Normally I wouldn't subject you to three days of projects using the same stamp set but for the new limited availability Blended Seasons I decided to make an exception. Partly because it arrived 10 days later than I'd originally expected, but also because I wanted to make sure you saw the at least some of the versatility of the stamp set and coordinating Stitched Seasons Framelits before these go on limited release on Wednesday. These Framelits are amazing and even if you don't get the stamp ... VIEW POST
Tag talk
After waiting far too long for UPS to deliver the new limited availability Blended Seasons Stamp Set and coordinating Stitched Seasons Framelits they've barely left my craft desk. I had a feeling I'd have fun with this set and I have certainly not been disappointed Sadly I have a very busy day ahead of me with things that I absolutely must get done. So I've decided that I'll do those things first and reward myself with some gratuitous crafting later. For now though, here's a quick gift ... VIEW POST
Blended Seasons are coming!
If you've been following my blog you'll know that my most recent order from Stampin' Up! has been a little tardy. It finally arrived yesterday, and while I'm happy to have now completed my collection of all the new ink pad colors, I'm delighted to finally be able to get my hands on the new Blended Seasons Stamp Set and coordinating Seasonal Frames Framelits Dies. Mr UPS was barely out of the driveway before I'd retreated to my craft studio to play with my goodies. This red rubber stamp set ... VIEW POST
Sea of Textures and trees
One of my favourite bundles in the Stampin' Up! 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue is the Sea of Textures Stamp Set and Under The Sea Framelits. At first I wasn't entirely sure how much use I'd have for an octopus, but having got past that little detail I have to say I've never regretted buying this set. As well as the octopus, the stamp set has some lovely sentiments. There's also great images that are perfect for creating backgrounds and adding a sense of texture to projects. This week the What ...

Scrappy days
Every now and then I like to have what I call a 'scrappy day'. On a scrappy day I make a conscious effort to use scraps on my projects. This might be card from my card scraps tin, short pieces of ribbon or trim from my ribbon box. Sometimes it's pieces that have been stamped, punched or die-cut during a previous crafting session but never actually used. Today is one of those days and so for my simple Sunday project I created this thank you card. CARD FRONT AND BACKGROUND I started ... VIEW POST
New stresses
Just when things appear to be sorting themselves out, life throws you a curve ball to make sure you're paying attention. Yesterday my 7 year old granddaughter spend a good part of the afternoon in her local paediatric emergency room. She acquired a number of bites on a recent field trip and one was particularly nasty. Having just completed a course of antibiotics and antihisthamines the redness around this one bite flared up again, and her doctor decided this warranted further ... VIEW POST
This is the day
This is the day I was hoping to be able to show you projects created using the new Blended Seasons Stamp Set and coordinating Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies along with a second assortment of watercolour pencils. As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I was able to order these limited supply items this month ahead of them going on sale to customers just for the month of August. Sadly UPS took a week just to get the parcel from Richmond, BC to Lachine, Quebec and I now have a revised delivery date of ... VIEW POST
The strangest conversation
Yesterday evening hubby and I witnessed the strangest conversation taking place on our front deck. We were listening to one of our resident song sparrows and watched as it hopped from deck post to deckpost and then onto the steps of our deck, chirping away quite happily. It was then that we noticed our cat Houdini lying not 6 feet away, sunning himself on the stone slabs responding to the bird! We must have watched this 'conversation' for a good 10 minutes, the bird chirping and then ... VIEW POST
This Little Piggy
This Little Piggy Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! is so cute, with an assortment of line art pig images and a variety of sweet sayings. Sadly though it's been sitting unloved on my shelf for far too long and this week's Global Design Project challenge #GDP147 - Country / Farm Life gave me just the excuse I needed to ink it up again. For my colour scheme I thought I'd draw my inspiration from this week's Clean and Simple, Colours & Sketches challenge CAS281 - Colours. The colours I had to ... VIEW POST
Summer dining
One of the things I love about Stampin' Up! is their stamp set and dies bundles. They make a simple stamp set even more versatile. Yes I could cut out images by hand but I love it when I don't have to, and of course getting a 10% discount when using the special bundle code doesn't hurt either. My regular readers will know that I may be slightly addicted to two specific products right now, the Tropical Chic Stamp Set and Tropical Thinlits Bundle, and the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions ...
