Yesterday I brought you a sneak peek of another new paper pack from the July to December Mini Catalogue. Despite the Boughs of Holly name there was no holly on my project (and very little in the pack as a whole). Today’s sneak peek features one of the gorgeous new ribbons that will be available from Friday. With a combination of Very Vanilla satin and shiny gold it’s definitely not just for Christmas. To show off the ribbon I pulled out the Pretty Pillowbox Dies, but didn’t make a ... VIEW POST
Honeybee Home Easel Calendar For 2022
Happy New Year everyone, and welcome to 2022. I'm not quite sure where 2021 went but very thankful it's gone. Somehow last year seemed to fly by and now we get to look forward to better times (hopefully). For the past few years I've created an easel calendar / Post-It® Note holder and this has been a popular project. So I see no reason to change my routine. This year's theme is bees, and for that I needed the new Honeybee Home Stamp Set and coordinating Honeybee Blooms Dies. Instead of a ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop – New Year’s Resolutions
This month our theme is "New Year's Resolutions" which left quite a lot of room for interpretation. Every year I`m determined to improve my organisation and so I decided to create a perpetual calendar as my contribution to the IDEAS tutorial bundle PDF. With a perpetual calendar you write down birthdays, anniversaries and other events that occur on the same date each year. But unlike a traditional annual calendar you can keep using it year after year. My version includes twelve individual ... VIEW POST
It’s Been One Of ‘Those’ Days
Have you ever had one of those days where you thought you were being super organised and on top of things, only to find the exact opposite? Well that's been me today. For more than a week I've been planning my contribution to a blog hop involving a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. The blog post was done and my part of the Tutorial PDF completed. All I had to do was wait until 3pm Atlantic Time for it to go live. Unfortunately, it's only now I've realised that I've ...

Peaceful Place Just Got More Interesting
With patterned paper it's sometimes difficult to use up small pieces as the patterns are too large. But with the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) there's lots of ways to cut it and use it. The monochrome colour scheme is great as it is but also works well with additional pops of colour added. Today I decided to do just that to create a quick and easy Post-It Note® cover. PEACEFUL PLACE The scrap of Peaceful Place DSP I had was actually a little larger than I ... VIEW POST
Remember It’s Almost Father’s Day
It's only 11 days to Father's Day so I've been thinking about masculine and gender-neutral projects. Last month I showed you a decorated pocket photo album for Father's Day, and today I have another gift idea. It's been ages since I jazzed up a Post-It® Note pad, so that's what I set out to create. It's a simple design using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Days To Remember Stamp Set. BEAUTY OF THE EARTH I really love the Beauty of the Earth DSP. With rich ...
