Nothing’s better than? Well that depends on the situation. First thing in the morning it’s a nice hot cup of coffee for me. After a few days of rushing around, it’s the chance to have a lie-in. When my schedule has been filled with things I have to do for other people, it’s having time to myself. Most often I’ll spend that in my craft studio. It’s where I go to de-stress and exercise my creativity. So for this week’s simple Sunday blog post this stamp set seemed particularly appropriate. ... VIEW POST
Best Remedy For Today
Oops, sorry I’m late but I got rather distracted and instead of creating one card for today’s post I made three! I started out with no idea what I was going to make and reached for the nearest thing on my desk. This just happened to be the newest all-inclusive stamping kit from Stampin’ Up! called “Best Remedy”. Although there’s full instructions and all the prepared pieces to make 9 cards with envelopes (3 each of 3 different designs), I decided to improvise, and once I got going I couldn’t ... VIEW POST
Sneak Peek No More!
Happy Canada Day everyone! While enjoying blueberry pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast I’ve been updating my website with some new links. First up is a link to the new Stampin’ Up! July to December Mini Catalogue. This is where you’ll find lots of new products for your autumn and winter crafting. Meanwhile don’t forget to look at the latest Sale-A-Bration Brochure containing stamp sets, dies and paper that you can earn for free with a qualifying order. But first here’s a quick summary of all ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing: Pick Of The Crop
It's the last Thursday of the month and time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. This month we're exploring the Pick of the Crop card kit. I must be honest and say that I'm not a huge fan of fruit and vegetable-themed stamp sets but this kit surprised me. Once I actually began playing with it I just couldn't stop. When I opened up the kit I really couldn't see myself making lots of cards. Instead I immediately thought of all the other food-related projects that I could ... VIEW POST
Last Of The Mischievous Mice
We're now one week into the Last Chance promotion for the January to June 2022 Mini Catalogue. As I suspected, the New Horizons 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) sold out very quickly. So now that and a number of other sold out products are gone for good. Over the next week or two my plan is to bring you projects using some of the other retiring products while they remain available. Today’s I've created a sweet mini pocket photo album featuring the last of the Mischievous Mice ... VIEW POST
Sweet Strawberry Swansong
I'm still working my way through the Retiring List and giving them all one last hurrah. Today’s project features four retiring products... the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and the coordinating Strawberry Builder Punch, plus the Ornate Frames and Tasteful Labels Dies. These two sets of dies have been a staple in my craft studio and therefore I’ll probably miss them the most. The Strawberry Builder Punch also coordinates with the Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set in the January to June 2022 Mini ... VIEW POST
