to November next year - it’s a gift that keeps giving 🥳🎉🩷

PS ignore the Christmas greetings in the corner I was making the most of my grid paper before I switched to a new piece 😂
