We haven't seen much of our resident red squirrels during the spring and summer, but that's about to change. With autumn, their activity is much more noticeable as they stock their larders. Come the heavy snow of winter we'll put out a few nuts and raisins each day to keep them going. We love watching them and seeing which of the treats they go for first. So it was no surprise when I decided to add the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set to my collection. Like the real squirrels, there's ... VIEW POST
Rounding Up The Sheep Again
It's almost the end of September and there's only two more days until the Sale-A-Bration promotion finishes. My regular readers will know I have a soft spot for cute animal stamps and so this will probably be one I'll keep. So I decided to give the free Counting Sheep Stamp Set one last outing and paired it with the coordinating free Sheep Dies. Today's project uses some products I haven't used in a while, the new Kraft Paper and a Stampin' Chalk Marker. All-in-all I'm quite happy with the ... VIEW POST
Gilded Leafing – A Successful First Attempt
When it comes to 'new' products and techniques I'm often late to the party. It's not that I'm afraid to try new things, but rather that I'm not one to jump straight in. So it took me a little while to decide to get the Gilded Leafing, and a while longer to actually use it. Gilded leafing comes in a large tub that is full to the brim with the most delicate gold flakes. Using it is essentially quite simple you just attach it to a project with some form of glue. I've seen various technique ... VIEW POST
Let’s Go Back To Peekaboo Farm
My regular readers will know that I'm a bit obsessed with the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set. I admit I've found it hard to put down and love all five of the cute farm animals. Over the past few weeks I've deliberately avoided using it, but I could only resist for so long. I eventually gave in and made a really quick card for today's simple Sunday project. From the Peekaboo Farm Stamp set I chose the cow image, plus a Soft Suede ink Pad. To keep things really simple I decided not to use the ... VIEW POST
Autumn Colours And A Squirrel
No change here. It's hot and muggy and typically I'm thinking about cooler weather. Fall isn't far away and a change of decor will be needed in my dining room. So out go the bright flowers and in come the more muted neutral tones of autumn. That means I need to create napkin rings using the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it... NAPKIN RING I began by making the ring part of my napkin ring. First I cut a 2" x 5" piece of Pale Papaya Card, rolled ... VIEW POST
Squirrels – Another Addition To My Menagerie
It may be August, but there was a definite nip in the air this morning and it won't be long before we see the first signs of autumn. So that means we're likely to notice our resident squirrels and chipmunks as they begin to stock their larders. During last winter we had a couple of squirrels visit our front deck each morning for a few nuts and raisins that we put out for them. I wonder if they'll expect the same breakfast service this year? Today's new product sneak peek is the Nuts About ... VIEW POST
