Although I spent time yesterday preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Fiona I did get a little sidetracked in my craft studio. My regular followers will know I have a hard time parting with scraps, I’d much rather find a use for them. So when I discovered some stray pieces from the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack I just had to use them up. Armed with the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Celebrate With Tags Stamp Set and the coordinating Celebrations Tag Dies I set to ... VIEW POST
Inspired By Sadness
Yesterday was a momentous day as we learned of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. While we were separated by an ocean, my daughter and I watched the news unfold. Having heard that the Royal Family were all converging on Balmoral Castle in Scotland we knew things were not good. However when the news finally broke it still brought with it a sense of shock. We have never known a world without The Queen. Her selfless sense of duty inspired many and her presence will be sorely ... VIEW POST
Brushstroke Paper Is Lightweight
If you saw yesterday’s blog post you’ll know that project happened as a follow-on from something else I’d made. Then it was the ink colour used on a bookmark that inspired the subsequent card. Well obviously there must be something in the air as today’s project follows on from that! This time it was the He’s All That Stamp Set I used yesterday that inspired today’s project. So with the coordinating All That Dies and gorgeous Brushstroke 12” x 12” Specialty Paper this is what I finally came up ... VIEW POST
Starry Sky Monochrome
Do you make one project and walk away, or do you create several in one sitting? For me it often comes down to inspiration. I often think of new project ideas while I’m still working on something else. For this reason I generally keep a notebook handy so I can write things down before I forget. Other times it’s not a specific project that I think of, but rather a desire to keep using a particular product. That’s how I ended up with this birthday card in monochrome Starry Sky. DECORATIVE ...

Texture Chic Is Back
Despite the well reported “global shipping crisis” I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how Stampin’ Up! has managed to maintain supplies of their products. That’s not say some things don’t go out of stock occasionally, but it really is only a very small percentage of items. The Texture Chic 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) was briefly on that list. Thankfully it’s back and I can now show you this simple masculine / gender-neutral “Thinking of You” card. I think the design would work ... VIEW POST
Christmas Money
It’s August 31st, and here in Nova Scotia the last day of the meteorological summer is going to be hot and humid. So naturally I’m thinking of cooler weather and looking forward to Christmas. As I sat down to create today’s project I decided it was time for another slimline card idea. Then while I was working it struck me that slimline cards are the perfect solution for those gifts of money, or concert / theatre tickets. How is it I’ve not thought of that before? Better late than ... VIEW POST
