This is the start of an inspiration patch, where I hope that fellow scrappers and creators will come and find some inspiration, or even leave some inspiration for me.

Anniversary Card - 49andMarket

 Hello Crafty Friends

Today I am sharing an anniversary card for my parents, that recently had their 55th anniversary.

I used the 49andMarket Curators Botanical and Vintage Artistry Naturalist. These are really 2 of my most favourite collections.


I layered up some old graph paper, along with various bits and bobs from the two 49andMarket collections. I then also added some Penelope Dee chipboard pieces.

This is what the inside looked like.


There were a number of us to sign and leave messages, so I created several places for this.

On the right hand side I created a pocket, which held a card and a tag.


My parents were really thrilled with the card and that obviously made me very happy! :-)

Here is a pic of the old foggies too! :-)


It's so rare these days that people stay married for so many years! It surely is an achievement and a wonderful milestone.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a fabulous day!

Salt Water Therapy Layout - Penelope Dee Tidal Florals

 Hello Everyone

It has been a very long time since I have posted on my blog and I hope to say that I am back.

Life and COVID happened, along with buying a shop and running it with my sister. So yes, life has been busy but I have been crafting and creating all the way, in the background and also for classes.

So today I am sharing a DT project for Penelope Dee, using the gorgeous Tidal Florals collection.


The photo was from a little holiday, 3 weeks back at Salt Rock. It was such a lovely holiday and such needed sustinence for my soul.


I did some watercolour effects on the background and then added the photo, along with chippies, twine string and fussy cut bits from the collection.

I wanted to keep the focus on the photo though and so kept the cluster down the right-hand side of the photo.


I love the twine string in between, it added texture and really gave a beachy feel.

I coloured the chippies with Dsitress Oxide - Peeled Paint, Lucky Clover and Bundled Sage.


Thanks ever so much for stopping by. I really hope you will pop back soon and check out soooo many projects that I have lined up to share.

Have a beautiful Sunday!
