Say It Isn’t Snow!

April 6, 2019 4 Comments

Oh yes, at 7.00 am this morning it started snowing. Thankfully it's supposed to change over to rain later, but even so... What's more, we have potentially six inches of the white stuff coming our way later next week! Look, I'm bored with this now. All I want is to be able to look out the window and see green grass and colourful flowers. Not a blanket of snow, however pretty it might appear. Is that too much to hope for? I guess I'll simply have to make my own spring indoors ... VIEW POST

Another Golden Afternoon

February 16, 2019 2 Comments

The Golden Afternoon Stamp Set is one of those sets that I think can be easily overlooked. There's no clever layering or coordinating products, just a couple of tree images, some flying birds and a selection of sentiments. But it's the kind of set that I think can be really valuable in a papercrafter's collection. The trees are delicately drawn and can work on a background as well as a focal point. Of course the birds would be the ideal addition to any number of 'scenes'. Finally the ... VIEW POST

Too Much Tufted Fun

February 9, 2019 6 Comments

Today I start with an apology for the lateness of my blog. I've no excuse other than I was having too much fun creating today's project and forgot about the time. So hopefully better late than never, here's a gift tag using the Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. LUXURIOUSLY TUFTED BASE I started this project with a vague idea for a really luxurious looking base. So I cut a 2" x 4-1/4" piece of Merry Merlot Card and dampened it with clean water using a Stampin' ... VIEW POST

Golden Afternoon (I Wish)

January 25, 2019 Leave a Comment

Well once again we're in the middle of a storm, all wind and rain this time, but still... What's more, looking at the forecast there's not going to be much of a respite. Right now we have two more systems heading our way, and these may bring snow. What I would give for a few sunny days. In fact right now I'd settle for just one golden afternoon. I suppose today's project came out of that wish for nicer weather when I can sit on the deck and appreciate our lovely rural surroundings. The ... VIEW POST
