It's Family Day in Nova Scotia and I knew exactly what I wanted to make for you today. Family to me means making memories and I love to be able to look back on them. While photos on a phone or other device might be convenient for many, I still love to see some of these special moments printed out and I can't be the only one who feels this way. So here's an idea for a simple pocket photo album cover. COLLECT BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS This scene was created using the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set ... VIEW POST
Summer Scene In The Middle Of Winter
The snow flurries continued to fly yesterday and I decided to spend the day indoors. I still have a number of new stamp sets to try out so it wasn't as if I needed any persuading. For today's Simple Sunday project I wanted to get away, to a warmer, sunnier place. So I pulled out the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set and set to work creating a quick summer scene. FIRST THINGS FIRST Before I could begin stamping I first needed to prepare my bookmark base from Thick Very Vanilla Card. So I ... VIEW POST
Celebrating A Dream Come True

A SIMPLE ONE LAYER DESIGN I began with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Thick Whisper White Card and shaped the top using the Scalloped ... VIEW POST
Ommm Yoga Na Laugh At This
Have you ever looked at something and only seen what you wanted to see? Well that happened to me with the On To Adventure Stamp Set when I saw four generations of my family. There was me, my hubby (complete with camera), plus my Dad (even though he doesn't play golf) and our dancing granddaughter. It was only as I started to make a birthday card with the little dancing girl that I realised I'd missed a teeny tiny detail. You see it appears that the young dancer is actually an older lady ...

Wonderful Moments
Every now and then I wish I wasn't a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. Now don't get me wrong I love being a demonstrator, it's brought so much to my life; creativity, new friendships, travel opportunities, more than I could have ever imagined. No, the reason I sometimes wish I wasn't a Demonstrator is when I see a great joining offer and think, wow, if I wasn't demonstrator already I'd definitely want to take advantage of that offer! Well today was one of those days. It's Tuesday, the day that ... VIEW POST
