Colours for Inspiration

August 15, 2019 2 Comments

As I design and make new projects every day I'm always looking for new inspiration. Sometimes it's an event, it could be something I've seen on TV, or when I'm out and about. At times I may join a design challenge where a layout sketch or theme starts the process. I've even made things where I have absolutely no idea where the inspiration came from, not that I'm complaining. Today I want to start an occasional series where I offer you inspiration in the form of colours. FOCAL ... VIEW POST

Fairy Celebration And Butterfly Wings

May 6, 2019 2 Comments

This week the What Will You Stamp? Challenge is #WWYS218 - Butterfly Gala. This is a really lovely set that's being carried over into the new Stampin' Up! 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue. Butterflies are so pretty and I can't wait to see them now that the warmer weather has finally arrived. I've no doubt you'll see lots of butterflies from the rest of the WWYS Design Team so as usual I opted for something a little different. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to ink up Fairy Celebration one last ... VIEW POST

Music themed note card created using the Sheet Music and Better Together Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up!

Sorry You’re Leaving, Sheet Music

May 2, 2019 Leave a Comment

A number of background stamps are on the retiring list and stocks are only guaranteed until May 24th. One of them is Sheet Music. I've really enjoyed having this image around as it works for so many occasions. Of course I like playing with words so it should come as no surprise that my final project using the Sheet Music Stamp should be a 'Note Card'. SHEET MUSIC I began my project with the Mint Macaron ombre design from the retiring Delightfully Detailed Note Cards & Envelopes. ... VIEW POST

Wishing You Well As You Go

April 20, 2019 2 Comments

While processing the impact of the Stampin' Up! Retiring List, I look through my catalogues and mark off the items that are going. This year there was one big surprise, and that was the retirement of a set that was not in the Annual or Occasions Catalogue. You see, normally sets that carry over from the Holiday Catalogue all appear in the next Annual Catalogue. This year however there was one notable exception, Wishing You Well. So before it's gone for good, I really wanted to remind you ... VIEW POST

WWYS188 Takeout Treats

October 1, 2018 4 Comments

So we're back at another Monday morning, and once again I'm wondering where the past week went.  Maybe it's my age but I swear time has speeded up at an alarming rate.  Being Monday, it's time for another What Will You Stamp? Challenge.  This week it's WWYS188 - Takeout Treats. The stamp set is designed for all those treats and little gifts you'll need over the coming months.  Yes there is one Halloween sentiment, but there's also Christmas, thank you, love and other options too.  So for my ...
