As expected, yesterday's dusting of snow quickly melted and we're back to that odd 'between season' kind of weather. The autumn leaves are all gone, but still there's a little warmth that makes being outside quite pleasant at times. Sadly it won't be long before the colder weather returns and settles in. So today with that in mind I'm saying goodbye to the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set by decorating a 3" x 3" Post-It Note® pad. GILDED AUTUMN I began my project by choosing this gorgeous ... VIEW POST
Seeing A Lot More Sunshine
After a lot of planning and preparation I am finally getting more natural light in my studio. I've spent the best part of the morning helping hubby remove the old french doors.

Of course having an uninterrupted view of our garden and being able to make the ... VIEW POST
Simply A Textured Country Scene

It's designed to be used with 4" ... VIEW POST

This year it was the Coming Home Stamp Set that provided the inspiration for my 2021 vehicle notebook. COMING HOME Having decided to use images from the Coming Home Stamp Set I started with those.

Ink In All The Right Places Today
When you blog every day with a new project design it can be challenging. Often I go to bed wondering what my next project will be and I wake up with an idea. In the event that that doesn't happen, usually a shower does the trick. Today was once of those days and the idea for a candle collar popped into my head. So with products from the new Gilded Autumn Suite and a couple of ink pads I set to work. CANDLE COLLAR I began with a pillar candle that is 2-3/4" across and 2-1/4" high (not ... VIEW POST
