One of the things that is guaranteed with the end of any Stampin' Up! catalogue is the retirement of all the Host Stamp Sets. These sets can be found towards the back of each catalogue and are available at below retail value. The catch is that they can only be 'bought' using Stampin' Rewards. Stampin' Rewards are 'dollars' earned by hosting a party or placing an order of at least $200 CAD. Today's quick fridge magnet project uses the Believe You Can (host) Stamp Set. TEXTURED BASE I ...

Believe The Power Will Stay On!
As I sit down to write this blog post the wind and rain are really starting to pick up. This bad weather was forecast and as expected some people are already without power. I'm trying to keep positive and believe that ours will hold out long enough to get this blog post written, but I'll keep it short just to be safe.

The Power Of Inked Embossing
The very first card I made as part of my World Card Making Day challenge was this good luck card. I have to say that it's one of my favourites.

Surviving The Storm
As I sit down to write today's blog post it's 7.20am on Saturday September 7th. The wind has just started to pick up and will increase steadily through the day as Hurricane Dorian approaches. If we still have power in the morning before this post is due to go live I'll update you on how we fared through the storm. If we don't have power (which is a real possibility) I'll update you as soon as I'm able. So while we ride out the storm here's a quick Simple Sunday bookmark project with a ... VIEW POST
An Inspiring Bookmark
As well as being a passionate papercrafter I'm also an avid reader. Although I do use an e-reader when I'm on holiday, I much prefer books printed on paper. Of course my regular blog readers will know that along with my book I always have a bookmark to hand. So when Stampin' Up! launches a new catalogue one of the first things I seek out are images or sentiments that I can make into a new bookmark. Today's project uses the Believe You Can (host) Stamp Set. This can be found towards the ... VIEW POST
