You know it’s funny the things that come to mind as I’m considering new projects to make for my blog. Take the other night... I was thinking about bookmarks and the kinds of books people read. I’m a fan of medical thrillers especially by Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs, but I do like other genres too. And then it occurred to me, what about having a different bookmark tailored to each genre! So to kick off that idea I designed this pretty bookmark that’s perfect for all those romance ... VIEW POST
Sentimental Swirls For A Simple Card
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I love the new Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set. There’s something really satisfying about stamping those bold outlines. They look good just as they are, or coloured in using a variety of techniques. What’s more, the flowers and one of the leaves coordinate with two punches although they’re certainly not essential. However for today’s simple Sunday project I wanted to concentrate on the largest of the swirls. With some patterned paper and a little ... VIEW POST
Elegantly Said For A Simple Sunday Card
So the several inches of snow that fell earlier this week has all gone thanks to Mother Nature and a deluge overnight. I love it when we don't have to shovel the white stuff off the driveway. The plus 14C on the thermometer is also a welcome change from the minus 13C we saw just a few days ago too. It hardly seems possible that two weeks from today Christmas will be over. So for today's simple Sunday project I wanted to bring you something more spring-like. This card, featuring the ... VIEW POST
It’s Been One Of ‘Those’ Days
Have you ever had one of those days where you thought you were being super organised and on top of things, only to find the exact opposite? Well that's been me today. For more than a week I've been planning my contribution to a blog hop involving a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. The blog post was done and my part of the Tutorial PDF completed. All I had to do was wait until 3pm Atlantic Time for it to go live. Unfortunately, it's only now I've realised that I've ...

Hand-Penned Birthday Reminder
With all the focus now on Christmas (and Thanksgiving in the US) it's easy to forget that other reasons to send cards doesn't stop. People are still getting engaged and married, having babies and celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, retirement and more. So today I decided to bring you a floral birthday card using pretty Hand-Penned paper. PRETTY PENNED FLOWERS I actually created this card as part of my 24 cards in 24 hours challenge marking World Card Making Day last month. If you ... VIEW POST
Positive Thoughts For Another Simple Sunday
Ooh I'm feeling a chill in the air that has no place in July. I've almost been tempted to put the heating on, but instead I'll grab a sweater and socks. On a positive note the damp ground means the mowing will have to wait. Instead, I get to spend those hours playing in my craft studio. I'm still decluttering and reorganising so there will be a little work going on. Creating pretty projects using some new products from Stampin' Up! will be my reward. Meanwhile for today's simple Sunday ... VIEW POST
