It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another IDEAS blog hop. This month our theme is “Colour Me Happy". It’s no secret that I love the 2023-2025 In Colors and so I decided to create all my projects using three of the five; Boho Blue, Copper Clay and Wild Wheat. For the IDEAS Tutorial bundle I designed two cards and a gift card holder using a simple watermark technique. But not before I painted with In Color inks and did a little embossing to create an eye-catching notebook ... VIEW POST
Fresh Thoughts
After yesterday’s torrential downpours I’ve decided I’m done with the rain. We definitely needed it, but I’d be happier if Mother Nature restricted the deluge to the wildfire areas in the south of the province now. The weather doesn’t even need to be terribly warm, I’d just like to see a blue sky again. While I wait I’ll have to be satisfied with today’s card project using a design from the Fresh As A Daisy 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack together with the Go To Greetings Stamp ...

Paper Florist Dies
Today’s going to be a scorcher of a day. Unfortunately it’s not what we need here in Nova Scotia where we’re battling numerous wildfires. While my little corner of the province is not currently affected, it only needs a small spark to change that. In fact yesterday we felt the fear as a fire in our village was reported. Thankfully the volunteer fire department got to it before it caused too much damage. But that was definitely on my mind as I was creating today’s project using the new Paper ... VIEW POST
Bird’s Eye View
And just like that Monday rolls around and it’s time to do some less fun things. Still I was able to spend some quality time in my craft room and completed a few organisational tasks. Of course it’s impossible to go in there without making something and yesterday was no exception. So I opened up a new stamp set called Bird’s Eye View and decided to have a play. I have a feeling the two pairs of glasses will see a lot of use with this set and with others. BIRD'S EYES I began with a 2" x ... VIEW POST
Wonderful Thoughts
As well as being a sucker for cute animal images I’m also a big fan of sentiments. My problem is that I’m not keen on loose scripted fonts, to my eye they appear scruffy. And to be honest if I’d wanted a messy sentiment I’d write it by hand! So when I saw the new Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set I was immediately drawn in. It’s one of those sets that uses two different fonts, a ‘print’ and a ‘script’ (if that makes sense), and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. SIMPLY WONDERFUL Although ... VIEW POST
Countryside Inn Blues
One of my favourite colour combinations is blue and white. There’s something very elegant about these colours, whether it’s a dark navy or something lighter. So I was very excited to see the new Countryside Inn 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the Stampin’ Up! 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue. As well as white and Night of Navy, the patterns use Balmy Blue, the returning Misty Moonlight, and new 2023-2024 InColor Boho Blue. Some of the patterns are geometric, while others feature flowers with ... VIEW POST
