One of the sad parts of the catalogue change-over period is feeling I haven't shown you all the projects I'd planned. I have always had a policy of not showing you things you can no longer buy which means watching the Demonstrator reports quite closely. Today though I have some good news regarding the Blackberry Beauty 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP). Although it's retiring one last delivery has been received by Stampin' Up! So while it's still in stock I wanted to show you this idea ... VIEW POST
Blackberry Beauty DSP Back In Stock
There's nothing worse than finding something you like only to discover it's out of stock. With global transport issues headline news it's no surprise that Stampin' Up! has been affected too. However I've been pleasantly surprised how few of their products have been out of stock at any particular time. Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP) has been unavailable for a while but is now back. So to celebrate I wanted to bring you this congratulations card I created last ... VIEW POST
Create A Hat For Any Occasion
Masculine cards are often perceived by many crafters as difficult to make. With feminine cards, if all else fails, add flowers and bows. For the men, not so simple (although lots of men like flowers!). Anyway, when Stampin' Up! brought out the Hats Off Stamp Set and coordinating Hat Builder Dies I could see an immediate need. Oddly enough my first hat card was a feminine one, just to prove a point. But when it came to my recent 24 cards in 24 hours marathon, I couldn't resist going in a ... VIEW POST
Never Forget With Nature’s Harvest
Although I'm not an avid scrapbooker I do love to look at photos of family and friends. It's amazing how something so simple can trigger memories and feelings from events many years past. I'm old-fashioned in that I like my photos printed so I don't have to worry whether the battery in my device is sufficiently charged. So every now and then I like to put together a little pocket photo album. The covers that come with the albums are often uninspiring, which means before filling them with ... VIEW POST
Penned Flowers For A Pretty Accent
Today's project was the result of another one of my "using up scraps" afternoons. It actually started with the pretty background piece that was left over after I decorated a small treat box. From there I didn't really have a plan other than to find some coordinating colours and pretty shapes. Once I'd decided to use the Penned Flowers Dies for the main accent it all came together very quickly. BACKGROUND LAYERS Taking my cue from the 1-1/2" x 3-1/4" scrap from the Blackberry Beauty ...

Rich Colours And Flying Owls
When people think of owls, particularly at this time of year, many often think of Halloween. I suppose they can be quite spooky with their silent flight and subsequent sudden appearance. But for me when I think of owls I'm more likely to think of Hedwig from the Harry Potter series of books. My regular followers will know that I love reading, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before I made an owl-themed bookmark. OWLS IN FLIGHT This project happened by accident as I was ...
