With the year flying by I have some project ideas using pine cones collected from trees at the far end of our property. Unfortunately after ignoring that area for too long the grass is now about two feet tall making getting to the trees a challenge. So rather than wade through on foot I decided to tackle two tasks at once and mow a path through. My subsequent trip around the garden also revealed signs that autumn is on the horizon and it inspired me to create this acorn-decorated ... VIEW POST

IDEAS Blog Hop: Wonderful World
It’s August 1st and time for another IDEAS blog hop. This month our theme is “enjoying Sale-A-Bration” so the IDEAS team have designed and created projects with celebrations in mind. Of course it goes without saying that they also use exclusive products from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. For my Tutorial Bundle projects I decided to use the gorgeous Wonderful World 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper. It’s only available as part of a free bundle, so I used the coordinating stamp set to create two ... VIEW POST
Abigail Rose Reimagined
After yesterday’s Christmas card I thought I’d better change season, at least for a while. So for today’s simple Sunday project I decided to go back to an old but fun technique that involves absolutely no stamping. All I needed was some Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. Stampin’ Up! understands how relaxing it is to just sit and colour, and has made that really easy with paper packs like Perfectly Penciled. But today it was a sheet in the Abigail Rose DSP that ...

Painted Christmas Revisited
While the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue gives us products for a full year, the same is not true of their Mini Catalogues. I love that these ‘Minis’ give me additional seasonal goodies but sometimes I feel that 6 months is not enough. Admittedly some items get carried over, however that rarely happens for the paper packs. This year though I get a second chance with the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP). I especially love this pine cones pattern and couldn’t wait to use it again on a ... VIEW POST
Sun Prints Script
When I think of the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper (DSP) I automatically think of blue. Then I remember that I can get many of the same patterns in four other colours in the Pretty Prints DSP pack. But what I have to remind myself is that there’s also a more delicate option. All I have to do is flip over the blue sheets for some softer Gray Granite patterns. So that’s what did to use up a small scrap of paper on this modern looking “for you” gift tag. SUN PRINTS START As it was the ... VIEW POST
Gnomes And Snowflakes
We’re into another mini heatwave with temperatures feeling like mid 30C courtesy of the humidity. So as before I will close the windows and curtains until the heat of the day has passed. Then this evening when things cool down a little I’ll open everything up again. Meanwhile I intend to spend the day playing in my craft studio. The first thing that came to mind was cooler weather, much cooler in fact. So of course that made me think of snowflakes and Christmas. Then out came the Kindest ... VIEW POST
