Over that past few weeks I’ve been actively thinking about where I find the inspiration for my projects. However today was one of those days when inspiration came looking for me. I wanted to make something more gender-neutral and with Designer Series Paper (DSP) I hadn’t used in a while. Nothing inspired me and I was down to the Beautiful Gallery pack. So I pulled out three sheets each with a simple abstract effect trying to narrow it down. But they looked so good together I ended up using them ... VIEW POST
Beautiful Accident
Waterside Thoughts
Today I have a lot of things to get done. In recent weeks and months it’s become clear to me that I could probably medal at the procrastination Olympics. So I’m using a combination of ‘brain dumping’ and ‘time blocking’ techniques to try to get myself back on track. First on today's list was to create a quick and easy card using the Waterside Retreat 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP). Two different but coordinating patterns, two colours of coordinating card and this is what I came up ... VIEW POST
Harvest Time
Today’s a day to stay indoors with torrential rain forecast for the next 24 hours. Not what the local farmers need in the middle of harvest time. The garden is definitely starting to slow down and the last of the berries are waiting to be picked. That just leaves the apples to collect as thoughts turn to autumn. So I think it’s only fitting that I go back to the Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper (DSP) for today’s simple Sunday project... a five minute make featuring acorns and oak ... VIEW POST
Glow Of Harvest
So yesterday was a both exciting and frustrating. Exciting because I received an order from Stampin’ Up! including August’s Product of the Month; the Glow of Harvest 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) Pack. But frustrating because after making a project my internet and/or computer refused to cooperate and I was unable to complete my blog post. So despite being a full day late, here it is… a friendship thank you card. Of course you’ll know it’s for a very good friend because I included two ... VIEW POST
You’re Still The Best
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you’ll know I’m a frugal crafter. More recently I’ve been forced to be frugal with my time too. So when I finally get into my craft room I really want to make the best use of the opportunity. Most commonly this manifests as a card project followed by a coordinating gift tag. That’s because a lot of my design decisions have already been tested out, plus all the card, paper, stamps, ink and tools are already right there on my desk. I built this tag ... VIEW POST
Artisan Sketched By Request
Last weekend I was working at a local bazaar that sells home baking and handcrafted items. It’s where I sell a lot of my finished cards and projects and get to meet the lovely people who purchase them. Although I try to keep a good variety of cards in stock, I wasn’t able to help a lady looking for a simple anniversary card (I only had ones for silver and golden anniversaries). So today I decided to remedy that by making this floral card using the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper ... VIEW POST
