Greetings oh crafty ones! I think we'd all be lost without that certain someone special in our lives. The person who makes us happy when we're down, the person who listens to our worries when we're full of angst and the person to cuddle up with when we climb into bed at night. But whether it be a family member, a partner, a brother, sister, mum or next door neighbour, we all have those people in our lives who make us glad to be alive. The following card, made from All Kinds Of Everything from the A-May-Zing range is for that person. I hope they enjoy receiving it as much as I enjoyed making it.

It's definitely a sign that you're getting older when you turn on the radio or log onto a website to discover that yet another famous person who shaped your life into what you are today has sadly passed away.

Not that they're a bad thing - far from it - I just wanted to make cards for the guys that are a little more funky!
Here is a really simple card which should put a smile on any male's...

The weather may have been a bit overcast and the seas may have been a bit choppy but nothing was going to spoil the excitement, adventure and fun we've just had on the first ever Create And Craft Cruise. It was fabulous! Leonie, Shaun and myself have been talking about it for months so it was wonderful to finally have our cases packed, our crafty bits and pieces at the ready and head off to Hull to catch the Ocean Countess last week. Anchors away!
The idea of the cruise was to spend four days bobbing along on the ocean waves (and boy, did they bob!) as we headed for Amsterdam and then onto...

Hello everybody - here we are again, ready for some more top notch yet oh-so-simple crafting from my All Kinds Of Everything CD-Rom - the first in the A-May-Zing range. This card is all about one of the most popular things in the crafting world - butterflies! I love them and think that they make any card look ultra slick, highly feminine and gorgeously lavish. So here's what you'll need - hopefully you've got your CD-Rom at the ready and you're all set to print out and play!
To make this card you will need to print off the following sheets:
One of the Butterflies Decoupage sheets - found,...
