📷 Hiking up hills and mountains (especially while trying to keep up with Mike's family) is made all the more cumbersome while carrying a heavy DSLR bag. I often wonder why I'm carrying all that equipment around with me - especially while stumbling over roots in a forest or getting my boot stuck in a bog. But then I come out into a clearing and look around me and see a view like this, and all that effort seems worth it, for a second. 🌳🌲 I know this looks like a photo I took somewhere very exotic, but it's actually one I took this summer on a tiny island off the coast of Skye in Scotland. To get there, you have to drive for hours through mountains and round lochs, take a huge soaring bridge over onto the Isle of Skye, drive around a few more mountains and then take a small ferry across the sea. The island has one road, a hotel, and a distillery, and it was beautifully picturesque. So picturesque, it seems a damn shame to keep all my photos confined to a hard drive 🤷 #skye #raasay #scotland #highlands #scottishhighlands #hiking #canonm3

Gloomy and rainy today so here's a fun bright card ☁️ If you know me you'll know I love lemons - I can't resist anything with a lemon on it 🤪 Shirts, makeup bags, necklaces, knickers, pajamas, prints, and especially craft supplies 😏 but limes are pretty cool too I guess - you can make mojitos with those 🍸 This stamp set was definitely meant to be lemons but I thought I'd colour it in green for a change 🤷 Finished all my tasks for today (and got dinner in the slow cooker) so I'm off to make more cards, and more importantly, drink gin 🍹 ✨✨✨ Supply list: Stamp set, dark green gems and 'Sweet Wishes' Die from AliExpress Stamped with @tsukineko_official Versafine Onyx Black and coloured with @flyingtiger Alcohol Markers and @sakuraofamerica Gelly Roll Lime patterned paper is from @theworksstores Make & Create Mix & Match Summer Fruits Design Pad (only £1!) ✨ #cardmaking #handmadecard #handmadecards #lime #papercraft

Is it too early to nap? 😴 As ever, I have a to-do list about 10 feet long (which includes watering my 21 houseplants) but I would very much like to go back to bed please 🤷 🌱 #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantdiary #interiorstyle #afternoontea

It's been a little while since I posted a card (I've been mega busy with my side hustle) but here's one I made for my dear friend @saschathefierce ❤️ As with almost all my cards, I had no idea how this would turn out (just had an idea of colour scheme) but was so pleased with the result 👏 Almost as beautiful as the main girl herself 😏 🎨 Supply list 👇 @trimcraft Dovecraft Mirror Card embossed with @wowembossing Clear Gloss Embossing Powder Stamps from @aliexpress stamped with @tsukineko_official Versafine Onyx Black, coloured with @flyingtiger Alcohol Markers Enamel dots also from AliExpress with tiny Simply Creative Clear Gems ✌️ #embossing #heatembossing #jennifermcguireink #dovecraft #aliexpress #aliexpressstamp #clearstamp #stamping #stamp #rubberstamp #tigermarkers #alcoholmarkers #cardmaking #handmadecard #handmadecards #papercraft #papercrafts #teal #pink #colourpalette #helloimhandmade #handmadeisbetter #birthdaycard

When you pick 3 random colours and it just... Works 🤷 I've been practicing with alcohol markers and I'm absolutely no expert, but they're a lot of fun. I'm slowly getting the hang of blending with them - they're a lot more forgiving than I thought they'd be. Products used: First Edition Paper Flowers Paper Pad & Dovecraft Glitter Card from @trimcraft @flyingtiger Alcohol Markers @pentel_official Fineliners @wowembossing Shaved Ice Embossing Powder Stamps from AliExpress 🐦 #cardmaking #handmadecard #parrot #cockatoo #colourful #colorlover #aliexpress #trimcraft #firsteditionpaper #handmadecards #alcoholmarkers #copicart #flyingtiger #papercraft #wowembossing #stamping #clearstamp

It's almost a year since we've moved in now and our fireplace is still my favourite spot in the house 🏡 The best part of winter is when Mike starts lighting the fire again every night and we get to sit in front of it all cosy 🔥 Before it get truly cold though, there's still time to re-pot some of my houseplant children as they were getting to big for their current homes 🌱 Some have doubled and even tripled in size since we adopted them 🤙 Slowly realising my dream of turning our little house into a hippie jungle 🌿 🌿🌿 #houseplant #houseplants #newhome #homedecor #fireplace #interiors #houseplantdiary #logburner #firsttimebuyer #ourhome

All I could think about was ice lollies, and I needed to make a birthday card, fast... So this happened 🍦🍭 📜 Papers from First Edition Chasing Rainbows and Paper Addicts Colour Pop - both by @trimcraft ✂️ Dies, wood texture stamp and sequins all from AliExpress ✒️ Also used my trusty Versafine Vintage Sepia ink for the wood texture stamp! ✨ #cardmaking #cardmakers #handmadecards #handmadecard #aliexpress #diecut #diecutting #trimcraft #firsteditionpaper #firsteditioncraft #paperaddicts #chasingrainbows #holographic #iridescent #papercraft #papercrafts #craftroom #craftdesk #helloimhandmade #handmadeisbest #handmadeisbetter #cardmaker #icelollies #icelolly #summercard

Life is a lot like climbing a mountain, really, isn't it? 🏞️ There's plenty of times you think you're almost at the top, but then you'll go over a crest and realise there's still a long, long way to go. You can stay where you are, complain your legs hurt, and proclaim adamantly you can't go any further, but that won't make your journey any shorter, or the summit any nearer. Most people find it hard going it alone, and find solace in someone being beside you, telling you that you CAN do it - even as your trainers are stuck in a bog and you've slid back more steps than you've taken. Along the journey, you might find someone much younger than you progressing faster, or higher: but you'll do well to remember their climb has no bearing on yours, because everyone's pace is different. And at long last when you finally do reach the top - it might not be the top you expected after all. There might not be snow, or a flag, or it might not be the highest peak around. It just might be your family with a picnic instead - and sometimes, that's a whole lot better. ☺️ 🌄 Good luck with your mountain ✌️ 🌿🌿🌿 #scotland #skye #travel #mountain #ukbloggers #landscape #canon #canonm3 #dslrphotography #dslr

Super proud of my angels @empricee and @jdhazelwood for joining the homeowner club! What better way to celebrate than by making them a very overcomplicated greetings card? 🤷 Wishing you many happy years in your new home - be round soon for a gin or five 🍹 🏡🏡 #handmadecard #handmadecards #cardmaking #cardmakers #cardmakinghobby #diecutting #diecuts #shakercard #helloimhandmade #firsttimehomebuyer #newhome #newhomeowner #papercrafts #papercrafting #paperaddicts #cardmaker #handmadeisbetter #handmadeisbest #papercraft
