Do you ever find yourself drawn to an image but then struggle to actually use it on a project? It's happened to me more than once. I had a horrible feeling that was going to be my fate with the Elegantly Said Stamp Set. So rather than stress, I just left the stamp set on my desk where I could see see it. After a few days working on other things ideas started to pop into my head. Maybe they won't all work out, but it's certainly not the creative block I was dreading. So here's my first ... VIEW POST
One Last Treasures Of Life Project?
The end of May is fast approaching and so it's time to reflect on the Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue. While technically the sales period for this mini catalogue runs to the end of June, we'll hear about retiring products much sooner. Unlike previous years, we already know quite a lot simply by looking in the 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue. Some products have been carried over, although many of the discounted bundles have not. But what about the rest? Although there's a possibility ... VIEW POST
Love Shows With Treasures Of Life
Happy Valentine's Day! It's Sunday and that means it's time for a simple Sunday project. Today I couldn't resist using the Treasures of Life Stamp Set, and writing you a little poem.

Red & Grey For A Modern Valentine
Sunday is Valentine's Day and for most people it will be very different to last year. Still that doesn't stop us sending cards. When you visit the stores most card displays are a sea of red, and hearts abound. But often I feel that the designs are quite feminine, so today I wanted to do something a little different. GREY BASE I began this card several times, first with a card base in Pretty Peacock. Then I changed to Gray Granite, and I even toyed with Whisper White. Nothing really ... VIEW POST
Happy Making Love Hearts Treats
It's February, and that means you'll be seeing hearts everywhere as we head towards Valentine's Day. The shops are full of heart-shaped products, and the candy aisles have taken on a very red hue. One of the candies I picked up was a bag full of rolls of Love Hearts candies. These were quite inexpensive and I thought would make great treats or favours. So this morning I sat down to turn these uninspiring Love Hearts packs into something a little more giftable. HEARTS WRAP I began by ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Sending Hearts
It's the last Thursday of the month and time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. This month we've been playing with the January kit called Sending Hearts. While it might appear to be a 'Valentines' kit, I have three alternate projects that can be used all year round. TWO FOR ONE My first two projects were created from one card base, the Poppy Parade one in fact. And it was the square pattern that inspired my design. First though I cut a 2" strip off the front of the card ... VIEW POST
