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.

Fairy Celebration And Butterfly Wings
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.

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
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 ... VIEW POST
