Did you realise that one week today it will be the end of January! How on earth did that happen? As I get older it definitely seems like the days and weeks are speeding by faster than ever. Good job too, as I’m bored with winter now, and the winter storm warning that appeared overnight. I’m definitely a warm weather girl and spring can’t arrive soon enough. Perhaps that’s why I paired the Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set with this sheet from the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper (DSP) ... VIEW POST
Love For Friendly Gnomes
It’s Monday. Again. We’ve woken up to a couple of inches of snow that I wasn’t aware was forecast. Now it’s turned to rain and road conditions will be horrible until the snowplows get out there. I suppose we’ve got off quite lucky with the weather so far, but as we head into the second half of winter it will likely get worse. Meanwhile we have Valentine’s Day to look forward to. So today I couldn’t resist using the Friendly Gnomes Stamp Set to make this sweet “love you” project. FRIENDLY ... VIEW POST
I Love Simple Cards
One of the things I love about papercrafting is the way I’m constantly inspired to create something new. While it’s definitely fun to use dies, punches, embossing folders and other tools, they aren’t essential. In fact I enjoy going back to basics to create projects that need no special tools or techniques. That’s why I created Simple Sunday, it’s one day that’s always reserved for a simple project that anyone can do. Today’s card was made at the end of last year and I’m delighted with how it ...

Perfectly Detailed
At last we’ve come to the end of a busy week. I didn’t achieve everything I set out to do, but I came close so I’ll take that as a win. We’re currently under a snowfall warning with 6” to 8” of snow forecast for the next 24 hours. That could be fun, until we have to go out and shovel it. Fortunately my latest order from Stampin’ Up! was delivered yesterday, including the Perfectly Detailed Stamp Set for me. Right now I’m thinking there’s snow better time to craft. DETAILED ...

Decorative Details
It seems to me that just lately my projects aren’t quite going according to plan. Not that it’s a bad thing, but simply that while I may start out with an idea for a project somehow it seems to take on a life of its own. For instance, for today’s thank you card I had every intention of using an embossing folder to add texture to the patterned paper. However before I knew it I’d stamped on the paper using the Decorative Borders Stamp Set and coloured it in instead! QUARTER SHEET My card ... VIEW POST
Another Adorable Owl
Today’s project took longer than normal to make. Not because it’s difficult, but because I had to stop to unclog my Fine-Tip Glue Pen. As I was finishing this task I realised it would be helpful if I filmed my process so I could show you what I do. Unfortunately in the video I’d zoomed in really close on my second bottle and most of what I was doing was off camera! So while I wait for it to get clogged again, here’s the adorable owl that started it all. STANDING OWL My project began when ... VIEW POST
