Every now and then I find I've run out of little notecards and I'm nearly at that point again. So for today's simple Sunday project I thought that's what I'd make. With it's simple sentiments and bold images I chose the Wood Words Stamp Set, but ended up using the large floral image ... VIEW POST
Gift Bag Punch Board Rediscovered
Continuing my quest to rediscover some of my less used craft products, I came across the Gift Bag Punch Board. I'm ashamed to say that it's probably over a year since I last used this tool. It's stored in a rack at the end of my workbench next to my Big Shot so it's easily accessible. Why it's ... VIEW POST
Garden Trellis and Accented Blooms
Today's card project uses the Garden Trellis Textured Impressions Embossing Folder® and Accented Blooms Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Wink of Stella is simply beautiful
Confession time. I was very late to the party when it came to Wink of Stella Glitter Brushes. I'd come across them in some craft stores but never actually bought one. I suppose at the time I must have thought they were a bit like glitter glue which I had no use for. Of course once a friend let ... VIEW POST
Blue roses and thank you
When I was growing up I remember my late Mum being delighted when she found blue roses for her garden with a bush called 'Blue Moon'. They weren't really blue, but it got me thinking about the range of colours found in particular flowers. In my papercrafting I do like to ring the changes and blue ... VIEW POST
Cowboy Boots and Country Livin’
This morning when I sat down to create today's project my mind was a complete blank. As I waited for some kind of inspiration I decided I'd make a birthday card. Still nothing came to me, so I started looking through some papercraft challenge e-mails that had come through over the past couple of ... VIEW POST
Lone Pine Tree – Thinking of You
Just recently a couple of friends have both lost close members of their family. Sympathy card are hard to make but I know first hand how comforting it is to receive them.
