Oh how quickly the weather changes. These past few mornings have started out quite foggy and there’s a definite chill in the air. Autumn is just around the corner, but I’m not ready to give warmer temperatures just yet. Likewise, as summer draws to a close so does Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration promotion. However you still have until Wednesday to earn free exclusive products with a qualifying order. So today I decided my project should feature the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper available ...

Family Gnomes
When I sit down to create projects I generally have a fairly good idea of what I want to do. Occasionally though things may take an unexpected turn. Most often it’s because I did something I didn’t really intend to do. Sometimes that means I have to do a quick cover up, other times it’s a good ‘mistake’ that I decide I want to keep. But today’s surprise with the Storybook Gnomes paper occurred as I saw the potential in a scrap of card left over from an earlier project. GNOMES PAPER This ... VIEW POST
Planning Those Occasions
As a crafter I’m always looking at the calendar and planning months ahead. Of course having the Stampin’ Up! July to December 2022 Mini Catalogue close to hand helps. It’s full of autumn and winter project ideas, and I have a few select products already on their way. But for me, whether it’s in my family life or in my craft studio, Christmas starts with a notebook. This helps me organise my thoughts and plans, and for this year’s notebook I had to use the Very Best Occasions Stamp ... VIEW POST
No Holly Here
For today’s simple Sunday project I have another sneak peek from the new Mini Catalogue. Much of this catalogue is geared to Christmas crafting and one suite of products immediately caught my attention. It’s called the Boughs of Holly suite featuring a stamp set, coordinating dies, wood embellishments and ribbon. As you’d expect there’s also some Designer Series Paper (DSP). And that’s what I noticed first. This Boughs of Holly 12” x 12” DSP is rather unusual though as there’s very little holly ... VIEW POST
Thoughtful In The Moment
Yesterday's birthday gift tag was all about the New Horizons Designer Series Paper (DSP) background. Plus of course, that cute stamped, punched and padded hedgehog. Today I decided to keep things clean and simple with another new stamp set called In The Moment. If you've enjoyed the Beautiful Moments or the (now retired) Beautiful You Stamp Sets, you'll love this one. This set has three large line art scenes with three sentiments. While the images are designed to be coloured, it's not ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Cabin Is Retiring Soon
I'm not sure where the weekend went, but I'm pretty sure it decided to clock out early. We're still awaiting the arrival of a big rain and wind storm. There's still more we want to get done outside before we hunker down to ride out the worst of the weather. On the plus side at least it's not snow that will need shovelling! So while we get on with our preparations you to get to enjoy today's project. It's a simple Christmas card created using the Peaceful Cabin Stamp Set. PEACEFUL ... VIEW POST
