It’s no secret that I’m a book lover. And by books I mean real ink on paper type of books. It’s true that I do have an e-reader. However that’s just because it makes taking a stack of books on vacation a lot easier on the luggage allowance. But there’s something about holding a book and turning the pages that I don’t get from the electronic version. Reading, like crafting, is when I take some much needed ‘me time”, and that inspired today’s project using the retiring Playful Alphabet ... VIEW POST
Greenery Comes And Goes
Finally we’ve had more spring-like weather with sun and milder temperatures. I’m not convinced we’ve seen the last of the snow but hopefully no more winter storms. The grass is starting to turn green and the forsythia at the end of the drive is covered in buds. So it saddens me to have to say goodbye to the Greenery Embossing Folders. This pack of two folders is sized to fit the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and perfect for spring projects. Today I created this folded “thank you” gift ... VIEW POST
Encircled In Beauty Retires
When a product is retired by Stampin' Up! I stop using it on my blog projects. This is because I'd hate you to fall in love with something you can no longer buy. Many of these products are then sold off to make room for new things. But there are always exceptions for products that will definitely stay for my own private use. The Encircled In Beauty Dies fall into that latter category. I love being able to create doilies in any colour I want, and in multiple sizes too. ENCIRCLED IN ... VIEW POST
Romance Was Top Of Mind
You know it’s funny the things that come to mind as I’m considering new projects to make for my blog. Take the other night... I was thinking about bookmarks and the kinds of books people read. I’m a fan of medical thrillers especially by Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs, but I do like other genres too. And then it occurred to me, what about having a different bookmark tailored to each genre! So to kick off that idea I designed this pretty bookmark that’s perfect for all those romance ... VIEW POST
Caught Up In The Moment
I’ve always been enthralled by nature, and even more so since moving to Nova Scotia. We’re very fortunate to have a large piece of land that attracts all sorts of wildlife. Just recently we’ve been treated to daily visits from a number of white tailed deer and today was no exception. Although I counted 10 deer eating at various spots, what caught my attention was something just off to the side, two small fawns hidden in the long grass. At that moment I couldn’t help but simply stand and ... VIEW POST
Timeless Tulips For A Get Well Project
I’ve been dealing with a nasty cold for the past few days. I may have got it from hubby who wasn’t brilliant last week. Not COVID – we both tested then and were negative. Unfortunately my sore throat got worse and so yesterday we tested again. This time we’re both positive. Thankfully our symptoms aren’t severe, but we’re self-isolating as per the provincial regulations. On the upside I get more time in my craft studio. Earlier I chose the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set to make this sweet ‘get ... VIEW POST
