Well yesterday was interesting. Hubby was out with the snowblower for more than 5 hours trying to clear our driveway after the snowstorm. While the wind scrubbed some areas, in others we had snowdrifts up to 5 feet deep. The road was just as bad, making for challenging conditions for the snowplow driver. But with the sunshine revealing the patterns carved in the snow by the wind I was reminded of the free Simply Marbleous 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP). So that's what I wanted to ... VIEW POST
Inspired By Swimming Otters
Well today is definitely going to be 'one of those days'. It started out fine, I had an idea for a project and it came together pretty easily. Then I took the photos for my blog and sat down to edit them. And it was here that things started to go awry. My photo editing programme simply wouldn't load and it took several reboots of the computer to get it going again. It's a good job the Awesome Otters Stamp Set is a cute one. Maybe I should just relax like that otter and just go with the ... VIEW POST
Hedgehog Punch Is Part Of My Solution
On Christmas Day I made one final card of the season for my blog post that day. It was a project featuring the robin and a sentiment from the now retired Happy Holly-Days Stamp Set. The background was a sneak peek using some of the New Horizons 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP). If you saw that blog post today's hedgehog gift tag project might seem a little familiar, but there's a good reason for that.. You see it uses the original background I made for that card, and then ... VIEW POST
Bragworthy Meets Tasteful Textile Embossing
With the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue launch and the start of the Sale-A-Bration promotion, yesterday was a very busy day. As promised I’ve updated my blog posts with links to all the products used to make each sneak peek project. I've also added links to yesterday's sneak peek review. So when I sat down yesterday evening to make a card it needed to be quick. In my head I thought I'd simply use a large sentiment and patterned paper. But when I picked up the Bragworthy sentiment suddenly my ... VIEW POST
Three Stamp Sets For One Birthday Card
I must apologise for the late arrival of today's blog post. Today is obviously going to be one of those days where things take that much longer to get done. What's frustrating is that my birthday card project was done and photographed yesterday. But I've not been nearly as efficient this morning. In my defence I've had long video chat with my daughter and twin 9-month old grandbabies, and taken the garbage to the end of the drive in the snow. One very enjoyable distraction and the other, ...

Elegantly Said For A Simple Sunday Card
So the several inches of snow that fell earlier this week has all gone thanks to Mother Nature and a deluge overnight. I love it when we don't have to shovel the white stuff off the driveway. The plus 14C on the thermometer is also a welcome change from the minus 13C we saw just a few days ago too. It hardly seems possible that two weeks from today Christmas will be over. So for today's simple Sunday project I wanted to bring you something more spring-like. This card, featuring the ... VIEW POST
