It’s going to be another one of those hot and humid days. With a heat warning in place I’ve just closed up all the windows and drawn the curtains. That should keep the house relatively cool as the temperature begins to climb. Later, once it starts to cool again and the onshore breeze picks up, I’ll open up the house again. In the meantime I shall be mostly crafting. Today’s project was inspired by the pretty butterflies I saw while mowing a path through our flower meadow at the ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Very Best Occasions
It’s time for another IDEAS blog hop where this month our theme is “holidays”. While we've just celebrated Canada Day here, I wanted to look towards the end of the year. Christmas is definitely my favourite holiday for crafting projects, and I suspect for many others too. So for my Tutorial Bundle projects I decided to use my go to paper right now, Lights Aglow and the Very Best Occasions Bundle. Meanwhile for my blog followers I used these products to create a striking “love you mean it” gift ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing: Celebrating In Color
It's the last Thursday of the month and time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. To be honest I thought I'd have to miss this one as my Celebrating In Color kit arrived quite late. Even so, I managed to create two alternate projects in the short time I had available. While I loved the bright 'as designed' projects I thought it would be fun to try something focusing on the foiled sentiments. So with the kit and few extras from my craft studio I set to work... I love the card ... VIEW POST
Encircled In Beauty Retires
When a product is retired by Stampin' Up! I stop using it on my blog projects. This is because I'd hate you to fall in love with something you can no longer buy. Many of these products are then sold off to make room for new things. But there are always exceptions for products that will definitely stay for my own private use. The Encircled In Beauty Dies fall into that latter category. I love being able to create doilies in any colour I want, and in multiple sizes too. ENCIRCLED IN ... VIEW POST
Romance Was Top Of Mind
You know it’s funny the things that come to mind as I’m considering new projects to make for my blog. Take the other night... I was thinking about bookmarks and the kinds of books people read. I’m a fan of medical thrillers especially by Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs, but I do like other genres too. And then it occurred to me, what about having a different bookmark tailored to each genre! So to kick off that idea I designed this pretty bookmark that’s perfect for all those romance ... VIEW POST
Whale Done Turtle Friends
A few weeks ago I designed a gift tag using two different stamp sets that were made for each other, Seas the Day and Whale Done. At the end of the post I mentioned there was another stamp set that went perfectly with Whale Done. I promised to bring you a project showing what I meant, and today’s the day. I can’t believe I never noticed the link between Turtle Friends and Whale Done before, but here it is. Maybe I should look more closely at my other stamp sets... LOOK WHAT I FOUND! When ... VIEW POST
