This month's A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop is all about the February 2022 kit called Kisses & Hugs. Unfortunately global shipping issues caused kits to arrive late at Stampin' Up! and domestic mailing delays have compounded the problem. So instead of Valentines I thought it would be useful to show this kit's year-round versatility. HUGS FOR A BABY For my first project I thought the hearts and XOXO motif would make a great baby card. In addition, by avoiding the pink parts of ... VIEW POST
Pregnancy – 10 Minute Card Idea
One card theme I don't visit a great deal is babies, and even less frequently, pregnancy. I found that I didn't have sentiments that I liked, so I was excited to see the One Happy Family Stamp Set in the 2021/22 Annual Catalogue. "You made a little human!" is probably one of my favourite sentiments, but "the happiest reason for feeling rotten" also caught my eye. So when I was working through my recent 24 cards in 24 hours marathon I was determined to use the One Happy Family Stamp Set. This ... VIEW POST

My regular readers will know that I like to get the most from my craft budget, and that means being creative with materials.

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.

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. Today it's the turn of the multi-language "hello" folder for a sweet baby card. This time though, just to show you how amazing it is, there's no special treatment for the embossing folder. 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
