I’ve continued my mini house creating in a Christmas theme! First I made a little Peppermint House, a variation on a Gingerbread House. I used red striped paper as the base of the house wall colour and then added window frames and candy canes painted with stripes and covered with Glossy Accents, and I covered…
Welcome to my first post for Southern Girls Challenge Design Team! The theme for this challenge is ‘Anything Goes’ so I thought I’d share with you my December Daily. My book is 4 inches square, and I used Distress Oxides for the background of this cover. I added die cuts of the ornaments and gingerbread…
I’ve recently discovered Jot Magazine, there is some great inspiration in the magazine and on their website. I decided to create a layout using their November Mood Board – see it here. I love the yellow and turquoise in this mood board an found this picture of me aged 11 month in Kerikeri that was…
Wow, it is so long since I wrote a blog post! Not that I haven’t been creating, just not blogging about it… I thought I’d share with you my latest love, creating mini houses with the Tim Holtz Village dies. These dies come with the base buildings – the Dwelling and the Brownstone; then you can…

Welcome back! It’s that time of the month again, 12 Tags of 2015 time, based on Tim Holtz’s April Tag. As usual I made a few changes: I used my flower stamps but didn’t have a stem so used a permanent marker and drew them in! I coloured using Tim’s technique, and I thought this…
