Have you ever done something completely daft? You know the kind of thing that you hoped no one saw at the time. Then somehow you can't resist telling a special friend or family member about it. Usually the retelling is accompanied by "don't laugh but..." Of course laughter often eventually follows. This was what came to mind with this thank you card using the Lighthearted Lines Stamp Set. "Thanks for lending and ear ... and keeping a straight face." MYSTERY STAMPING This card ... VIEW POST
Lighthearted Lines Inspired Me Once Again
My regular readers will know that I love finding new and interesting sentiments to use on my projects. Sometimes they're part of a stamp set with both images and sentiments. Other times they're part of a sentiment only set like the new Lighthearted Lines. This set of eight stamps has somewhat larger sentiments, although they're certainly not huge. Some of them could also be 'edited' with the first part stamped on the front of a card and the second part on the inside. Today though I kept ... VIEW POST
Thankfully Everything Is Figure-outable
Today has been one of those days when the simplest of projects just kept going wrong. Decorating a boring notebook is something I've done many times and it's not hard really. However, despite the challenges I faced, I'm pretty happy with the result. By the time I got to the end "Everything is figure-outable" seemed to sum it up perfectly. SIMPLEST COVER This notebook happens to be one I've been using for some time. It's 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" with a black binding and was looking rather ... VIEW POST
Hey Chick It’s Nearly Time To Leave
The Last Chance promotion for the Stampin' Up! January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue officially starts on Tuesday (June 1st). That's when some items will be reduced by up to 50%. However ALL products on that list are now only available while stocks last. So if you don't need to wait until Tuesday to place your order, my advice is, don't. Just in case. What's missing from the Last Chance list though is the Hey Chick Stamp Set and coordinating Chick Dies. I've double checked with Stampin' ... VIEW POST
Plot Twist And Thinking Outside The Box
When you're an avid papercrafter like me you get used to having all your tools and materials close at hand. It's only when you can't get to everything you appreciate how fortunate you are. When I first saw the "plot twist!" sentiment I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I mean it practically screamed "bookmark". So the minute I got my hands on the Lighthearted Lines Stamp Set that's what I sat down to make. Little did I realise that I'd have to be very creative if I wanted to get it ... VIEW POST
A Little Lighthearted Sunday Banter
I love Sundays. It's a day to relax and unwind, maybe read a book, or sit and watch a movie. It's also the day when I plan for the week ahead. I don't necessarily get everything done, but at least I know what I'd like to achieve. Some weeks are more successful than others. Of course making a plan means pulling out one of my many notebooks, or decorating a new one. So when I got the new Lighthearted Lines Stamp Set that was the first project on my list. For me Sundays also mean simple ... VIEW POST
