If you've been following my blog for a while you'll know that I love a good pun. So you can only imagine how egg-cited I was to get the December Paper Pumpkin kit called Lots of Pun. I simply had to start playing with it right away, and I haven't run out of ideas yet! Here's just a couple of them, especially for this month's A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. Oh, and I couldn't help including a little new product sneak peek too... The exclusive stamp set included the Lots Of Pun kit ... VIEW POST
Christmas Kitchen Tip With Lots Of Pun
With Christmas only a few days away thoughts now turn to the kitchen. Or more specifically the freezer and the certain knowledge that I'm bound to forget to take something out. While making my last few craft projects I am simultaneously thinking about the food I need/want to prepare. So this is how I ended up with today's bookmark project using some bits from the December Paper Pumpkin kit called Lots of Pun. As well as marking my place in a recipe book my bookmark is going to help me stay ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Sunday And Making Plans
Yesterday was another busy day for me as I attended my final craft fair of the season. This one was at the Fundy Geological Museum in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia and as usual very well organised. It was good to see so many people taking the opportunity to buy from local crafts people. While I love attending these events and meeting customers old and new, it can be quite a tiring day overall. So my Sunday will be spent relaxing and planning for the rest of the month. But first I needed to create ... VIEW POST
Sweets & Treats Is Not Quite Done Yet
I've been going through my stamp sets and other products from the July to December 2021 Mini Catalogue that are about to retire. It's always a bitter sweet moment as I hate to say goodbye to my favourites. However it's tempered by the excitement at all the lovely new things that are coming. So until then I'm going to make the most of the time I have left. Today's project uses the retiring Sweets & Treats Stamp Set to make a Christmas fridge magnet to hold those last minute ... VIEW POST
Happy Chocolate Cupcake Day
How is it Monday again? It feels like there's altogether too many Mondays in a week. Still today is a better Monday than most as it's also Chocolate Cupcake Day. Yep apparently that's a thing, and who am I to argue? Now all I need to do is find a chocolate cupcake. I'm not much of a baker, unlike my daughter and especially my son-in-law, but I can stamp. So here's my contribution to this special day... CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE & FROSTING I've been having a lot of fun with the Sweets ... VIEW POST
Sweets & Treats For A Simple Project
After my World Card Making Day 24 hour marathon at the weekend I wanted to create something quick and easy to wind down. So what better way to practice my colouring and design ideas than on a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of card. Of course it certainly doesn't hurt that I can turn that strip into a bookmark with a punch and a bit of ribbon. So out came the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set and a bunch of Stampin' Blends alcohol markers... On my strip of Thick Whisper White Card I first needed to stamp ... VIEW POST
