2022 was a hard year for me. Losing my wonderful mother to this horrible disease on the day that my amazing husband, Nathan came out of hospital, May 10th, after having survived a heart attack, which led to cardiac arrest, was the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. The emotions were strong and hard to explain. So I'm doing this for mum, think it's going to help me process it all and try to carry on with my life. It's hard, every day I struggle, but I'm going to soldier on and make my mum proud of me, regardless.
So let's all help kick this disease in to touch, raise money and find a cure. Your support is very much appreciated. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart xx

Natalie's Walk All Over Cancer Giving Page I haven't posted since losing my mum to cancer last May but I think it's time to come back and do this in her memory. Now let's see if I can do her proud and achieve my steps in March and beat this horrid disease. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m fundraising right now for Cancer Res...

It's been a while since I posted in the group, so I thought I'd share a super fun and quick funfold card with you all. I've used the beautiful 'Daffodil daydream' stampset to create it along with a bit of fussy cutting and colouring in using my stampin' blends. I love how it turned out!

Today I have a card to share with you all, which I made for the SUOC #294 where the theme this time was for Valentine's day. I chose to use the delightful bundle from Stampin' Up! called Ranunculus Romance. This has such pretty images in it, which I thought would be great for a Valentine's card and so this is what I created. You can see how I made it over on my blog..........

Well who can believe we're into february already!..... where has the time gone? As it's a tuesday I thought I would share what I've created for my Craftalong tuesday over on my blog. I love to see bright and happy colours and thought a rainbow would be great to create just that. The gorgeous 'Rainbow of Happiness' bundle alongside the 'Sharing Sunshine' stampset, I think go together so lovely making an already happy card even more happy!...............

Well it's that time again, where I share with you all what I've created for my Craftalong tuesday blog post. Today I decided to get out a new bundle and some of the bits that go with it from the Artfully composed suite from Stampin' Up!. The leaf dies that are in the bundle are so lovely and the stampset that co ordinates with it is jut gorgeous! The ribbon as you can see is just great for fraying, enabling you to use the thread to wrap around things and then the frayed threads add such a lovely bit of texture to your project. it's amazing I love it!..............
You can see how I created my this over on the link and there you can see the products I used to create todays card.

I've been having some fun making these over on my blog today. These Daffodil Daydream stamps and dies are just soooo pretty, and there are so many occasions that they can be used for too. What's even better are the papers I've used are from the sale a-bration items which means with a qualifying spend you get them free!

Over on my blog today I have a really fun, front pop out card for you to see. I'm having so much fun playing with the new 'HoneyBee Home ' bundle that I just couldn't resist making one of these cards. I think that the vellum piece that's embossed using the 3D hive embossing folder looks just like a piece of honeycomb.... I love it!

So I haven't been up to much today. Had my booster jab yesterday evening and got a very achy arm. But I have managed to make a card for a colour challenge using Daffodil delight, Cajun craze and Soft succulent don't the colours look fab together. It was a simple card using the large Daisy Garden stamp making it easier for my arm lol hope you're all having a fab day!

Hi everyone, not sure if you'll remember but last week I shared a card I'd made using the gorgeous Merry snowflakes bundle and the beautiful Whimsy & Wonder papers from Stampin' Up! Well this week I've made a card with the same products and the same colours, but I've used the circle that was die cut out of last weeks card to create this one......... love using everything it's such fun creating with the bits that are leftover.

Today I have a cute little card over on my blog for my Craftalong tuesday post, which I've made using the really beautiful 'Whimsy and Wonder' papers and the gorgeous 'Merry snowflakes' bundle. The dies within this bundle are just so pretty, each of them have a stitched effect on them adding interest to them. The ribbon is actually the 'White Organdy' ribbon which I have coloured using my Mint maacaron stampin' blend! I think it really finishes the card off beautifully. https://craftyhunnypots.blogspot.com/2021/11/craftalong-tuesday-stitched.html

This afternoon I've been playing with colours for a colour challenge over on CCC #10 The colours are Basic Gray, Mossy Meadow and Pacific Point, now these aren't colours I would normally put together, but I'm quite pleased with how they look together using the 'Peaceful Cabin' bundle, I'm so loving this set.....

I've made this for the SUOC #286 theme being Halloween. Now I'm not someone that does Halloween, but as it was this weeks theme I embraced it.

I really love these gorgeous vibrant colours together, think they really give a pop to your project. You can see how to create this over on my blog.
