Playing While It Rains

September 16, 2023 Leave a Comment

Hurricane Lee has begun to impact Nova Scotia, although it’s now been downgraded to a ‘post-tropical storm’. We’re still going to get strong winds, heavy rain and tidal surge, but over a much wider area. By 8.20 am over 90,000 properties were without power, and the situation will get worse before it gets better. So I need to get my post typed quickly, just in case. When I sat down to design this notecard project I couldn’t help but reach for the Playing In The Rain Stamp Set and Dies. CUTE ... VIEW POST

Create this "thinking of you" card using the Go To Greetings Stamp Set, Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and All About Autumn paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Leaf Fall Again

September 12, 2023 Leave a Comment

Great news! The All About Autumn 6” x 6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) is back in stock. Yay! With autumn ‘photos’ on one side and copper foiled patterns on the other, this has to be my favourite paper from the Mini Catalogue. I love the warm colour combinations and the images are simply gorgeous. For today’s “thinking of you” card I decided to combine an autumn leaf photo with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. And it gave me a rare desire to use orange for my card base. AUTUMN ... VIEW POST

Abundant Beauty

September 9, 2023 Leave a Comment

It’s 30 days until Thanksgiving in Canada and Mother Nature’s starting to put out the decorations. Even though it’s unseasonably warm here in Nova Scotia I can still see signs of autumn starting to appear. There’s lots of pumpkins and pumpkin spice treats in the stores, but for me the best part of autumn is the warm colours. So when I found a leafy stencil in the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks I couldn’t help myself. Out came the Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Copper Clay and Berry Burst ink ... VIEW POST

Smiles & Sadness

August 24, 2023 Leave a Comment

Today I’m little sad as our granddaughter returns home to the UK after spending 3 weeks with us here in Nova Scotia. We’ve been shopping across the border in Maine, attended a powwow in Truro, and walked on the ocean floor at Wasson Bluff. But the highlight was most definitely whale watching in the Bay of Fundy. That eventful trip brought tears as car trouble nearly scuppered our plans, however the amazing kindness of people we met on Long Island saved the day and restored the smiles to our ... VIEW POST

Frosted Dots Magic

August 20, 2023 Leave a Comment

Although I’m still enjoying summer with my 12 year-old granddaughter I can’t help but think of Christmas. As a papercrafter it’s a bit of an occupational hazard. However my recently delivered pre-order from the Stampin’ Up! September to December 2023 Mini Catalogue remains unopened. In fact today’s simple Sunday project was made before Alyssa arrived. I’d made a card using the Courage & Faith Stamp Set and had a little extra time to play. But when I added Loose Frosted Dots to the berries on ... VIEW POST

Warm Welcome Reminder

August 16, 2023 3 Comments

You’ve heard me mention Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives range before. Over the past week I’ve used a number of products from this range which have never appeared in any catalogue (and won’t). However did you realise that this range also includes a few items that were in a past catalogue but are no longer there? These include two of the larger sizes of Circle Punches that were retired several years ago. But with today’s quick project I wanted to reaquaint you with the Warm Welcome Stamp Set ... VIEW POST
