It's Monday, and time for another What Will You Stamp? challenge. Of course as a member of the Design Team that means I have to come up with something to inspire you. The rules are the same, chose at least one stamp from the featured set and use it to create an inspiring project. This week the challenge is #WWYS215 Flourishing Phrases. So I decided to team that with a retiring stamp set to create a vintage-style wedding card. TIMELESS TEXTURES Although the challenge stamp set is ... VIEW POST
Unstoppable and Proud
Today is International Women's Day and I decided I wanted to create a project to celebrate a woman that I admire immensely, my daughter.

What I have got though is the All Things Thanks Stamp Set which is the next best ... VIEW POST
Beautiful Sentiment Simple Colours

Labels To Love Rediscovered
Even though it's only September, I'm having a hard time staying away from my Christmas stamp sets. I suppose it's because they're new, and sitting in a little stack on my craft desk. So I'm making a special effort to rediscover some of my older, but still available Stampin' Up! sets. Today my attention turned to Labels to Love Stamp Set. Yes I know it's got a lot of Christmas images, but there's others in there too. I grabbed the give thanks image with two little leafy branches and set to ... VIEW POST
