Yesterday I went through my craft studio marking the products from the August to December Mini Catalogue that are retiring. While I'm always sad to see things go, I know that it makes way for new goodies. My challenge over the coming weeks is to remind you of some of the things you might want to get while they're still available. Today I've managed to combine four retiring products on one project. These are the Feels Like Frost 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Balmy Blue Glimmer ... VIEW POST
Step By Step Ornament Colouring
Today's project was supposed to be a quick gift tag using one of the ornament images from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set.

A MOSSY MEADOW START I began this project by using my new Paper Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Mossy Meadow Card. Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder. Next I cut a ... VIEW POST
Our Stormy Outlook
After an extremely busy day yesterday I came home late and very tired and pretty much went straight to bed. This morning I awoke thinking I'd have a bit of a lazy day, but now I'm not so sure. Hurricane Dorian is on the move again and back up to a Category 3 hurricane. It's still hugging the US eastern seaboard but apparently has Nova Scotia in its sights.
