Hello all. I am a Nursery Nurse working with special needs children within a main stream school and love it. I have worked as a NN for 34 years and wouldn't change for anything. I have always crafted in some way or another since the age of 7. At present I do a bit of patchwork and quilting, jewellery making and card making.

Docrafts Me to You first card with stamps..
This is the first card I have made using the Docrafts Digital Designer Me to You cd's and Stamps.
I coloured the bear using my promarkers and cut the mat with my nestability dies.
I stumbled across your blog. Always a pleasure seeing another crafter getting pleasure from what they do.
Your cards are more sophisticated than anything I have done.
I sometimes make my own Christmas cards, I make lino cuts and print them on my old hand press.
Im'e a gilder and use gold leaf and imitation gold leaf rather a lot.
Have you thought of gilding onto paper?
It's really quite easy to gild onto paper, there are now modern gold sizes that are simple to use, and there are various ways to create antique and distressed finishes as well., like the crackle glaze and antique glaze.
If you have a moment, pop over to my site, there is quite a lot about gilding onto paper, in particular there is an old bookbinders recipe which you can use to make really authentic looking imitation vellums and parchment papers from ordinary papers.
