Every now and then, I think there is so much more to life than just work and earning money. As much as I have enjoyed and am thankful to my new job for the past 6 months, I admit that on the other hand I have somewhat been neglecting my blog, my creative mind and love of all things craft, handmade and vintage.

But it’s this that has suddenly inspired me to blog again (and hopefully will let me find that balance again of blogging more). My creative sister, Esther got me back into cardmaking and papercraft! I did start here and here. But she has built a great collection of supplies to inspire me to make cards on regular occasions. I realise it’s nice to have something else to come home to and enjoy, take my mind off work, a creative hobby that you dream of making into an etsy store!

It is my sister Vanessa’s 30th birthday today, Happy Birthday Nessy! I made this card for her, an ocean whale with a big blue felt 30 and waves:


Here is another card I made, from my sis’ owl puncher, he sits on a green branch against an embossed red background and even has a little blue heart. Who doesn’t love owls?


I love cards and how something so simple can mean a lot to someone and put a big smile on their face. I am always meticulous in choosing the right card and writing a message from the heart. And don’t you think handmade cards make the gift of card giving that extra special and thoughtful?
