In case you haven’t glanced at the calendar yet, let me point out that it’s September 25th. That means there’s only 3 months until Christmas. It’s just a touch scary the way the year is flying by, and December will be here before we know it. I'd planned to be much further ahead with my seasonal crafting by now, but once again I’m playing catch up. So for today’s project I created this fun gift tag with a definite Santa vibe using a sentiment from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set. BRIGHTEST GLOW ... VIEW POST
Whale Watching Again
Last month I had a great time with my 12 year old granddaughter who came to visit us from the UK for 3 weeks. She’s been to Canada many times but this was her first vacation without the rest of her family. We obviously indulged in the obligatory shopping and eating, and trying new things. But the highlight of the trip for us both was whale watching in the Bay of Fundy. Seeing the humpback whales close up was an incredible experience and definitely one we intend to do again. Of course as ... VIEW POST
Beary Christmas
A few days ago on my Facebook page I asked people to let me know what kind of Christmas cards they preferred; traditional, religious or cute. Well so far the majority has voted for traditional ones, with religious coming in second. Of course now I need to work out what ‘traditional’ looks like. In the meantime I decided to create something cute, Beary Cute in fact. After all it’s not about what we like as givers, it’s about understanding what the receiver likes, and for someone this is image ... VIEW POST
Things To Remember
Well those two days certainly flew by! Mind you they were quite productive. The new products have definitely got my creative brain going. I’ve made a good start on my Mini Catalogue sneak peeks although I have lots more to do. Today I must remember to photograph the completed projects and get them ready for Wednesday’s sneak peek kick-off. Meanwhile I decorated this mini sticky notes pad using products from the Annual Catalogue. Now to go through the Mini Catalogue again and tag all the other ... VIEW POST
Musical, Merry & Bright
With a daily blog to write I am always looking for inspiration for my next project (or six). Sometimes I know exactly where an idea came from, but not today. Today was one of those days where my card seemed to just happen without any conscious effort on my part. Perhaps that’s how I sat down in a heatwave with the music-themed Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder and ended up with a Christmas card. However, having chosen a purple colour scheme contrasted with black, this card is anything but ... VIEW POST
Alphabest Gift
This summer our eldest granddaughter Alyssa is coming to stay for a few weeks and we’re all very excited about her visit. There’s the obligatory shopping, of course, which prompted me to design this personalised gift card holder using the Alphabest Stamp Set. We’re also making plans for other things to do while she’s here. We have some tours and excursions booked already that she knows about, but I’m hoping to slip some surprises in there too. So the Tim Horton’s gift card will likely be ... VIEW POST
