Although I spent time yesterday preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Fiona I did get a little sidetracked in my craft studio. My regular followers will know I have a hard time parting with scraps, I’d much rather find a use for them. So when I discovered some stray pieces from the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack I just had to use them up. Armed with the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Celebrate With Tags Stamp Set and the coordinating Celebrations Tag Dies I set to ... VIEW POST
Holly Leaves At Last
Did you know that when I post a new project I aim to only use products that you can actually buy? From past experience I know how frustrating it is to fall in love with something only to find it’s no longer available. So I try to never do that to my followers. This makes writing my blog posts challenging as I have to reschedule projects when something is temporarily unavailable. Today though is a good day as the Holly Berry Dies used on this design are back in stock. LEAVES OF HOLLY ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Evening’s Work
While I love creating projects every day for my blog it’s not without its challenges. Sometimes I’ll sit at my desk and all that’s rolling round my brain are dust bunnies. So when that happens what do I do? Well, I start something. Anything. I might cut and prepare some card bases. Or I may stamp some images and start colouring. Even tidying my craft supplies works. Last night I spent a peaceful evening simply cutting images from my patterned paper stash. Then an idea magically popped into my ... VIEW POST
Christmas Money
It’s August 31st, and here in Nova Scotia the last day of the meteorological summer is going to be hot and humid. So naturally I’m thinking of cooler weather and looking forward to Christmas. As I sat down to create today’s project I decided it was time for another slimline card idea. Then while I was working it struck me that slimline cards are the perfect solution for those gifts of money, or concert / theatre tickets. How is it I’ve not thought of that before? Better late than ... VIEW POST
Gnome Dies Discovery
I love knowing that Stampin’ Up! produces dies to coordinate with a particular stamp set. The only problem is that I often get tunnel vision and forget to check out the extra dies that are included in the set. By that I mean the ones that don’t coordinate with a stamped image. So I’ve been on a mission to discover (or rediscover) some of these gems. This morning it was the turn of the Gnome Dies. But as well as making the cute gnome, there was an extra special surprise... EASY GNOME ... VIEW POST
Brightest Christmas Card
Good morning! We’re having a glorious start to the day with clear blue skies punctuated by the odd wispy cloud. The washing is already on the line, and fluttering in the gentle breeze coming in off the bay. With that chore done it was time for me to create today’s simple Sunday project. So with summer outside, why did I end up with this simply stunning Christmas Card? It’s all the fault of the Brightest Glow Stamp Set that I’d left lying on my desk. Well that’s my excuse anyway... PRETTY ... VIEW POST
