Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. I hope, wherever you are, that you are experiencing some lovely weather. Adelaide has been cold and overcast for weeks but, today, we finally have some sun!! It's still pretty cold though so all I can say is "Bring on the summer"!!!! OK, down to business ... I have another card to share with you. A very masculine and quite 'grungy' card as my title suggests. I distressed all the edges with my Ingvild Bolme Distressy Tool and inked them with 'Gathered…

Over at the KaiserCraft Blog, they are having a challenge where the theme for the month of August is COGS! Well, of course I could not resist, could I? First I ordered the paper pack, die and stencil... Then I set about looking at the delicious paper and die cuts for two weeks...

It's another version of the tunnel card I've been making by altering Karen Burniston's Accordion Rectangle die. Go HERE to check it out!

You can find all the supplies I used at Elizabeth Craft Designs…

Hello dear visitors and welcome to my blog. A very special welcome to my new followers. Thank you so much for joining me on my crafty journey! It's been a while since I last posted. I have managed to get into my craft room once in a while but haven't been able to complete any of the projects I've been working on so I thought I would share another of the man cards I created a while ago. A fairly simple card made with two layers of some older Kaisercraft papers. For a bit of texture and…
