One of the things that really makes me happy is knowing that I don't waste my crafting products. I don't mean that I never mess up a project, because I do. Sometimes I can 'save' it with a little trimming, or cover up an inky mark with embellishments. Very occasionally I bin it and start again, although I never beat myself up about that. But what I'm talking about is making sure that I get the most out consumables like paper and card. For me it's simple things like keeping small pieces in ... VIEW POST
Scrapbooking The Turtle-y Loved
As the keeper of our family history you'd think that I do a lot of scrapbooking. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. While designing cards, tags and other projects comes easily to me, scrapbooking is a completely different issue. So no one was more surprised than I when I found myself creating today's project using the Turtle Friends Stamp Set and coordinating punch. TURTLE-Y LOVED It all started with the "You are turtle-y loved" sentiment. "Turtle" is a term of ... VIEW POST

Penned Flowers Simply Make Me Smile
One of the biggest things I've noticed with recent Stampin' Up! catalogues is the increase in coordinating products. When a new stamp set comes out people often ask about coordinating dies or punches. The new 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue has seven stamp set/punch bundles, plus twenty seven stamp set/dies bundles! What's even better is that buying products using a 'bundle' item number will save you 10% off the cost of buying the same two items separately. One of the bundles I bought as part of ... VIEW POST
A Great Day If You Like Gift Tags
For today's 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue sneak peek I wanted to focus on the Tailor Made Tags Dies. In my opinion this is the 'must-have' product from the new catalogue, especially if you like making gift tags. Keep reading though as I couldn't resist using a some other new products to create this pretty tag. A DAY TO REMEMBER I began with the "A day to remember" sentiment from the new Days To Remember Stamp Set. Using Tuxedo Black ink I stamped the sentiment onto some Thick Basic White ... VIEW POST
