The Adventure Continues With Count On Me
Every time I think Paper Pumpkin kits can't get any better they up the ante. The July kit called "The Adventure Begins" did it again. With all the supplies to make twelve cards with coordinating envelopes I knew I'd have fun. Despite being tri-fold cards all three designs were really simple to put together. I loved the outdoor theme and immediately an idea for alternate projects popped into my head. What goes well with the great outdoors? Animals of ... VIEW POST
Penguin Cuteness To The Rescue
Despite the fact that I design and make projects every day I still sometimes suffer from creative block. If I'm working to a deadline that can be particularly stressful so I try to get my projects done ahead of time. When my creative mojo deserts me my goto solution is to simply walk away. This is what I did with today's tag project. I'd made the tag and got the streamers. I had the die-cut "happy birthday" in Very Vanilla and Basic Black ready, but from there I was stumped. So I put the ... VIEW POST
Count Me In With Another Example
A few days ago I decorated a picture frame using a sentiment and bear image from the Count On Me Stamp Set. I loved how it turned out and couldn't wait to use that bear again.

Count On A Thunderstorm Today
Today is going to be one of those days to stay in and craft. Not that I mind that, in fact I love it. But the forecast calls for thunderstorms and we've already had one go through this morning. So while I'll be able to craft I can't necessarily count on having power. That means heat embossing might or might not get done. Still I've lots of other goodies to play with so I suppose I'll just have to manage. lol COUNT ON ME If we do lose power it will mean no computer or internet so ... VIEW POST
Friends And Family Time On The Way
How's your day been so far? Mine's been fantastic. Yesterday I went for my second PCR test in Nova Scotia since returning from the UK. It was actually the fifth test I've taken in the past 18 days, but who's counting? Anyway, this morning at 7.10am AST the lab results came through showing I am negative for Covid 19. Not that I expected anything else, but you can never be too sure. Still it means that I can now confidently meet up with friends and family again and I can't wait. Well ... VIEW POST
