While I love bright colours, as some of my recent projects have demonstrated, I also like creating more muted projects. This is especially useful when you have to make a card in a hurry. My recent 24 cards in 24 hours marathon for World Card Making Day was just such an occasion. With the Nature's Harvest Stamp Set in my hand I needed something interesting but quick to put together. This was the result... NATURE'S HARVEST CONEFLOWER There's something about the coneflower in the ... VIEW POST
Never Forget With Nature’s Harvest
Although I'm not an avid scrapbooker I do love to look at photos of family and friends. It's amazing how something so simple can trigger memories and feelings from events many years past. I'm old-fashioned in that I like my photos printed so I don't have to worry whether the battery in my device is sufficiently charged. So every now and then I like to put together a little pocket photo album. The covers that come with the albums are often uninspiring, which means before filling them with ... VIEW POST

So with that in mind I created this project featuring the Nature's Harvest Stamp Set and coordinating Harvest ... VIEW POST
Lavender From Nature’s Harvest Dies
Well today's project came as a total surprise to me. When I first saw the Nature's Harvest Dies I could have sworn there was a wheat die. However this time after I used the die I saw something completely different. Lavender! So I changed my plans and created this card with a scented bonus.

Finally it's August 3rd and the new Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration Brochure are now live. I've had my copies of these for a while and I'm so excited that you can now order from them too.

First came a cover for a 4" x 6" pocket photo album in my blog post Peaceful start to my sneak peeks. Then on day two I created this sweet card in Health & ... VIEW POST
