What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Personalised stamp jig On Thursday afternoon I went through all the cards I'd made recently, and stamped my "Handmade by..." stamp on the backs of them. I used the jig I made according to Jennifer McGuire's instructions and it works an absolute treat! I made it about…
A What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Sweeping Thanks on Inkscape Last week I showed you the new hot foil plate I got - Spellbinders Sweeping Thanks. This is a nice big sentiment that will fit on a variety of card sizes, even the smallest if you place it diagonally. I checked to…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Sheba (my Cougar cutting machine) has been earning overtime wages this week for all her hard work. Cutting, cutting cutting... lattices and fun with squares. Cracking the Carding Code I think I have finally cracked the code with card making. For too many years I've had a…

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? I'm continuing to work on my die storage. We went to the Range last week and I bought some nice plastic baskets to store things in. The next question was, where do I store the baskets that I bought to store things in? I really like the…
I wasn't able to share this last week, but I am sure Cindy has received it by now so I won't spoil the surprise. This card is to say a big thank you to Cindy for the gift of her ToDo foiling machine, which I received shortly before I went into hospital for…
