Thanks to everyone who followed me on Facebook over the weekend. To say that I am tired is a bit of an understatement. For the past 4 years to mark World Cardmaking Day I've set myself a personal challenge. I resolve to design and make from scratch, 24 cards (complete with decorated insides and envelopes) in 24 hours. It's not an easy task, but if it was it wouldn't be a challenge. I often make things harder than they should be, for instance by not finishing a blog post that needs to go ... VIEW POST

A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Hello Pumpkin
It may not be the end of September but it is the last Thursday, so that means it's time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. This month we were treated to the Hello Pumpkin kit. This kit was designed so we could make Halloween or autumn themed crackers, with enough supplies for 20. I'm not a huge Halloween fan but that really didn't matter with this kit. HELLO PUMPKIN POST-IT NOTE® PAD For my first project I decided to use pieces from the Hello Pumpkin kit to decorate a ... VIEW POST
Taking My Cue From Mother Nature
Stampin' Up! really does make it easy to create lovely papercraft projects. What's more there's a continuity that straddles the products so mixing and matching from different catalogues is seamless. Mind you that wasn't exactly what I had in mind today. I just thought it would be nice to create a card with an autumn feel using an older stamp set that's still available. So after picking out the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set and coordinating Nature's Roots Dies I set to work. ROOTED IN ... VIEW POST
No Pumpkin Stamps No Problem
Life has been pretty hectic lately but with so many 'holidays' crammed into the last few months of the year that's not unexpected. I does remind me though that sometimes while you might want something hand-crafted, it has to be quick and easy. When I realised I don't have any pumpkin stamps that could have been an issue for my Thanksgiving preparations. But being the creative type I thought outside the stamp set and found some lovely pumpkins in the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) ... VIEW POST
Autumnal colours for autumnal weather
For today's project the distinctly autumnal feel of this morning's weather inspired my colour choices. But rather than go with a tried and trusted combination I decided to try something new. So after choosing Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Rococo Rose and Old Olive, I set to work. AUTUMNAL WREATH I began my autumnal card with the large wreath image from the Arrange A Wreath Stamp Set. This is quite a large image and so I decided to use my Stamparatus to help me with the stamping. After ... VIEW POST
Another Card Using Small Scraps
Sometimes less is more when it comes to a card design. That's especially true when I find a few small pieces of specialty card or Designer Series Paper (DSP). It's also an economical way to make a stack of cards when I need them. However that doesn't mean I can't add a little touch of luxury to make my simple Sunday project a bit more special. CARD AND PAPER PIECES I began my project with the thank you sentiment from the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set. For this I cut a piece of Thick ... VIEW POST
