Lots of new things this week.  Firstly a big thank you to Edna for being our Guest Designer during June.  It was a pleasure to work with you and your designs were absolutely stunning.  See you around in blogland!

We have to say goodbye to Pat too.  Unfortunately due to other commitments, Pat wasn't able to stay on with our Design Team.  We'll miss you hun but big thanks from us all for your wonderfully inspiring designs.  We will all be keeping in touch in blogland, and we'd love to see you joining in with our challenges when you have time.   Our 3 new DT girls are showcasing their first designs with us this week.

Now an introduction to Kevin who is our Guest Designer for July.  It's lovely to have some male influence!


My name is Kevin, ive been card making for about 5 years now, I started card making when i had to pack up work due to ill health, my wife got me started and ive never looked back, being blind in one eye has not stopped me, it just takes me a bit longer to produce my finished cards.

New DT Members


Hi folks!  That's us into July now and time for a slight change in our DT.  We have been very lucky that Daniele, Lizy, Lorraine and Wendy have agreed to stay on with us permanently.  Thank you girls!

We have three new teamies who will be with us until the end of December.  We are all looking forward to working with them and hope they will enjoy their time with us.

Welcome to



I am now a stay at home mum for my gorgeous little boy James, who is fast becoming a little baby genius as well as a little terror. I worked for years in customer support management but gave it all up for a bit to look after my little lad. Now I make cards for fun but am still a novice. Blog hopping gives me inspiration for that next project :)



My name is Lisbeth and I live in Rost in Norway. I like all kinds of crafts and hobbies, but keep mostly to handmade cards and scrapbooks. I have two little children aged  9 and 10 years. 




I'm married with one son who is at University studying music. Having always loved colouring and making things since childhood I decided to have a go at making cards. I was inspired by the many beautiful cards I found on various web sites, favouring alot of the american styles and techniques.

The new girls will be joining us for the first time with our challenge on 9 July  ....  join us to see what they come up with!

Challenge #107

Hi challengers and followers!  I hope everyone in the UK enjoyed the Jubilee Celebrations.  It was a pity that the weather was disappointing for everyone in London although the Queen still managed to look radiant.

Our challenge of Make it Girly was popular and we can't believe how diverse the designs were.  It's a pleasure having so many of you take part.  Thank you to those who applied to be on the DT, we will put our heads together and the successful candidates will be notified on 16 June.

A heads up on the latest CD, Everyday Occasions, from Ooh La La Creations.  It will be launched on Create & Craft on Friday 6 July at 10am and repeated at 1pm.

Unfortunately we have to say bye to Debby as she was only with us for May. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful designs with us. See you around in blogland hun!

This month we are lucky to have another brilliant designer.  Welcome Edna (aka Rosietoes).

Here is a little bit about Edna
I love trying out different techniques and generally just having a lot of fun on the way. I am a wife, mother and grandmother of two lovely, lively boys.  I love paper crafting and making cards in particular. I also read a lot and my Kindle is a great favourite!
