Ok here goes with the boring stuff lol .....................

I got into making cards over a year ago now and got into it purely by coincedence. I was on holiday with my hubby and inlaws and was out shopping and noticed this different card shop so thought wow going into have a nosey as me and hubby have for at least 8 years now bought each other a handmade card. I was looking round and like what I saw but when looked at the price (not that I'm cheap) but just got fed up for paying for something that was nice but wasnt necessarily saying what I wanted it to say so hereby my new started.

I came home from the holidays and not really looking into it went to my nearest hobbycraft and just bought a whole load of stuff including sale christmas items, lots of embellishments and some cards and envelopes and got set to work. My first couple of cards considering I was new weren't too bad but decided if I wanted to do anything with my cards then embellishments was going to be too costly especially as people had started to ask me to make cards for them so I wanted to keep the cost down.

After looking on the internet at craft sites I came across the Docrafts website so joined up and went and had a looked. I found the information there invaluable and I still go on regularly to keep up to date and I also like to take part in some of the swaps. But it was here in this site I found some good friends especially Denise who has been a saint she has helped me so much that I dont know what I can say or do to thank her but I will find something. Denise has helped me bring my cards along a long way by introducing me to other techniques that dont have to be so costly in the long run. I have been sent lots of nice things to help me get started and that has included die cuts and stamps so Denise you are my craft angel thank you.

At the moment I am loving digi stamps and stamping, my favourite stamps are the Popcorn the Bear they are so cute, I have just recently purchased the S.W.A.L.K. set from crafters companion and wow I can only say these are perfect for the ladies. In learning all about stamping I have had to learn about the right ink to use as my other favourite craft item is my Pro-marker pens which allow me to colour in my images and boy do I love these pens hurry up christmas so I can ask santa to bring me some more. I also like doing decoupage but its not right for every occasion so only do it when its appropriate.

For my christmas last year my hubby bought me my cuttlebug which I have only really started getting the use out of it recently. But what a smasher of a machine it is. The cuttlebug allows me to die cut and emboss images so for someone who started out buying loads of embellishments this is my new way of getting them but of course I will still buy them when I need to. I have recently been told about the spellbinders nestabilities so bought myself a set when I was at the Craft Fair at the SECC in March but even more recently I purchased a nellie snellen and Marianne design die plates and they are gorgeous cant wait to add to my collection.
