So as the weather cools down and then warms up we're obviously heading into autumn. We're not quite into sweater weather yet, but it's coming. I think I'm ready, or am I? I suppose my problem is that the actual weather never quite lives up to the exciting or romanticised scenes I have in my head. The only one that comes close is winter after a fresh snowfall. This is of course until I have to start shovelling. It was for this reason that I couldn't resist the Peaceful Place 12" x 12" ... VIEW POST
Knit One, Emboss One, Tag Fun
Every now and then Stampin' Up! creates a stamp that's so amazing I believe everyone needs it. Knit Together from the July to December 2021 Mini Catalogue is one such stamp. As soon as I saw this image I knew it had to be included in my first order. Knit Together is a large background stamp that quite simply mimics a piece of knitting. What's more there's no special techniques needed to get an stunning effect, as my project today shows, KNIT TOGETHER This gift tag was actually one ... VIEW POST
Dressed To Impress With A Lipstick Or Two
Today's project was one of those happy accidents that happen from time to time. I was sorting through through some of my older but still available stamp sets and came across Dressed To Impress.

Strawberry Trellis For Mothering Sunday
It's Mothering Sunday in the UK and for the first time in over 10 years I'm spending it with my daughter and granddaughters. The sun is shining and it promises to be a lovely day. For today's simple Sunday project I have a quick and easy bookmark idea using the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set. It would be the perfect with a personal handwritten message on the back and slipped into a gifted book. TRELLIS BACKGROUND This project popped into my head as soon as I saw the trellis pattern in the ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Sending Hearts
It's the last Thursday of the month and time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. This month we've been playing with the January kit called Sending Hearts. While it might appear to be a 'Valentines' kit, I have three alternate projects that can be used all year round. TWO FOR ONE My first two projects were created from one card base, the Poppy Parade one in fact. And it was the square pattern that inspired my design. First though I cut a 2" strip off the front of the card ... VIEW POST
Another Puzzling Chicken Question
Forget about why the chicken crossed the road, why did she tie a balloon to her tail? I mean chickens can already fly, sort of. Whatever the reason, you have to admit it's a cute image and the perfect size for a quick bookmark project. CHICKEN COLOURS I began my bookmark as always with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of card, this time in Thick Whisper White. Then I shaped the top and added the hole at the same time using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. Next, from the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp ... VIEW POST
