Sometimes you want to give a little gift to show you care. So I thought it would be fun to send hugs and kisses in one sweet treat package. As today's project shows, it really doesn't take long to create something special. SENDING HUGS This project all started with the pretty "sending hugs" sentiment from the retiring Perfectly Framed Stamp Set. Taking some Very Vanilla Card I first wiped it with the retiring Embossing Buddy to remove any oils and static. Then I stamped the ... VIEW POST
Wonderful Care Packages To Make Up
Today I need to finish making up some care packages to ship to my daughter. Some time ago I bought some wonderful little treats and gifts that I thought she would love, but they haven't yet made it into the mail. That will be rectified later, but first I wanted to make a colourful bookmark to add to the box. WONDERFUL BUT QUICK I'm still working my way through some of my paper scraps and for this project picked up the Bird Ballad 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. Of all the ... VIEW POST
COVID – Together We Can Get Through Anything
Right now it seems like everything is becoming a challenge. From buying basic supplies, to maintaining social distancing, to accepting that we are all part of the COVID problem, AND part of the solution.

Shades Of Blue Came In Waves
Today I decided it was about time I created a masculine / gender neutral gift tag. I've been looking at the tags I've created recently and there's been a lot of flowers, but not today.

Then I punched the top using the oval hole option on the Detailed Trio Punch. Then I turned to the Country ... VIEW POST
Finding A Little Parisian Romance
Playing with scraps can be a lot of fun as today's project shows. With Valentine's Day approaching I had romance in mind and the Parisian Blossoms paper in my hand. PARISIAN BLOSSOMS I was immediately taken with the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). Not so much for the Eiffel Tower images, but for the flowers and champagne foil accents. I've already made a couple of projects with this paper but couldn't resist pulling it out again. First though I needed to ... VIEW POST
Vintage – Not My Regular Style
I've been making the most of the recent bad weather and spending time in my studio planning for spring. I love the fresh look of pastel colours and the Subtles family of inks is perfect for this. But every now and then I like to step out of my comfort zone and attempt something a little different. So that's how I ended up making this vintage style card. VINTAGE COLLAGE My project began when I decided to experiment with stamping a collage style background. I cheated a little by ... VIEW POST
