Today is International Women's Day and I decided I wanted to create a project to celebrate a woman that I admire immensely, my daughter. Like many people she juggles a family, home and work commitments. Despite all the stresses that life has thrown at her, including the death of her brother in 2017, she continues to inspire me with her humour and resilience. I couldn't be more proud of her. SIMPLE LAYERS I began my project by cutting and scoring some Thick Whisper White Card using my ... VIEW POST
It’s Groundhog Day
Today's Groundhog Day and our local weather prognosticator, Shubenacadie Sam has just predicted another six weeks of winter. Gee thanks Sam! I woke up with a scratchy throat and what could be the beginnings of earache, so not a great start to Superbowl weekend. For my project I decided to revisit a favourite colour combination, pink and grey to make a really simple but elegant thank you card. ANIMAL EXPEDITION WITH NO ANIMALS It all began with the Animal Expedition 12" x 12" ... VIEW POST
Animal Outing meets Tropical Chic
This week the What Will You Stamp? Challenge features the Animal Outing Stamp Set.

Tropical Escape
Oh my, our weather certainly has been erratic, so cold last week people were lighting their fires, and so hot yesterday you could fry eggs on the pavement. I do prefer the heat to the cold though and it made me want to create a project using the Tropical Escape 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP) stack from Stampin' Up! (one of the packs included in the buy 3 get 1 promotion this month). While I was at it I thought I'd also show you a die you may have overlooked. But first the ... VIEW POST
Talking animals
I'm a bit of a details person and I often notice things that others overlook. Like the expressions on the faces of the characters in the new Stampin' Up! Stamp Set called Animal Outing. The eyes of the frog and the giraffe in today's project are really expressive and are just begging for a caption. For now though I decided to concentrate on the images. I began with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Thick Whisper White Card punched at the top using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Using Crumb ... VIEW POST
Rhino what you might like
Another bad pun but the new Animal Outing Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up! 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue just makes me laugh. Today's simple Sunday project is a quick and easy 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" notecard without a sentiment that could be useful for just about any short message you need to send. I took one of the new Whisper White Memories & More Cards & Envelopes in the small size, folded it along the pre-scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder. Using Crumb Cake ink ...
