This weekend has been a busy one with lots to do and sadly not much time for crafting. However it did remind me that I needed a new To-Do List pad. So with that as an excuse I managed to squeeze in a quick half-hour session in my craft room. I already had a 3-1/2” x 7” pad I'd purchased a couple of weeks ago from Dollarama. While they’re useful (and inexpensive) there’s no attempt to make them look pretty, but with stamps, ink, card and some embellishments I quickly put that right. I began ... VIEW POST
Simple Sunday Joy
Neutral Without the Noel
Back at the beginning of September I was part of the IDEAS blog hop when our theme was inspirations. For that I used a colour combination inspired by a card I’d seen on Facebook. Today’s project also draws on a colour combination I’d come across, but this time it’s the October 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit called Noel Greetings. That kit coordinates with the Neutral Noel Suite on pages 16 and 17 of the current catalogue. So, using the Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP), I created this ... VIEW POST
Sympathy With Prayers & Promises
Yesterday was a busy day with our cat Houdini having his annual exam and vaccinations. Sadly it left me little time to craft so I decided to put together a quick sympathy card. However I wanted to have something different for the background so I chose a subtle pattern from the Floral Charm 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP). Then with another coordinating pattern from the same pack all I needed was a sentiment. For that I pulled out the Prayers & Promises Stamp Set and I was ready to ... VIEW POST
Salutations & Birthday Greetings
What a start to September we’ve had! It seems like Mother Nature said “That’s it, summer’s over, you’re done”. It’s very wet and windy, but unlike the summer storms it’s also dark and gloomy too. I don’t mind autumn, but when I know it’s only a buffer zone before winter comes around it takes the shine off a bit. Still, I’m looking forward to embracing all the colours of autumn. That’s what attracted me to the toadstool design I used on today’s simple Sunday project, paired with a marvelous ... VIEW POST
Glow Of Harvest
So yesterday was a both exciting and frustrating. Exciting because I received an order from Stampin’ Up! including August’s Product of the Month; the Glow of Harvest 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) Pack. But frustrating because after making a project my internet and/or computer refused to cooperate and I was unable to complete my blog post. So despite being a full day late, here it is… a friendship thank you card. Of course you’ll know it’s for a very good friend because I included two ... VIEW POST
Box Clever
Over the years I’ve made quite a few boxes and I’ve even made some videos showing how to make various types. But sometimes even I want to make a box without having to worry about all the cutting and measuring. That’s when I take a look through my garbage rescues. You see every now and then I see a box and think, that’s a nice size or shape and I stash it in my craft room. Today I selected one that originally held soap that I’d picked up during recent hotel stay. I began by carefully ... VIEW POST
