My regular readers will know that I like to get the most from my craft budget, and that means being creative with materials. I love taking products that have a specific theme and finding ways to make something totally different. But when I got my hands on the free Penguin Playmates 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) I didn't have to think too hard. The Penguin Playmates DSP features a selection of cute critters enjoying time in the snow. It coordinates with the Penguin Place Stamp Set ... VIEW POST
Friends And Family Time On The Way
How's your day been so far? Mine's been fantastic. Yesterday I went for my second PCR test in Nova Scotia since returning from the UK. It was actually the fifth test I've taken in the past 18 days, but who's counting? Anyway, this morning at 7.10am AST the lab results came through showing I am negative for Covid 19. Not that I expected anything else, but you can never be too sure. Still it means that I can now confidently meet up with friends and family again and I can't wait. Well ... VIEW POST
Hello, Bonjour, G’Day And More
Hello again, and happy Wednesday. A few days ago I showed you a multi-language thank you card using one of the folders in the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folders pack.

I also couldn't resist pulling out the Turtle Friends Stamp Set again. Turtles may be my new favourite creature. HELLO When I ... VIEW POST
Scrapbooking The Turtle-y Loved
As the keeper of our family history you'd think that I do a lot of scrapbooking. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. While designing cards, tags and other projects comes easily to me, scrapbooking is a completely different issue. So no one was more surprised than I when I found myself creating today's project using the Turtle Friends Stamp Set and coordinating punch. TURTLE-Y LOVED It all started with the "You are turtle-y loved" sentiment. "Turtle" is a term of ... VIEW POST
Treasures Of Life In My Own Arms
I've always loved the Treasures Of Life Stamp Set. It called to me as a grandparent, and even more so as I have two new twin granddaughters. I say new, they're already seven weeks old, but despite being born more than 5 weeks early they avoided special care and are thriving. I've been very lucky and managed to travel to the UK, and am very grateful I can spend time with the family. So the "and the love only grows" sentiment from the Treasures of Life Stamp Set on today's project really ... VIEW POST
It’s Time To Break Out Punch Party
My plan this morning was to create a gift tag, and in that I succeeded. However what I hadn't planned for was to use yet another free product from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. But this morning Stampin' Up! issued some clarification about the Host stamp set, Punch Party. More about that later, but first the project I ended up making. FOLDED GIFT TAG With the Punch Party Stamp Set on my mind I decided to use that for my gift tag. I began by cutting a 2-5/8" x 2-5/8" piece of Whisper ... VIEW POST
