My new years resolution this year was to actually use some of the crafty goodies I have bought rather than just stroke them and store them.!  So, for my card, I once again delved into my box of stash.

This time, I used elements of card and toppers from either Kanban or Hunkydory (sorry - removed the packaging so I am not sure which!) and simply layered them up onto a base card cut to 6" x 5.5" from an A4 piece of plain card.

I am taking the bike and the helmet to be the "technology/gadget" element of the challenge.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!
