hi i'm Michelle, I am 39 years old. I'm married to matt, with 2 children. William 13 yrs old and Isobel aged 7. I started making cards in 2010 as a way to relax after suffering with postnatal depression. Unfortunately with working life and having our second child, Isobel. who has additional needs, my crafting got pushed to one side. Having recently renovated our new house I've been able to have my own crafty space again. I'm loving unboxing all my old supplies, and buying new of course. Its mainly card making I'm enjoying, but also had a little dabble in crochet and sewing over lockdown. I've decided to keep using my blog as a place to record all my makes, if only for myself. it was a real trip down memory lane when I found this again after 8 years!!! Of course id love to share my makes with others and learn from you all along the way.

christmas heart garland!

We have put our christmas decorations up today and its got me feeling all christmassy! I decided to make a garland for the firplace to hang my 'special' christmas cards. It was very simple to make actually. I used 2 sized xcut scalloped heart dies to cut out decorative papers, mounted onto some thick cardstock. I then attached cheap wooden pegs to the backs. used the fiskars tool to punch holes and then threaded them all through some rustic string! Im very pleased with the results!
