It's no secret that I love notebooks, and I love decorating them even more. The problem is that designs with lots of embellishments are not suitable for carrying in a pocket or throwing into the centre console in a car. For that reason I decided to decorate a notebook that would be more practical in these circumstances. So with a camouflage pattern from the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack I set to work. CAMOUFLAGE COVER I began with the camouflage paper and a ... VIEW POST
Campology For A Masculine Birthday Card
Now that Christmas is 362 days away I feel confident in turning my attention to other important occasions. So it's time to start rebuilding my stash of birthday cards. Today's project is quite simple to make with a couple of punches and a bit of fussy cutting. But it all began with the simple coffee pot image from the Campology Stamp Set. CAMPOLOGY The Campology Stamp Set is from the Stampin' Up! 2020/21 Annual Catalogue and is great for masculine or gender-neutral projects. Although ... VIEW POST
Campology For Christmas Cards
Campology is one of those stamp sets that I knew I wanted as soon as I saw it. Apart from having some great images for masculine projects I immediately loved the large group of trees. I could see this image on lots of projects but my immediate thought was 'Christmas'. So when I sat down to make 24 cards in 24 hours recently, this was one I had to try. SNOWMAN SEASON Despite this project beginning with my idea for the Campology trees, it wasn't actually the focal point of the card. ... VIEW POST
Banners For Today’s Sneak Peek
Are you a coffee drinker. I am, sort of. I rarely venture into coffee shops and have no idea what all those fancy names mean. At home, while I may have three or four coffees in a morning, they're fairly weak and only half-caff. I'm suppose I'm a bit of a lightweight. However, coffee images and sentiments are very on trend at the moment so I thought I'd combine two sets from the Annual Catalogue on a simple masculine card. But I didn't forget about today's sneak peek. That would come in ... VIEW POST
Another Campology Project
I haven't been camping in years. When our children were smaller we camped regularly, it made for a more affordable vacation. Hubby and I also became Duke of Edinburgh's Award instructors for a number of years, guiding young people through the expedition part of their award. That might be one of the reason I love the new Campology Stamp Set. But probably not the only one. I simply think the images are beautifully drawn by one of the artists at Stampin' Up! This makes my job of designing ... VIEW POST
Campology – Not Just For Campers
I'm still working my way through my box of new Stampin' Up! goodies. What I tend to do initially is make one project with each product. Then as I'm working I find myself thinking of other projects I could make with it. I keep a piece of paper beside me and write these ideas down. Then I keep the paper inside the stamp case as a reminder the next time I want to make a project. This was most certainly the case with the new Campology Stamp Set. But to begin I decided to create a masculine / ... VIEW POST
