Inspired By Sadness

September 9, 2022 4 Comments

Yesterday was a momentous day as we learned of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. While we were separated by an ocean, my daughter and I watched the news unfold. Having heard that the Royal Family were all converging on Balmoral Castle in Scotland we knew things were not good. However when the news finally broke it still brought with it a sense of shock. We have never known a world without The Queen. Her selfless sense of duty inspired many and her presence will be sorely ... VIEW POST

Abigail Rose To The Rescue

September 5, 2022 Leave a Comment

My regular readers will know that I’m a list-maker. I suppose I’ve always been like that, however as I get older I find having a to-do list invaluable. That’s not to say I’m not flexible. Sometimes plans need to be changed. Like today. Today I was supposed to be taking part in an international blog hop, but it’s been rescheduled to next week. That meant I needed to create an alternative project for today’s blog post. So I reached for the Abigail Rose suite and designed this pretty card ... VIEW POST

Kraft Bag Inspired

July 24, 2022 Leave a Comment

Three weeks ago I showed you an idea for decorating a Kraft bag with a stamped and coloured panel. I loved the simplicity of this idea and thought it would make a great greetings card too. So today before the heat of the day becomes unbearable I decided to give it a try. Despite using the same ink and Stampin’ Blends colours, the Very Vanilla envelope and card liner look quite different to the front panel. But even so I’m delighted with the finished result of this simple Sunday ... VIEW POST

Cottage Rose Surprised Me

July 12, 2022 Leave a Comment

When you sit down to make something do you have a fixed plan that you follow? Or do you just start and then see where the products take you? Mostly for me it’s the second option. In fact that’s how I ended up with the striking black and gold gift tag on my blog yesterday. My plan for this project was a simple background and focal point using the Cottage Rose Stamp Set. However when I pulled out the Cottage Flowers Dies they added an extra detail I hadn’t previously considered. COTTAGE ... VIEW POST

Rose So Simple

July 3, 2022 2 Comments

Happy Sunday everyone! It’s my birthday today and it promises to be a good one. I plan to spend it playing in my craft room while listening to my favourite music. Meanwhile hubby will spoil me by making dinner, and hopefully loading up the dishwasher. To celebrate making it through another year I’m going to send everyone who orders through my online store today a special gift. Perhaps I can tempt you with this simple Sunday project; a panel for a brown bag created using the Cottage Rose Stamp ... VIEW POST

Gray For Elegance

June 11, 2022 Leave a Comment

My regular readers will know that I love to get more from my crafting budget. Whether that’s by organising and actually using my scraps, or by combining stamp sets in new ways. Today my project uses minimal supplies with a simple gray colour palette. However for the bookmark base I chose one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies and extended it using a simple technique. It’s another great way to get maximum value from products you already have… or perhaps make investing in a particular set of dies more ... VIEW POST
