Easy Sunset With Sponge Brayers

August 13, 2020 Leave a Comment

I love colouring but I find I'm often reaching for the same colouring tools, most recently Stampin' Blends. So with a very busy day ahead of me I decided to grab my Sponge Brayers for a quick bookmark project. Once I'd selected a sentiment and image from the Silhouette Scenes Stamp Set I was all set. INK AND BRAYERS I began my project with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Thick Very Vanilla Card. Once I'd shaped the top with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch I was ready to start work with my ... VIEW POST

Rustic Charm Of My Country Setting

July 11, 2020 Leave a Comment

Although I spent most of my life in the UK living in a very large town I'm a country girl at heart. When we moved to Nova Scotia I really wanted to live in a rural area. We were fortunate to find a home with a view of the bay to the front, open fields to the side and woods at the back. The property had all the rustic charm I was looking for and I have not been disappointed. Every day there's something new to see, from insects to birds to larger critters, and as I stand and watch them I know ... VIEW POST

Summer Days, Lazy Days

June 18, 2020 Leave a Comment

My 9 year old granddaughter Alyssa is an avid reader, like her mum and grandma. So it stands to reason that I send her bookmarks that I've made. Recently she very sadly admitted that one of them had been damaged and I promised to make a her a new one. I had the perfect image in mind, a child reading under a tree. It would be my first project using the new Summer Days (Host) Stamp Set. SUMMER DAYS Isn't that a sweet image, and all using just one stamp. I began by cutting a 2" x ... VIEW POST

Creating A Simple Sunset Scene

April 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

My regular readers will know that I see in Stampin' Up! colours. As I'm going about my daily life I notice colour combinations and these often turn up in my projects. Sometime over the past week or two I saw a colour combination and made a note of it. Sadly I forgot to record the exact circumstances. However when I put the colours together on some card a sunset emerged. Then with a few extra touches I created today's project. SUNSET BACKGROUND I created this sunset background using ... VIEW POST

Find Something You Enjoy Doing

March 28, 2020 Leave a Comment

As the reality of physical distancing hits home and more activities are no longer available, are you finding new things to enjoy? Are you taking advantage of the enforced downtime and doing things you've been putting off? Although I am still working at the pharmacy, I do have some extra time on my hands now that my classes are cancelled for the forseeable future. So I'm planning to reorganise my craft studio. It's something that I do every April in preparation for the new Stampin' Up! Annual ... VIEW POST

Summer Scenes Are In The Past

November 2, 2019 2 Comments

Well yesterday was eventful with horrendous wind and rain, and we weren't the only ones who lost power for a while. By the end of the day the few remaining leaves on our maple trees had gone and the landscape is looking much sadder. But instead of brooding I'll look back at a summer scene on a project I made for World Card Making Day. I'm not quite ready to surrender to the damp and cold just yet. BRAYERED SUMMER SCENE This project began with the simple brayered summer scene. First ... VIEW POST
