Although it's dull and rainy here in Nova Scotia, today I'm enjoying looking at the bright green grass that now surrounds our property. It seems like forever since it turned brown for the winter. I love that the garden is finally awakening, and it inspired me to create a sweet anniversary card showcasing some more retiring products. The Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set has been around for a few years so I'm kind of OK with losing that. What I can't believe is that the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing ... VIEW POST
I Simply Love Cherry Blossoms
While we're still dealing with winter and the extreme cold that brings, other places are more fortunate. I've even seen photos of trees covered in spring blossoms! There's something about apple and cherry blossoms that makes me smile. Maybe its the realisation that winter is finally over with lighter evenings and much milder temperatures. For now though I'll just have to get my smiles from the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set and coordinating Cherry Blossoms Dies. ALWAYS AND FOREVER I ... VIEW POST
Life Is Short, Buy The Shoes
Oh my goodness I'm definitely dreaming of beach weather as we wait out a prolonged period of freezing rain today. So while we still have power I got to work on a cute tote. This one was created using the All Dressed Up Dies, while the "Life is short, buy the shoes" sentiment comes from the coordinating Dressed To Impress Stamp Set.

A Gift For The Fishermen
It seems like every time I look at my stamp sets I see another link to the new catalogues. Yesterday it was free Lily Impressions paper and the Lilypad Lake Stamp Set and Lakeside Dies. Today I have something for all the fishermen and women out there. I was looking at a fairly plain, brown design in the Tropical Oasis 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. It has a very subtle pattern that reminded me of fabric. I thought it would be even better if it were embossed and that's how ... VIEW POST
Colour Combination Inspiration
Sitting at home yesterday watching the snow pile up, I was glad to be able to play in my craft studio. While the yard outside (what little I could see of it) was turning white I went in search of bright colours. In the end I made a number of projects. This one was inspired by the colour combination from the January 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit, I'll Bee Yours. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND I began with Highland Heather and Rococo Rose ink pads and a scrunched up ball of Saran Wrap (cling film). To ... VIEW POST
