Sometimes the simplest of ideas can turn into the prettiest projects. While playing with the Flowers For Every Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP) I decided to make a Christmas Card. Of course I couldn't help but pull out the gorgeous poinsettia design for this. However, instead of starting with the card front I assembled the inside and envelope first. Then while looking at what was left of the DSP, an idea popped into my head. I'd turn it into gift wrap, and from there the card ... VIEW POST
Step By Step Ornament Colouring
Today's project was supposed to be a quick gift tag using one of the ornament images from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set.

Using Tuxedo ... VIEW POST

Of course the beauty of stamping is that you can choose any colour you like and make your projects personal to ... VIEW POST
Banners For Today’s Sneak Peek
Are you a coffee drinker. I am, sort of. I rarely venture into coffee shops and have no idea what all those fancy names mean. At home, while I may have three or four coffees in a morning, they're fairly weak and only half-caff. I'm suppose I'm a bit of a lightweight. However, coffee images and sentiments are very on trend at the moment so I thought I'd combine two sets from the Annual Catalogue on a simple masculine card. But I didn't forget about today's sneak peek. That would come in ... VIEW POST
