Every now and then I get an idea and when I have a few minutes to spare I give it a try. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Today's quick project has a little of both, but I thought it worth showing you anyway. The not so successful task was combining Bermuda Bay and Shaded Spruce inks. I think I was a bit over-enthusiastic with the Shaded Spruce and the Bermuda Bay kind of got lost. However my idea to use two contrasting colours of baker's twine was definitely a hit for ...

Lots of Thanks For Little Things
Of all the cards that I sell, my thank you and birthday cards are probably the most popular. This means they're also the ones I design most often.

Encircled With New Project Ideas
One of the things I love about new products is the opportunity to experiment with different techniques.

But we don't lose one box without gaining another, and that's what I have for you today. In the 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue one of the new packaging ... VIEW POST
Scrapbooking The Turtle-y Loved
As the keeper of our family history you'd think that I do a lot of scrapbooking. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. While designing cards, tags and other projects comes easily to me, scrapbooking is a completely different issue. So no one was more surprised than I when I found myself creating today's project using the Turtle Friends Stamp Set and coordinating punch. TURTLE-Y LOVED It all started with the "You are turtle-y loved" sentiment. "Turtle" is a term of ... VIEW POST
