A few weeks ago I was challenged to create a project using layout sketch as my inspiration. This was based on the card in the bottom right-hand corner on page 88 of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. The original card uses products from the very Christmassy Tidings of Christmas suite so I was determined to make a non-Christmas card. With that in mind I selected the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set and set to work. It's only now, weeks later, that I'm struck by a certain irony. What could be more ... VIEW POST
Daisy Lane For Family Get-Togethers
In case you hadn't realised, three months today will be Christmas Day. But before we get to that we've got Thanksgiving right around the corner. In Canada, Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October and often marked by family get-togethers. Today I wanted to give you an idea for a pretty way to gather up the napkins and silverware (cutlery). So I decided to pull out my Daisy Lane Stamp Set which I haven't used in ages and set to work. QUICK NAPKIN WRAP My project actually began ... VIEW POST
Lavender From Nature’s Harvest Dies
Well today's project came as a total surprise to me. When I first saw the Nature's Harvest Dies I could have sworn there was a wheat die. However this time after I used the die I saw something completely different. Lavender! So I changed my plans and created this card with a scented bonus. A BUNCH OF LAVENDER I began by cutting two of the wheat/lavender pieces from Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. Then using Water Painters I painted the two pieces with clean water followed by coloured ...

It's also the day before the new Mini Catalogue goes live and the second part of the 2021 Sale-A-Bration promotion begins.

WHEAT STALKS My project ... VIEW POST
Friends And Family Time On The Way
How's your day been so far? Mine's been fantastic. Yesterday I went for my second PCR test in Nova Scotia since returning from the UK. It was actually the fifth test I've taken in the past 18 days, but who's counting? Anyway, this morning at 7.10am AST the lab results came through showing I am negative for Covid 19. Not that I expected anything else, but you can never be too sure. Still it means that I can now confidently meet up with friends and family again and I can't wait. Well ... VIEW POST
Reversible Clipboard For Favourite Paper Patterns
Every month when I get my Paper Pumpkin kit I love making up the projects and creating alternate samples. It's great fun and there always seems to be bits left over that I can use on other projects. Not one to waste anything I even use the boxes as storage in my craft studio. Still I was always left with the piece of heavy chipboard that's used to protect the shrink-wrapped kit contents. I've now got quite a collection of these and really had no idea what to do with them until now. So for ... VIEW POST
