Retirement Day Is Here

March 23, 2022 Leave a Comment

Anyone else excited by retirement? Today's the day that we find out which Stampin' Up! products are being discontinued. However we must wait just a little longer as the Retiring List won't be revealed until 4pm Atlantic (1pm MT). At the same time, Stampin' Up! Demonstrators will get their first look at the new 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue. Something that definitely won’t be in the new catalogue are the 2020/22 In Colors. So before they’re completely sold out here’s one final card project using all ... VIEW POST

Caught Up In The Moment

March 16, 2022 Leave a Comment

I’ve always been enthralled by nature, and even more so since moving to Nova Scotia.  We’re very fortunate to have a large piece of land that attracts all sorts of wildlife.  Just recently we’ve been treated to daily visits from a number of white tailed deer and today was no exception.  Although I counted 10 deer eating at various spots, what caught my attention was something just off to the side, two small fawns hidden in the long grass.  At that moment I couldn’t help but simply stand and ...

Bragworthy Meets Beautiful Moments

February 17, 2022 Leave a Comment

While it’s the images that often draw me to a new stamp set, I love fun sentiments.  In the Stampin’ Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue it was Lighthearted Lines that caught my eye. So when their new Mini Catalogue was revealed I wondered if there would be something similar.  Bragworthy was exactly what I was hoping for and I’ve already made a few projects using this set.  Today though I finally got around to the sentiment that gave the stamp set its name, and all it took was a ...

Delivering Cheer For A Little Longer

December 7, 2021 Leave a Comment

It may be nearly Christmas but that's not the only reason I'm crafting. In my family there's quite a few birthdays in December and several of them are right around the 25th. As the years have gone on I've discovered more and more people for whom the same is true. So it seemed only right that I intersperse my Christmas projects with birthday ones. That doesn't mean I have to put away my 'Christmas' stamp sets though. Today's project was created using the retiring Delivering Cheer Stamp Set ... VIEW POST

Delivering Another Simple Card Idea

September 22, 2021 Leave a Comment

When I made today's project using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set I thought I'd come up with a cute Christmas card. But several days later as I looked at the image of the lady carrying a huge pile of gifts I had another idea. The pile of gifts could actually be for any occasion. With a simple change of sentiment you could have a card for a birthday, baby shower, wedding, anything. So now I've added that to my design ideas list for a future blog post. But first, here's my original Christmas ... VIEW POST

Sheep Stamp Set And Dies Sneak Peek

July 29, 2021 Leave a Comment

You know I'm a sucker for cute animal images right? So you shouldn't be surprised at today's sneak peek project from the new Sale-A-Bration Brochure. When my pre-order qualified for two free products I had to choose the Counting Sheep Stamp Set and coordinating Sheep Dies. Once I had my hands on them I decided my first project should be a gift tag, and these new products didn't disappoint. BACKGROUND SCENE I began my tag with an idea for a simple background scene. First I cut a 2" x ... VIEW POST
