Yay! A computer malfunction (blue screen of death) has meant I have had to write the last few posts on an Ipad. This was incredibly hard to do and I am sure it is not just the fact that I am a technophobe that caused this… the process was totally unintuitive.

The Card Concept Challenge this week is a colour inspiration of lime and chocolate. I really struggled with this, in fact I didn’t think I would have anything in lime green to use. After searching through my stash however I came across one piece of lime green paper. No pressure involved then – just one… Read More The Card Concept #5

Three things struck me when I saw Lisa’s card; purple, polka dots and scallops, so I decided to incorporate these into my card.
