Today I did something I haven’t done in months, sleep in. In fact I slept in two hours past the time I'd usually get up. I obviously needed the rest but it’s sent my plans for today a little awry. Oh well, no point in stressing over it. I’ll just have another cup of coffee and plod on through my to-do list. First though here’s this week’s simple Sunday project, a cute card featuring the new Elephant Parade Stamp Set. I hope you like it as much as I do. TAKE ONE ELEPHANT I began by ... VIEW POST
Mice Thanks On Mother’s Day
It must be my age but time is flying faster than ever. How else can I explain why I completely missed that today is Mother’s Day in Canada? In the UK, Mother’s Day (or Mothering Sunday) is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in Lent, which is most often in March. Of course my daughter in the UK goes by that calendar and we celebrated it then. So instead of Mother’s Day, this week’s simple Sunday project is a cute thank you card created using the Mischievous Mice (Host) Stamp Set. MISCHIEVOUS ... VIEW POST
Sea Dies Snippet
This project is one of those created as a result of a mistake. I'd actually planned to make a card using the frame from the Sea Dies set. However I wasn't paying attention when I placed the die on the Thick Basic White Card and it wasn't centred. As a result I had to scrap that piece and start over again. Of course when I say 'scrap' that doesn't mean it was destined for the garbage (well not all of it at least). You know that’s simply not my style. SEA DIES MISTAKE So for this 'bonus' ... VIEW POST
Pampered Pets Almost Gone
This past week I’ve started my mornings with a coffee and a look at the Stampin’ Up! Inventory Status Report. Once again I’ve been shocked at how many retiring stamp sets have completely sold out. This makes creating projects a real challenge. Today I’m taking the opportunity to use the Pampered Pets Stamp Set one last time. It’s currently showing as low stock and will likely be gone completely by the end of the weekend. I couldn’t resist creating this sympathy card using the sweet dog image. ... VIEW POST
Whale Done Turtle Friends
A few weeks ago I designed a gift tag using two different stamp sets that were made for each other, Seas the Day and Whale Done. At the end of the post I mentioned there was another stamp set that went perfectly with Whale Done. I promised to bring you a project showing what I meant, and today’s the day. I can’t believe I never noticed the link between Turtle Friends and Whale Done before, but here it is. Maybe I should look more closely at my other stamp sets... LOOK WHAT I FOUND! When ... VIEW POST
Seas The Day (Hopefully)
It seems that this COVID infection for me is currently manifesting as a bad head cold and sore throat. Hopefully it will stay that way and not develop into more severe symptoms. I’ve noticed however that it’s worse in the mornings. Tylenol is helping, although not with the foggy brain. Today is looking better with my new project and blog post done much earlier than yesterday. I even included a little ‘altered die-cut technique’. I love the “seas the day” pun and ... VIEW POST
