I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a lot of extra time on their hands so that we're unable to go out. I'm also probably not the only person who knows that I they could make great use of that time, if only they stopped procrastinating. The only way I've found to get jobs done is to write them on a To Do list, check it frequently and tick them off. Of course when you have a long list of jobs you need a large To Do list. So that's what I made this morning. LARGE NOTEPAD I found ... VIEW POST

There's lots to talk about today. First, today's the day to place your $65+ order if you want to get free shipping.

Updating My Easel Calendar
One of my most popular projects on my blog, YouTube and Pinterest has been an easel calendar. It features a stitched mini calendar, 3" x 3" Post-It Note® pad and a mini pen in a holder.

Any Excuse To Make A Pretty Card
It's been a busy morning with Stampin' Up! announcing a one-day stamp set sale on Wednesday. Stamp sets rarely go on sale so I plan to check my wish list and take full advantage of the deals. So while I do that, here's a pretty card that I hope gives you an excuse to be creative today. STRIKING PATTERNED PAPER This project began with a very striking pattern from the Magnolia Lane 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack.

Fussy-Cut or Colour? Your Choice.
I recently made a card using the Magnolia Lane 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) and was complimented on my colouring. I had to admit that the flower was fussy-cut from patterned paper and the colouring was actually done by a Stampin' Up! artist. It seems that just recently I've been using DSP a lot and I'm starting to collect a pile of off-cuts. Never one to waste my craft supplies, it's time to start using up these scraps. FOLDED TAG I found a 3" x 6" piece of Thick Whisper ... VIEW POST
Bringing Back Butterfly Gala
It seems ages since I last made something using the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set. I suppose I have been a little distracted by the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue, but that's really no excuse. Today I saw this week's Just Add Ink and Global Design Project challenges and Butterfly Gala immediately flew to mind. So I simply sat down and started to create. OPEN SPACE I wanted the butterfly panel to be the focal point so opted for a very plain background. I began with a card base of Thick ... VIEW POST
