Some stamps sets attract me because of the images, some because of the sentiments, and some for both. I must admit that the Incredible Like You Stamp Set was more about the sentiments for me. I love the two fonts used for each one, crisp clear and easy to read. They're a good size too so you won't miss them on a project. So the focus of my Design Team contribution for this week's What Will You Stamp? challenge, WWYS208 Incredible Like You, should come as no surprise. CONTRASTING ... VIEW POST
WCMD 2018 Personal Challenge
If you saw yesterday's blog post you'll know that I set myself a personal challenge to mark World Card Making Day. Starting at 12 noon on October 6th I would design and make from scratch, 24 cards in 24 hours. In the first 10 hours I managed to complete 12 cards including the inside and envelopes. Then I remembered that I hadn't written today's blog post! So here I am after 10 solid hours of crafting, faithfully typing up a blog post for you. As I stifle yet another ... VIEW POST
I love what I do
As someone who considered themselves to be not very artistic, it never ceases to amaze me that I'm now passionate about papercrafting and couldn't imagine not creating something on a daily basis. The Love What You Do Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! sums it up really and it was this set I turned to when I sat down to make thank you cards for all the customers who placed orders with me in July. I really appreciate their business, and for today's simple Sunday Project I thought I'd show you the ... VIEW POST
Love what you do
Yesterday was an incredibly busy day made more difficult by the oppressive humidity. The highlight though was my 'Christmas in July' class where we had a lot of fun playing with stamp sets, dies and Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Stampin' Up! 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue. I'll be holding more classes featuring Christmas projects later in the year once the 2018 Holiday Catalogue is released. It was while preparing for my class I came across some other DSP and stamp sets that I probably ... VIEW POST
Beautiful notepads
OK, I admit it, I may be slightly addicted to pretty notepads. But in my defence, many of the notepads and notebooks I buy are rather boring. In fact often they don't even come with covers. Of course with my stash of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper, card, embellishments, inks and ribbons, it's not hard to solve that problem. In fact the only problem I have is what to use next. Today I decided to us the gorgeous Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper together with the Love ... VIEW POST
A new day
Yesterday was both sad and uplifting, we marked our late son's birthday and ate chocolate fudge cake. In the UK my daughter and granddaughter released balloons in his memory. We were all grateful for the many words of comfort given in person and via social media, and I think the day wasn't quite as bad as we were dreading. Like every day since we lost our son, the sun set and has risen again. It's a new day and the future is unwritten, we move forward knowing that it's exactly what he ... VIEW POST
