In case you hadn't realised, three months today will be Christmas Day. But before we get to that we've got Thanksgiving right around the corner. In Canada, Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October and often marked by family get-togethers. Today I wanted to give you an idea for a pretty way to gather up the napkins and silverware (cutlery). So I decided to pull out my Daisy Lane Stamp Set which I haven't used in ages and set to work. QUICK NAPKIN WRAP My project actually began ... VIEW POST
Hello To A New Month and Bonus Days
Hello and happy Canada Day! Once again we've come to the beginning of a new month and my To Do list has exploded. My morning started well and then it's gradually gone downhill from there. Of course after the excitement of placing my pre-order for products from the upcoming August to June Mini Catalogue I shouldn't be surprised. So for today's project I couldn't help but start with red and white card. Then after a little cutting, punching, embossing and sticking I had a fun new magnet for ... VIEW POST
Too Early For Cinnamon Cider?
I love a new Stampin' Up! catalogue, especially a new Annual Catalogue. This is the time we get a new set of In Colors - five new colours that will be with us for just two years. They are designed to complement each other and the other 45 colours in the Stampin' Up! range. For today's project I simply couldn't resist including Cinnamon Cider. It's a lovely lighter brown with warm orange tones. I love it already and have lots of ideas for future projects. For this project I've combined this ... VIEW POST
Brighten Your Day With Pineapple Punch
Today is a day off from working in the pharmacy and I had a very rare lie-in. So consequently I will be playing catch-up for most of the day. It's not all bad though as all my tasks relate to my crafting and Stampin' Up! business. I'm beginning work on a new project collaboration and have a video conference scheduled for noon. It's top secret right now, but I can tell you I'm really excited about it. Despite the fresh snowfall yesterday I'm definitely in a brighter mood. So I thought I'd ... VIEW POST
Still Looking For Bright Colours
It's grey and miserable today and not very inviting outside. So I've decided to stay snug and warm in my studio playing with bright colours. I love how they immediately cheer me up, like on this card I created on World Card Making Day earlier this month. BRIGHT COLOURS When I began this card I wanted it to be really bright so I chose Lovely Lipstick and Granny Apple Green ink pads. For the sentiment I went with Basic Gray. All the stamps I needed were in the Daisy Lane Stamp ... VIEW POST
Simply a sunny daisy
What is it about daisies that make me want to smile? Whether it's a tiny daisy in the lawn, or a big bright gerbera I simply love them. I suppose that's why I love the Daisy Delight and Daisy Lane Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! Of course the fact that there are now two different sized coordinating daisy punches doesn't hurt either. Today's simple Sunday project is a sweet and sunny daisy bookmark, with a little extra on the side... BASIC BOOKMARK BASE I began with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip ... VIEW POST
