It's the start of another busy month and today I'm playing peekaboo with the new Kits Collection from Stampin' Up! The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that there's no kits in the new Annual Catalogue, and there's a good reason for that. Stampin' Up! wanted to have more flexibility to expand their range of kits, and add to them throughout the year. So to allow customers to see exactly what's available the new Kits Collection will be online only. We're starting with ten kits, and more ... VIEW POST
Strawberry Punch Is Back In Stock
Today's project is a very simple thank you card using the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set. I'll admit, I've never been a huge fan of 'fruit' images on my projects but gave in with this set. The reason? The sentiments and the gorgeous leaf and flower images. Even if I never used the strawberry images, there are still 14 stamps that would see a lot of use. For me that made buying this set a complete no-brainer. Of course there is a coordinating punch, and so I ended up getting that as well, just ... VIEW POST
Strong And Beautiful Moments Combine
As the days go by more and more items on the Retiring List are selling out. Sometimes customers like to wait and see if products are going to be reduced and that can happen. However I usually tell my customers to weigh up how badly they want a particular product and whether it's worth missing out completely just because they hoped to save a few dollars?

Seeing The Last Of Seaside Spray
Today's card really is the final one using the retiring Seaside Spray ink. It's a beautiful blue colour that I am going to miss terribly. So it seems only fitting that my final project is a sympathy card. DOG SYMPATHY The Pampered Pets Stamp Set is one I've had for a while but not used much. It contains images of two dogs and two cats plus some great sentiments that are not specifically pet related. Today I began with a 4" x 5-1/4" layer of Very Vanilla Card and using Early ... VIEW POST
Beautiful Moments Beautiful Card
I really enjoy creating scenes and projects using images of people and/or animals and for that reason I'm always drawn to certain stamp sets. One of my current favourites is the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set which is perfectly named. With eight images and three sentiments I don't think there's been one project I've made that I didn't love. Even when they don't go according to plan. BEAUTIFUL IMAGES This project all started with the amazing line drawing of the lady in the Beautiful ... VIEW POST
Don’t Overlook Those Darling Donkeys
Today's project comes to you courtesy of my daughter after I told her I wanted to make a gift tag. She suggested a cute lamb, but I don't have a stamp image of a lamb. So instead I chose the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set which you can currently get for free as part of Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration promotion. A TAIL OF SEVERAL DONKEYS My project began with small scraps of card (some VERY small) and a Tuxedo Black ink pad. From the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set I chose the donkey with the rose ... VIEW POST
