Today is Mother’s Day in the UK. It’s much earlier than here in Canada but their daffodils are already blooming. Ours will be a while yet given the rollercoaster temperatures we’re getting. Later today I’ll get to video chat with my daughter and three granddaughters. Meanwhile I shall enjoy my morning coffee from the new “grandma” mug they sent me earlier this week. Today’s simple Sunday project is a “thinking of you” card using three more retiring products including the gorgeous Beautiful ... VIEW POST
Bragworthy Meets Beautiful Moments
While it’s the images that often draw me to a new stamp set, I love fun sentiments. In the Stampin’ Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue it was Lighthearted Lines that caught my eye. So when their new Mini Catalogue was revealed I wondered if there would be something similar. Bragworthy was exactly what I was hoping for and I’ve already made a few projects using this set. Today though I finally got around to the sentiment that gave the stamp set its name, and all it took was a ... VIEW POST
Beautiful Moments Revisited Again
Oh I can't tell you how lovely it is to be back in my craft studio. After almost 4 months away, I get to play with some favourite products, as well as the few new ones I had while in the UK. Today I fancied a little painting and immediately reached for the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set.

BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS SCENE My card started with the two girls from the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. ... VIEW POST
Strong And Beautiful Moments Combine
As the days go by more and more items on the Retiring List are selling out. Sometimes customers like to wait and see if products are going to be reduced and that can happen. However I usually tell my customers to weigh up how badly they want a particular product and whether it's worth missing out completely just because they hoped to save a few dollars? Something that rarely gets reduced is retiring stamp sets, as Stampin' Up! make these and adjusts production to closely meet demand. This is ... VIEW POST
Beautiful Moments Beautiful Card
I really enjoy creating scenes and projects using images of people and/or animals and for that reason I'm always drawn to certain stamp sets. One of my current favourites is the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set which is perfectly named. With eight images and three sentiments I don't think there's been one project I've made that I didn't love. Even when they don't go according to plan. BEAUTIFUL IMAGES This project all started with the amazing line drawing of the lady in the Beautiful ... VIEW POST
Family, Always Close At Heart
While hubby and I live in Canada, our daughter and her family live in the UK. It's never really been an issue as we've always been able to visit when we wanted, but COVID has brought challenges. So we're thankful for technology that allows us to chat via messaging or video chats. Photos are another way to keep in touch and when printed off and put into an album, they make very personal gifts. Keeping family close at heart was the inspiration for today's quick project. BEAUTIFUL ... VIEW POST
