Just Breathe

April 21, 2020 2 Comments

As more details emerge of the tragedy that happened here in Nova Scotia on Sunday it's easy to become overwhelmed. We all want to know what happened and why someone would do something like this. But sometimes we simply need to take a step back and just breathe. The answers will come in time. Today's project isn't at all what I had planned. It's a pocket photo album that I will now fill with photos showing the beauty and serenity of my part of Nova Scotia. While healing will take time, we ... VIEW POST

Final Shades of Autumn

November 4, 2019 2 Comments

With the recent wind and colder weather our garden had taken on a rather sad feel. The beautiful autumn colours of the past few weeks are all but a memory, and while there's still some colour in the grass, even that's not as vibrant. Today's project is an autumn card I made in early October as part of my personal World Card Making Day challenge. Even though I was working under the pressure of the clock, I still love how this turned out. WOODEN BASE I began this project with the ... VIEW POST

Colorful Seasons Colourful Tag

January 21, 2019 2 Comments

This week the What Will You Stamp? challenge is WWYS203 Colorful Seasons. This is a stamp set I haven't used in a little while and it was nice to revisit it. It also gave me an excuse to use the Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheet that I chose as my free Sale-A-Bration product with my last order. COLORFUL SEASONS As we're battening down the hatches for a big winter storm, I dream of warmer weather. Well less stormy at least. So I decided to create a large gift tag with pretty florals in ...

Thankful Thoughts – Thanks or Thank You?

December 11, 2018 Leave a Comment

On Sunday I showed you a #simplestamping project using a single ink pad and stamp set.  I thought it was really sweet, ideal if you need to make a stack of thank you cards in a hurry.  But if you want something a little more elaborate here's another idea for you using a sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set. With snow still on the ground here in Nova Scotia and temperatures well below freezing, my project was bound to have a bit of a winter vibe. THOUGHTS OF WINTER I began by ... VIEW POST

Split Scene featuring Lovely As A Tree

October 17, 2018 2 Comments

Sometimes life gets ahead of you and you can find yourself in a bit of a panic.  That's roughly where I was by the time I started to make this split scene card. To celebrate World Card Making Day, I'd challenged myself to design and make from scratch, 24 cards in 24 hours.  Twenty hours in, I'd managed to grab some sleep but now I had only four hours left to in which to make 8 cards.  The 'just breathe' sentiment from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set just seemed a good reminder at that ...

What a morning!

July 13, 2018 10 Comments

I suppose being Friday the 13th I shouldn't complain too much, but I've just had a morning where everything was just that little bit more difficult that it should be.  It started with an e-mail from UPS telling me that my latest order from Stampin' Up! which was routed via Richmond, BC (don't ask me why) has spent the past week stuck in customs.  Instead of being delivered to me yesterday it's now not due until next Thursday!  So much for spending the weekend playing with the new limited edition ...
