Aahhh Autumn, the most beautiful time of year! As the seasons roll around again I occasionally like to go back though my older seasonal kits and share some new projects created with that kit, and also once in a while I like to add something to the half price special deal days over at The …
We’re heading towards the most colourful time of year (and my favourite season to draw!) – the leaves are already starting to change colour here. I love creating Autumn and Fall illustrations, there’s something about the gloriously rich colours and all that harvest goodness that really speaks to me! This month’s Featured Kit has a …
Many thanks to everyone who played along with August’s challenge, it was lovely going through the galleries and seeing all the “cornered” layouts popping up!

I’m so excited to share a project that has been on my drawing board for a while now – my new and improved website! It has been a labour of love (and occasional frustration!) for a while now and I’m thrilled to finally launch it! Here’s a sneak peak of the new look shop: Not …
Many thanks to everyone who played along with last month’s challenge and scrapped with the template, it was fun to see all the “stars and stripes” layouts pop up in the gallery!

This month’s Featured Kit was inspired by my car-loving son and was made specially so I could scrapbook some photos of him driving a Legoland car round the racetrack, over and over again! (Here’s one of the layouts I made with the kit!) If you have a car-lover or a racing aficionado in your family …
It’s time for another peek inside my bullet journal! I’ve continued this year in the same A5 dotted notebook as last year, adding spreads and lists as I go. I really like the flexibility of an undated planner – if I miss a week here or there there are no big empty pages staring at …

Please message me over at the The Lilypad for details of how to claim your prize Jan! This month’s template has a nod to 4th of July celebrations with its …
For the last couple of years I’ve been using my sketchbook as a place to experiment with colour and pattern and to try out new materials, rather than somewhere to work on my drawing technique. My sketchbooks have become more of an art journal project for me – something to dip in and out and …
This month’s Featured Kit is an old favourite of mine (and is a set that has the distinction of including what I think must be the illustration that has taken me the longest to draw, ever – so many little leaves on that big old tree!) – Family Tree is this month’s Featured Kit! If …

Today I’m sharing some more sketchbook doodles and patterns inspired by some of the classes and our family holidays to beautiful Cornwall! I …
I’m sharing some lovely layouts from the Creative Team today, all created with my new Scotland the Brave doodles! When I picked the winners of the Custom Doodle Content earlier this year I must admit that I was really pleased to see “Scotland doodles” come out of the hat first, especially as a couple of my …
This month’s Featured Kit is an old favourite I created after my first Race For Life fun run – hence the silly bunny ears and pink tutu! I was quite the sight jogging through the forest in my tutu, cowboy hat and feather boa. Luckily I wasn’t the only one all glammed up, there was …

There are some new old kits in the shop today! I’m continuing to work through my older doodle packs and create the coordinating stamps for them (not too many left to finish now – whoo-hoo!!) and sometimes when I work on older sets I find myself amending and adding to the collection in the process. …
I need to preface this blog post by saying that if you are not a fan of spiders, or snakes, or creepy-crawlies you might want to look away now (or at least not scroll to the bottom of this page!) – there are layouts with LOTS of spiders below! This month’s Featured Kit is packed …

My pal Sara created these super cute Easter bag toppers that I am so excited to share with you today! I love bag toppers because they are so simple to make up (just print, cut out and fold over a bag of your favourite treats) and you can personalise them to make extra special little …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! If you’re celebrating today I hope you have a great time and enjoy everything the day has to offer! Although it’s not a holiday we celebrate, I always love seeing all the St Patrick’s Day related antics on social media, especially the leprechaun traps! (I have to admit that I’m fascinated …
A little while ago I came across the most amazing hybrid pop-up box cards (created with my doodles!) and I’m SO excited to be able to share them with you today! I’m always a little bit in awe of papercrafters and the amazing creations they make, especially as my own scissor skills are very limited! …
