Today's project once again uses a number of retiring products. It's one that I'm sure has been done before in some way, but I simply couldn't resist it. So using the retiring Coming Home Stamp Set and Balloon Bouquet Punch here's my bookmark tribute to the movie Up! BALLOONS I began my bookmark by cutting a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of the retiring Thick Whisper White Card. Then I shaped one end using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Next I created the cloudy sky using Seaside Spray ink and ... VIEW POST
Brightly Gleaming One Final Time
We're now at the point where retiring products are selling out and others are showing as low inventory. So that makes it harder for me to create projects using items are still available to buy. Today I managed it using my favourite but retiring Wrapped in Christmas Stamp Set. I paired it with the tree-scape die from the retiring Home Together Dies. Then I overlaid that onto a stunning design from the retiring Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper (DSP). BRIGHTLY GLEAMING ... VIEW POST
Zany Zebra Enjoys My Sea-nery
After a couple of Christmas cards I thought it was time for something different. So today I have another project from my 24 cards in 24 hours challenge.

Simply A Textured Country Scene
Despite the Christmas and winter projects I've been making recently I'm still not quite ready to give up on summer. We can see the leaves changing colour and there's a chill in the morning air, but hopefully there's little more of the season left to enjoy. So instead of my planned autumn project today I ended up with a greener country scene pocket photo album. COUNTRY SCENE I began with the pocket photo album I'd purchased recently at the Dollar Store. It's designed to be used with 4" ... VIEW POST
Home to work and back again
Every year I make myself a notebook to record my car expenses. I know you can buy pre-printed books for this purpose but they're so cramped I gave up on them several years ago. Since then Stampin' Up! has always obliged me by releasing just the right images and/or sentiments. This year it was the Coming Home Stamp Set that provided the inspiration for my 2021 vehicle notebook. COMING HOME Having decided to use images from the Coming Home Stamp Set I started with those. Using Tuxedo ... VIEW POST
Home is where the heart is
In case you were wondering, Christmas Day is twenty weeks today. A couple of people I've mentioned this to seem less than impressed so I thought it best not to add insult to injury with a Christmas project. That didn't stop me reaching for some new products from the Stampin' Up! August to December Mini Catalogue though. As it turned out my Coming Home gift tag could be for just about any time of year. BIG HOME SMALL HOME This project all started with the Coming Home Stamp Set and a ... VIEW POST
