Yesterday I received a parcel of goodies from Stampin’ Up! and I couldn’t wait to get them unpacked. It was mostly new Stampin’ Blends and Stampin’ Write Markers plus a few packs of cardstock. But amongst them were a couple of stamp sets along with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. As soon as it was unpacked I had to experiment and created a vintage-style bookmark. But while looking for an ‘old’ book for the photo I was delighted and amazed to discover one containing a family inscription ... VIEW POST
Blends On DistINKtive® Images
One of the perks of living in rural Nova Scotia is most definitely the scenery. This morning I was up early and as I looked out the window I was treated to a spectacular sunrise. It actually made the maple trees in our front yard look like they were glowing. Fortunately I quickly snapped a few photos as minutes later the glow was gone. All that was left was a moody sky and more muted autumn colours. That inspired today’s bookmark project using Stampin’ Blends over a DistINKtive stamped ... VIEW POST
Smiles & Sadness
Today I’m little sad as our granddaughter returns home to the UK after spending 3 weeks with us here in Nova Scotia. We’ve been shopping across the border in Maine, attended a powwow in Truro, and walked on the ocean floor at Wasson Bluff. But the highlight was most definitely whale watching in the Bay of Fundy.

Nature’s Inspiration
Did you know I try to only use currently available products when making projects for my blog? That’s because I know how frustrating it is to fall in love with a product only to find I can’t actually get it for myself. So the other day I was checking availability of an Online Exclusive item, but while doing so I was reminded of the Christmas Gifting Kit. I’ve always loved the stag silhouette in that kit and decided to add the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set to create this striking ... VIEW POST
Florist Wannabe
Have you seen the Paper Florist Dies yet? They’re what I refer to as a sleeper product, one that’s easily overlooked. This is because they’re a stand-alone item, and not linked to a specific stamp set. Even I missed it on page 165 of the Stampin’ Up! 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue the first few times I looked through it. The big thing for me about these dies is the versatility of mixing and matching the various shapes. Today’s project came about after I found a random 1” circle magnet on my ... VIEW POST
Soft Seedlings
It’s all happening today! New seasonal products have been added to to the Online Exclusives range. Selected Paper Pumpkin past kits, refill kits and add-on products are on sale at up to 50% off today and tomorrow. Plus the Clearance Rack has been updated with one final chance to buy some retired products. One of the stamp sets unexpectedly re-available while stocks last is Soft Seedlings. So I took advantage of this unexpected opportunity to create a pretty “thinking of you” card, inspired by ... VIEW POST
