Yesterday Tragedy Touched My World

April 20, 2020 6 Comments

Yesterday morning as I sat down to write my blog I said it was an "interesting" morning. On the instructions of the RCMP we were locked in our home and keeping an eye out for strangers on our property. All we knew at the time was that there was an "active shooter" situation 3kms down the road. Living in a rural community we're used to hearing the odd gunshot during hunting season. This however was something entirely different. Little did we know that as the day progressed the eyes of the ... VIEW POST

Wonderful Care Packages To Make Up

April 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today I need to finish making up some care packages to ship to my daughter. Some time ago I bought some wonderful little treats and gifts that I thought she would love, but they haven't yet made it into the mail. That will be rectified later, but first I wanted to make a colourful bookmark to add to the box. WONDERFUL BUT QUICK I'm still working my way through some of my paper scraps and for this project picked up the Bird Ballad 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. Of all the ... VIEW POST

For The Gardener or Bird Lover

December 17, 2019 2 Comments

Today's blog project is a quick showcase of a notebook that would be a great gift for the gardener or bird lover. For this I went back to some products in the Annual Catalogue, the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set and Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP). FOR THE GARDENER? I simply can't get enough of the Bird Ballad DSP and I know I'm not the only one. I'm not even sure what the flowers / shrub on this particular design are, but I just know this make me smile. Perhaps if there's a ... VIEW POST

Alohomora And Other Unique Words

September 23, 2019 Leave a Comment

It's no secret that I'm a book-lover and am quite old-school in that I like printed books rather than e-versions. There's something quite special about settling into a cosy chair with a good book and a hot drink. A love of reading is something that I'm happy to say that other family members have developed too. My late son was a voracious reader, and when he died two years ago I kept a number of his books including his well-loved Harry Potter collection. He regularly told me that even if ... VIEW POST

Bird Ballad Notebook Minus The Birds

September 21, 2019 2 Comments

It's the first day of autumn and while the garden is already changing I'm not quite ready to give up on summer flowers. So today I decided to revisit the Bird Ballad suite but focus on one of the pretty floral designs in the Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. My regular readers will know that I love anything that helps me stay organised, so what better way to extend summer than with a pretty floral notebook. A NEW NOTEBOOK I began with an uninspiring 5" x 7" ruled notebook from ... VIEW POST

The Key To New Adventures

July 9, 2019 2 Comments

Just recently I needed a new home card but couldn't find a stamp set with that theme. Instead I grabbed a couple of sets my daughter bought me for Mother's Day. Then with the addition of a bronze key embellishment and coordinating Designer Series Paper I got to work. NEW HOME I began with a piece of Very Vanilla Card and a Smoky Slate ink pad. First I stamped the house and trees image from the Grandma's House Stamp Set. Then above it I stamped "Congratulations on your next ... VIEW POST
